In good news, my power never went out so Henri wasn’t so bad up here after all. Phew! I got ahead on a few stories since I was stuck inside all day with the heavy rain, which means I have the next batch of queries coming your way now:
RD.com: The best things to buy on sale on Zappos.com right now. Hit me mostly with shoes, but a handful of other items too. $150 or below preferred. NEED THESE BY 8 pm tonight! I know that’s tight, but we’re working on a big push with a tight turnaround. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
RD.com: Best group Halloween costumes. I don’t need commentary for this, but I DO need affiliate-friendly costumes that are appropriate for publication in our magazine. So, sexy-whatever? Prob not. But a link to costumes that turn you and your best friends into the entire cast of Hamilton? Yes! Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc, please. TIGHT DEADLINE! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Hearst Digital Newspapers: This one comes from Krystin Arneson and she needs your pitches by 5 pm TODAY. “Looking for plant experts, preferably those NOT associated with a brand**, who can tell me what plants millennials are obsessed with. I know a bit from experience because I've killed pretty much all of them at least once, but I need someone with more credibility to go on record here. This is for Hearst Digital Newspapers (national syndicate but I think def in SFGATE), and I am on a super-tight deadline of reaching out to people by EOD today (this was assigned Friday night and I go on vacation Wednesday, eeep).” krystinarneson@gmail.com
Forbes Global Properties: From Amanda Kass, “I'm working on an article about interior design in Palm Beach for Forbes Global Properties. If you rep an interior designer who has projects on the island (and yes, you can make fun of me for that super bougie remark) please let me know.” AmandaLauren212@gmail.com
