Absolut-ely Loose Off The Goose


The Wall Street Journal reported the declining sales of Absolut Vodka. The dismal sales are being attributed to the recession and the availability of lower cost vodkas such as Skyy & Svedka who have gained market share. Absolut comes in second to Smirnoff who remains #1 in the US. Grey Goose, owned by Bacardi, comes in at #3. If you really want to restore growth do what all the big boys do and acquire the competition or just keep reminding us we're paying more for all natural ingredients and no sugar added as a great reason for consumers to remain loyal lushes. I mean the thought of Purity + Vodka go hand and hand so why not?
On that note, have a fabulous and safe Labor(less) Day weekend!

VIBE Magazine: The Hard Times Edition



Apparently Vibe magazine is now defunct. Its unfortunate, I remember when the magazine first hit newsstands. It was the first of its kind, started by Quincy Jones and it was a large glossy magazine with the latest on the industry, fashion & hip-hop culture. I couldn't wait to get a new issue...such a shame. The magazine had good circulation but not enough advertisers. The Dream & Christina Milian are said to be covering the last issue-oh boy! (rapradar.com)
