Woo-hoo! Minna Yoo from LoveBottle.net was on View From The Bay this week talking about Green tips for under $20. Minna was one of our Bonus Interviews a month or so ago, and she gave more information on this subject. Yay Minna, for appearing on ABC!
Sandy Shepard For President! (wink)
My mom “Pranked” me with this and it really made me laugh today. Check it out!
Yippee – See us in Sheila Kelley’s Global S Newsletter!
Yay! Our View From The Bay episode (and my book) were mentioned in Sheila Kelley’s global “S” newsletter, read by all the coolest grrls in the world. If you haven’t seen it… hmmmm, whyzat? No, really…
OK just kiddin’ – here’s the link.
Besides, you just gotta LOVE the book that she’s covering… A Mind Of Its Own: A Cultural History of the Penis by David M. Friedman.
Quantum of Solace Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko practices her stunts (Yahoo! video link)
Thought I’d share a video from Yahoo of the Bond Girl for the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, coming out on November 17th. As I’m busily trying to get things/businesses/pets/James (smile) ready for my imminent departure for Dallas, no pithy blogging here – just the link. Olga Kurylenko is Camille, training for her stunts in the movie. I just love video like this, the “behind the scenes” stuff. Have a look!
FemDefence: A Protection Against Rape
This is from the Femdefense website:
“Femdefence is an on-going project first presented in 2003. The project includes the creation of an imaginary product, which bears the project’s name. The product is a kind of protection against rape, somewhat similar to a tampon in that its user carries it inserted into her vagina. In it there is a sharp pin which has a penetrating effect on the perpetrator’s penis in the event of a rape. The construction is such that the pin cannot injure the bearer. The design is based on a similar construction invented by a Swedish woman named Anita Ingmarsdotter. She came to work on her invention after a series of rape cases in Sweden that received a lot of public attention. Typically, in many of these cases, the accused do not receive an adequate punishment, and the abused women are left without appropriate support from the judicial system. All too often they, in the perpetrators’ place, are burdened with guilt.”
Yee-owch…

Podcast 11: Listener Feedback and a Chat about Cashflow
Hello! I know, it’s been quite some time since I did a regular podcast. Amazingly, this is my 35th podcast, but that includes the hynotherapy podcasts, interviews, vodcasts, etc. So I am calling this “Podcast 11” since it’s the 11th one where it’s me, just me…
The picture at left is Special Agent V and her sexy James. They live in Switzerland, as you will hear, and are planning a round-the-world trip! Special Agent V asked for tips on looking Bond Girlish (not schlumpy) when living for nine months out of one suitcase. If you’re curious, she found BeABondGirl.com this way:
“I was home sick in bed for 4 days and I am a fan of James Bond (I have the whole collection on DVD ). Since I was already in bed with my laptop surfing endlessly, I was wondering what exactly the Bond Girl names were and to know if they had a character story beyond what you see in the films. I started my search and found you online. And then loaded up a podcast… and yeah, got hooked. Better than knowing a Bond Girl is to be one yourself ;-)”
Secret Agent V and I had a long-running email tail about how, and what, to pack for her trip, which I go into in abbreviated fashion on this podcast. I also had an email from – Mr. Bond himself! Yes, I did… though it might not be what you think!
Next, here is the information from “Mr. Bond” on his venture into podcasting – it is Episode 33 on the Nursing Show blog, and if you click here, it will take you to it. Mr. Bond is interviewed on being an E.R. Nurse after being an EMT/Paramedic for over a decade (his interview is actually at the 12:30 mark). What a great podcast! It’s amazing, there are podcasts for everything…with great resources, articles and links. This is a super one! Go Bond… Paul Bond!
Finally, this BABG podcast deals with how we Bond Girls make our money. Using Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Kiyosaki as a template, we discuss the differences between being an employee, self-employed, a business, and an investor, and how being a “real” business (versus being self-employed, which is just being an employee, with yourself as your boss, janitor, marketer, bill collecto
r, and chief bottle washer!) can ultimately lead you to the cashflow upon which to retire.
As part of discussing cashflow and business, I talk quite a bit about network marketing and my experiences with many such companies, including my current one, SendOutCards.com. Because I really believe in networking marketing as a way to control your destiny money-wise, I am offering anyone who writes to me a copy of Beach Money by Jordan Adler. If you’d like a copy, listen to the podcast and let me send you one!
Please let me know if you would like more on wealth-building or any other topics. I will likely talk a bit more about finances, wealth creation, and the like in the next few podcasts, but my subjects are really guided by what you’d like to hear. So speak up – don’t be shy!
As I noted in the podcast, unfortunately I have lost my previous call-in line. Yes, it happens to the best of us. The New Number for Listener Feedback is 206-350-1867. You can now reach me both on doubleohsandy [at] yahoo [dot] com (which comes to my Blackberry), or sandy [at] BeABondGirl [dot] com, my new direct email address. Finally, you can always Comment below. I hope you enjoy this episode, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Quantum of Solace trailer
The trailer for the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, is now out – here it is. As you can see, it includes lots of clips from Casino Royale – so it’s likely to be as “rumor has it,” a continuation of that story.
Enjoy!
View From The Bay – S Factor segment.
Here I am again! In this View From The Bay segment (ABC), I introduced the View From The Bay folks to Sheila Kelley’s S Factor, where I take advanced pole dancing. However, it all starts with a beginning class!
The host, Janelle Wang, did great! I hope that you enjoy it!
Zen Habits’ Getting in Shape List
Here is a great list from ZenHabits.net – if you don’t subscribe, I would recommend it. This link compiles some of the best archived articles from the website on getting in shape. They run from Motivation, to Weight Loss, to How to Start (or how to get BACK on the Exercise “Wagon”), etc.
I would strongly suggest clicking on the link above – because that’s what I’m going to be doing for the next little while. I sure need some help in the Motivation/Get Back Started department!
