covered in gold.

Over the course of the past few years Mel Gibson has but himself in compromising situations with the fault being his words. Whether its something too vulgar or offensive, he has shocked many of his fans and colleagues.

They’ve commented that Gibson had shown patterns of racism, sexism and anti-Semitism and called for a boycott of Gibson’s movies.

But in January of this year, according to Oksana Grigorieva, his longtime girlfriend and mother of their daughter; Gibson went further than words and became physical. After her allegations the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department launched a domestic violence investigation.

Oksana Grigorieva: Mel Gibson said he had ‘a dark side’

While in the midst of this investigation our Public Relations Firm finds that it is important to change the public’s opinion about our client Mr. Mel Gibson.

It is important for his future prospects as well as to this current investigation. If the judge can see that he’s changing, perhaps they will be more lenient.

It was our suggestion to have our client enter anger management, as well as counseling and educating him on effective ways to deal with his emotions. We plan on making this information known at the time of our press release.

Volunteering at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America is another way we plan to turn around the public’s view of our client, as well as other avenues to show that he his views shown through his words were a misunderstanding.

In closing, we realize all these measures in and of themselves may not be the cure of antidote to the solution but Mr. Gibson welcomes outside input how to make himself a better person. A person that his fans remember as the actor they knew and loved.
Professional Standards Advisories

That was a brief overview of the public relations campaign that is in the works. In order to be one step ahead of the media as well as individuals targeting our client, we must think of ways in which our campaign strategies could backfire.

Perhaps the media and the public see him entering anger management and counseling as admittance to the allegations of Grigorieva being true. Which could possibly make him look even more guilty in the eyes of the public.

There are many different strategies and measures that could be taken, but ultimately our public relations team must make the best possible avenues to ensure our client positive publicity and change the public’s view of him.

As a child did were you told the story of Alice and Wonderland? Were you aware that it was a depreciated version of an actual story? When I read The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor, I found there was so much more to the story.

The Looking Glass Wars Trilogy

The Looking Glass Wars is the first fictional novel of the trilogy by Frank Beddor, motivated by Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Frank Beddor explains that Lewis Carroll encountered a young Alyss and that his works were a distortion of the ‘true events’ which she experienced, and had later forgotten. The novel has many twists and turns on the original story.

Beddor uses anagrams to relate the characters from Carroll’s story to his “biography” of Wonderland. For instance, the white rabbit is actually Alyss’s (Alice’s) tutor, Bibwit Harte, and the Mad Hatter is actually a very agile, sober bodyguard named Hatter Madigan. Opposites of the characters we grew up knowing.

I came across the first book of the series on a summer day at Arundel Mills with my family. My mom’s more a frugal shopper so I’ve picked up the habit of walking directly to the clearance section.

When we entered Books-A-Million, I randomly came across The Looking Glass Wars for 70% off. I read the inside flap of the book and it seemed pretty interesting; I didn’t know then it would become one of my favorite and most influencing reads.

As soon as I had finished the first few chapters, I knew I’d have to make a trip to get the next book in the series. I’m a big reader, and NEEDED to purchase Seeing Red before I finished the first book.

The book really connected my childhood and newly found adulthood. It was a bedtime fairy tale shifted into a fantastical reality. Which is what life is. Alyss realizes that the fairy tale she thought her life was, was not reality, and that she needed to take care of her responsibilities. I could really relate to that, as a child you dream of lollipop and rainbows and over the course of your life that vision changes over time.

Although the novel gave me that underlying message, there is still just a great story. It may express the reality that is hidden, but at the same time still shows hope, and remembrance of the dreams of a child. Not to mention, a cliff hanging story line.

This series can be enjoyed by people of any age. After I finished the first book I gave it to my 12 year old sister to read; she’s just as addicted to books as I am. Once she finished it, she gave it to my mom. So by the time I purchased the last book of the series ArchEnemy, my sister was reading the second book and my mom was reading the first. It brought all of us a little closer together.
