Show #6-09 – January 21, 2007
 Hug A Writer Day
January has a complete dearth of public holidays but never fear! A savvy Toronto media company has created a brand-new international holiday on January 24th…Hug-A-Writer Day, backed up by a hilarious internet-based animated campaign.
 Miami Book Fair
The Miami Book Fair International has been touted as the biggest book fair in America. Situated at Miami Dade College, the street fair draws hundreds of thousands of book lovers every year. The Word This Week accepted the fortuitous assignment of traveling to the sunny beaches of Florida, where we were delighted by an eclectic assortment of writers, comedians, journalists, publishers, and two out of three musketeers!
 Page Three Girls
The UK tabloid press has that strange phenomenon of printing the news about politics, sports, crime and such things, alongside saucy pictures of beautiful women. Think of it what you will, but the Page Three Girls have made The Sun the biggest selling English-language newspaper in the world. Videographer LPB went to England to follow the trail from photo shoot to printed page.
 The Lingerie Handbook
Rebecca Apsan owns one of the most popular lingerie boutiques in New York City – La Petite Coquette. She is also the author of The Lingerie Handbook, a sassy manifesto for self-discovery and a guide to everything lingerie. Rebecca's aim is to bring out the inner flirt in women.
