Thanks Angela Stalcup, Atlanta Leader, Ladies Who Launch, for sharing your story about how the “I Wonder Game” video inspired action after action which lead to media coverage!

Angela’s story…

Actually, I played the I Wonder Game and got in the Sunday AJC on Memorial Day weekend.

The day you posted the video link on your Facebook status (May 5: I remember because Cinco De Mayo is significant in the story), I decided to play the game for the entire day. Every FB status I posted involved, I Wonder…. I had an Incubator Workshop that morning and some meetings in the afternoon and didn’t get home until 6pm or so. Around 7:30pm I realized that it was Cinco de Mayo and that I might like a marguerita and chips, but I didn’t want to go alone. So, I used “I Wonder” and posted to Facebook: I wonder what exciting adventure might be had if I went out for Cinco de Mayo alone?

As soon as I posted it I saw that one of my friends was hanging out at a restaurant not too far from me, so I asked to join her. As it turns out, she works in PR and knew about a PR opportunity regarding women and our relationships with our bathing suit. I know her through LWL, and she had heard me tell the story about my decision last summer to buy a two-piece bathing suit, wear it to my community pool party, and post a picture of self in said suit on my website. She suggested that I submit the story. Because I was in the “I Wonder” mode, I submitted the story. Not only did the reporter interview me, she asked to print my bikini pic in the paper. (The online version of the article doesn’t have the picture, but you can get a link to the article on my blog and see the picture here: http://curvylife.com/2009/05/24/facing-down-the-bikini/ ) This is my first, real piece of media coverage on my blog, so it’s very exciting.

And it all started with the I Wonder Game. I shared this story at the last LINC Up!, and had everyone play the game for the duration of the event.

And that’s the story, Angela

Best,

Angela

Isn't that amazing!
