Billy Mays, well-known hawker of waxes, cleaners, and other “as seen on TV” items, died today, June 28, 2009. And that is important because? With a week that held the notable passing of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson, why am I moved by the passing of Billy Mays? Moved is probably way too strong a descriptor…really, I guess thinking about the way Billy Mays made his extremely loud sales pitch is where my mind is playing tonight.

I started blogging a couple of years ago (www.spacegoddess.net) when I was selected to represent Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic (hence, the name “Space Goddess and other worldly pursuits!). Imagine what I could have done with a 30 minute infomercial about taking a suborbital space flight! It slices, it dices, it cleans in one wipe, and the shine will last through rain, snow, sleet AND hail! No, I think not—what I market, what I share with you, is EXPERIENCE—both my experience AND yours! I don’t have to convince you of your need to purchase something that you’ll forget in days, if not moments. I help you have life experiences — perhaps life-changing, maybe relaxing, maybe comfortably predictable or wildly exotic— each is an experience you can tuck in your heart and, maybe—just maybe it will touch your soul.

So, OxiClean aside, and without any drum roll or “Kaboom”, how can I help you create a wonderful vacation experience?
