New, Never Used Desk Phone: Desk Phone with a Funny Story I Put on eBay Today

Your are looking at a brand new, never used line-land phone, model AEGIS-2510 ASH, 5 year warranty, purchased by me on Amazon. I just put it for sale on eBay. You Can Buy It Here

 

I bought this phone  for my husband because I was trying to get him off the AT&T rental service. He has been renting his phone from AT&T that looks much like this one (see the photo) for gazillion years. 

We already paid a gazillion dollars to AT&T. In fact, AT&T got so rich, they went out and bought BellSouth and who knows what else.

Now, long story short, my husband, Thank You Jesus, is now off the AT&T rental. But with a different land-line phone.   

Myself, I can't use a land-liner, not with with my busy schedule. I use my battered cellphone.

But my husband would never use a cell. He values the quality of the traditional land-line call. Of course, he doesn't run around like me. Actually he stays near his land-line phone so he can answer when someone calls.

So, back to this phone (see photo, a real asset, no?)

Did I mention, it is a brand new,
never used land line phone
that can be used to make phone calls?

I know you wish this auction was for an iPhone. I  wish that too. At least I wouldn't have to explain how I ended up with THIS  phone.

The truth is I can't stand when something is purchased and not used. I am from Russia. I remember back in Russia when my parents wanted a home-phone, they signed up for it and waited for it for.... thirteen years.

Can you imagine?  I went to kindergarten, then to middle school and almost finished high school. Then they got the phone. The timing was perfect, I now had the home phone number to give to potential  boyfriends.

Seriously, imagine you would have to wait for something for thirteen years? It's like waiting for an eBay auction to end and finally you are the winning bidder. Tah-Dah!

So, BID NOW and BID OFTEN
to WIN this PHONE.
It is a brand new phone.
It never has been used and has
a long story attached.
Plus, you can place and receive phone
calls on this phone. Sweet, no?

Even if you don't need to make calls from a land-liner, you still can find a use for this phone. (See photo, cute, ah?) 

If you feel the urge to suggest some alternative uses for this phone, please post them in comments bellow. I will also append them to my eBay auction.  

For example, you can use it as a memento, a keepsake or a paperweight. If you are into chunky jewelry you can hang it off your neck with the cord.

I can sign and date it for you and you can will it to your heirs. They can look at it a hundreds years from how saying.. H-mm--mmm....I wonder what this was for? So,

BID with Confidence.
This is one of the kind land line phone
with a long story attached.
You Can Buy It Here

If you always wanted a phone with a good story this is the one.  It comes from a atypical household of one Russian wife and one American husband, married for over 15 years, no kids or pets. 

And rest assured you will never be alone when all land line phones are gone and even all cellphones are gone. I presume, it will be the time when Google will set us up with a Brain to Brain direct BrainSearch (BS) and Instant TelepaticMessaging (ITM).  

My husband, however, still will be using his land-liner and you, if you WIN this auction, you can call him on this PHONE. 

BID with Confidence.
This is one of the kind land line phone
with a long story attached.

Event Entertainers in Miami: Top Event Planners knows how to select the right Entertainment for each event

I work with top event planners in Miami and they all tell me this: the right entertainment can really make or break an event.

Event companies and corporate planners maintain a dozen reliable entertainment acts who they can call on a moment's notice.

As a corporate entertainer, I think by now I've worked events in all major industries. I have done upscale fashion and art events and sales conventions, trade shows and society fundraising events.

Plus, every party celebration imaginable. The event's themes and goals couldn't be more different.

But each time my balloon art entertainment was a perfect fit. Of course, I had to modify my costume, my act and my repertoire of balloon art for each event. But it was totally worth it! That's why I love the event entertainment business. You get to do different things all the time!

Party entertainment rules!

Entertainment in Miami Florida: Am I the only Russian Family Entertainer in Miami?

I believe, I am the only Russian family entertainer in Miami, Florida. Other Russians here in Miami blissfully toil as financial advisors or manicurists.

I bet you know at least one Russian manicurist.

I have been called The Russian Balloon Lady and even The Russian Queen of Balloons.

Looking back, I wonder how my life went so astray since I discovered balloon art three years ago.

The other time my life went astray was when I graduated from a Medical School in Russia and looked for every excuse not to practice medicine. I love medicine, the science. It just turned out I can't work in a regulated environment. 

I immigrated to the US in 1992 and held a string of odd jobs. I was a model. I was a body double for Cindy Crawford in her movie Fair Game, filmed in Miami in 1992. I worked for a software company, earning gleafully $8 per hour in 1994. I thought it was the greatest job on earth.  There, I played on a computer all day making more money than any Russian brain surgeon.

Now in 2007 I am still ahead of a Russian brain surgeon financially, by twisting balloon art part time in Miami, Florida.

If you're reading this, you are ahead of a Russian brain surgeon financially too. Almost anyone is. My mom who is a retied English teacher in Russia supplements her $50-a-month pension by selling Tupperware. She makes more money in Tupperware than my sister who is a pediatrician. Pediatricians and surgeons in Russia are equally low-paid.

In the meantime, my clients (the people who are crazy about balloon art) ask me repeatedly when I will be making real art. Some day... I promise.. some day.. maybe next week...

For now, all I have to offer and, don't ask me again, is this balloon art. But I do it 'Best Ever' balloon art. Just ask any five-year old.
