03/04/2008 09:45 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


Audrey - this is just a hoot...I have never been in a comic strip before. Your talents soar way beyond the average bird. And you got my phrase right too.

03/04/2008 09:56 PM by Sheron Cardin - how2homestage.com RESA (California Moods Inc)


Sheron--Sooooo glad you approve.  I was worried I'd have poster's remorse! 

03/04/2008 10:05 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


Audrey- Another great adventure for Staging Girl!!! Karen and Sheron are natural stars!!! Hmm...a calendar of stagers? What do you think, Melissa?

03/04/2008 10:30 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


Audrey...I literally gasped when I saw that there was a Staging girl 4 adventure...I hoped I hadn't missed anything.  I truly am hooked...this reminds me of tuning in to Brenda Star every Sunday morning...only your graphics are so much better.  Keep up the great work!

cheers,

03/04/2008 11:05 PM by Gina McNew Host of Diva in the House- The Voice of Real Estate Staging Radio (diva la difference interiors)

03/04/2008 11:16 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)

cheers,

03/05/2008 09:42 AM by Gina McNew Host of Diva in the House- The Voice of Real Estate Staging Radio (diva la difference interiors)

03/05/2008 12:28 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


Charlene--Those boots are one of my prize possessions.  They're actually Dolce & Gabbana and man, did they break the bank, but they are oh-so-worth it.  I LOVE 'EM!  Thanks for the visit!

Sally--Many thanks! Maybe you could make an appearance as the AR Hawaii Real Estate diva?  Staging Girl loves hula dancing.  

03/05/2008 12:33 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


Audrey  Another great and exciting episode...on the edge of my seat waiting for #5!  Bring on the men!!

Karen--I hope they like it!

03/05/2008 09:54 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


I'm sure that took some time and effort to put together.  Great color and layout.

03/05/2008 10:01 PM by John Hokkanen → Encinitas Real Estate (SurfTheTurf.com)


John--It does take a good bit of time, but I think it's worth it.  Thanks for the feedback!

03/05/2008 10:12 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


I love the Texan adventure this time. A calendar... now that's an interesting idea! You are full of creativity!

03/06/2008 01:35 PM by Bevin Googer ~ www.StagingAndRedesign.com (First Impressions Home Staging and Interior Redesign)


Sally--How cute is that?  My family actually has a short video of my doing the hula on stage at a luau.  My mother got picked from the audience but she made me go in her place!  It actually is a good reminder of how my abs USED to look lol.  Hmm...motivation for me to get in better shape this year! (March is still early for New Year's Resolutions right?)

Bevin--You know, I WAS kidding about the calendar, but the more I think about it....you and Melissa can pose together for my "Carolina Girls"!

 

03/06/2008 01:59 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


OMG! I'm FEATURED in Art of Marketing You! YIPPEEE! Blatant self-promotion, maybe, but I am happy :)


03/06/2008 04:41 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


Hi Audrey- "Don't Mess With Texas". Love all your adventurous posts! Kathy

03/06/2008 06:25 PM by Kathy Riggle Houston Home Staging-STAGING SMART NSOLD (STAGING SMART N SOLD)


Kathy--a friend told me his grandfather used the expression, "You done flung me a craving" when he was hungry for something in particular.  I don't know who or what it was, but lately, I've been flung a cravin' for some TEXAS.  At least my alter ego gets to visit!

03/06/2008 07:41 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


Audrey...you should well be a feature on the art of marketing you...you have brought such an incredibly different marketing approach to this business.  I am curious, as I LOVE all things marketing related...is this the type of marketing you do for your business in your area as well?  I know it has to make you stand out amongst all your competition.  Keep the creative ideas coming.  I for one, hope I make the Atlanta auditons...I will proudly share my role in stager girl along side any other media exposure I have gotten. 

03/07/2008 09:07 AM by Gina McNew Host of Diva in the House- The Voice of Real Estate Staging Radio (diva la difference interiors)


Hi Aubrey,

All I can say is WOW!  You've done an incredible job with your blog!  Fantastic!

03/09/2008 02:20 PM by Bill Exeter (1031 Exchange Expert) (Exeter 1031 Exchange Services, LLC)


Gina--What? How could you not make the audition when you showed up in that pleather catsuit??

William--You reminded me of when I worked with ANOTHER Audrey.  How random is that, right?  Same age and everything!  Anyway, was quite confusing in the office so someone gave us the monikers "Audrey Fantastic" and "Audrey Spectacular."  I was spectacular.  :)

Paul--You slay(baugh) me with your dry humor.  Blog sucks?  HA! (you laugh as you gloat over your 84K in points)

 

03/09/2008 09:51 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


I must agree with Paul.  You are indeed showing off here, and his blog does suck.

03/10/2008 12:39 AM by Jason Crouch, Broker - Austin Texas Real Estate (Austin Texas Homes, LLC)


Points don't mean a thing, Audrey. Just look at Crouch. He has more points than brain cells, and his blog REALLY sucks.

03/10/2008 12:57 AM by Paul Slaybaugh, Scottsdale AZ Real Estate (Realty Executives)


  Jason & Paul--Boy, boys, settle down.  No fighting on my blog 'less I get first dibs in throwing a punch.  

And in summary:

 

03/10/2008 02:01 AM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


Audrey, I loved this episode of Staging Girl. How nice for you to include shoutouts to some of your fellow stagers.

03/10/2008 07:14 AM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)


Brian--Yeah the goal is for Staging Girl to be not just MeMe but also ThemThem!  Glad you enjoyed it!

03/10/2008 03:12 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)


Gina--Yikes! That's not a good look! LOL.  Well, there's always polyester......

03/10/2008 04:29 PM by Audrey Hoffman, SimplyStage (SimplyStage)
