Show the CEO some old, and still current (31 years and running) Black Velvet ads for, what else, Black Velvet (Scotch?). Always used to be Heavenly beautiful blond women in the ads, but as of late, they have also used Brunettes. The background was always dark, the blond model wearing Black Velvet really stood out and a bottle of the liquor in the lower right corner. I think the slogan was "Smooth as Velvet" A very classy ad campaign that has stood the test of time, much like the Scotch. At least I think it was/is Scotch. Anyway, your CEO, or "She who must be obeyed" as known in other circles may reconsider her Executive Directive. Good luck! If that is what you really want. Wm. R.

I mentioned in a previous post that we might change our '58 LeBaron Southampton's name to something a little more civilized like Black Velvet or some other similarly mushy icky sweet name. Well the CEO has officially imposed her veto upon the idea. So officially her (The Imperial) name shall forever remain The Black Bitc_!!. The Black Velvet idea was more related to the song than to a material to make slinky dresses out of, but that did not dissuade her from her opinion.
