    Thumbs up Could sell ice cubes to eskimos?

    lets face it, one personality trait that develops the most during hustling and dancing is your power of persuasion. whats an impossible situation you talked yourself out of [or into] in the past ?

    - i convinced a famous storyboard artist who lectured at my school [currently doing conceptiual work for world china expo and did star wars and red planet] to give me an internship. not only did he teach me to draw imaginatively and in perspective, he bought me coffee and cooked me italian food every session.

    -countless encounters with bus ticket inspectiors without receiving a fine.

    -being on the door for the sydney 30 seconds to mars concert for free, still cant believe i didnt go


    what about you? i want some stories, laydeez

    My mom could sell ice to Eskimos. I'm good, but probably not as good as her. I have got lots of stuff free/heavily discounted in my days though, literally thousands of dollars off items. The most I ever got discounted for a single item was $45K - no it wasn't a house. I got a necklace that should have been $800 for free... direct from the designer.

    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    Recently, I got $100 at a bar for just talking to a guy for appx 10 min.

    Two tickets to a rock concert at the Black Sheep-I took my hubby lol

    Free upgrade to first class on Continental Airlines on a two-hour flight.

    Two extra nights at a hotel room in New Orleans at half-price for my my family and my mom and her friend. This one, though, I also have to give some credit to my Mom. Between us, we could probably get almost anything discounted or free! lol

    So far, those are the biggest ones. I got little ones, like free biscottis at starbucks, free drink sfor my daughter from Seattles Best, free toys for my daughter from various places, and an A on some math assignements at college, etc.
