Notorious G.I.B. Speaks Purdy Little Snippets
Greetings and Salutations loyal Soo Now readers, G.I.B here. No spoof stories this time around. Stepping out of character this time to say that I am proud to have been entertaining you with my outrageous stories and over the top advertisements. “The Powers That Be” and myself meet regularly to brainstorm new ideas to help evolve this wonderful publication. A challenge has come forth that we are very exited to share. My stique is to have the readers laughing within a 3 minute time frame. This new challenge has me begging for your indulgence for a ‘smidge’ longer. I’m asking that you all join me in a journey. A journey into my newly developed story line. This time folks, G.I.B. gets to show you that it’s not always about joking and laughter. I will still be in character, but this project brings you into my mind of a dramatic story where emotions run high and the story is all business. Soon you’ll be introduced to Jasmine Purdy. A young engaging esthetician who befriends an older rich socialite who becomes intrigued by her. Upon meeting, Jasmine tells her of her hopes and dreams and the socialite decides to invest part of her wealth to help Jasmine fulfill them. Jasmine’s idea needs a team. It’s up to her to get this group of very different people to get on the same page or risk all the money invested, and it all goes up in smoke. Does the socialite lose her money? Who Stays? Who Gives Up? It’s up to Jasmine to make this work. No more hints loyal readers. Stayed tuned, you’re in for a whopper of a ride. In closing, I want to send a shout out to the person who changed my life and who has also been very influential on the development for this project. I’m forever grateful that I had met you.

Is Renata The Right Fit?

About Soo Now
Soo Now got started in July. I was provided with some encouragement to get started by a friend who believed in me and my skills/abilities. Soo Now started as an 8 page leaflet with a handful of businesses advertising with me. Since then, Soo Now has grown to a 28 page booklet. It's been an amazing journey thus far, meeting a plethora of talented and amazing people. I hope to continue this journey for a long time.
