April 2004


   From Anthony Napoli:      Happy Easter!
April is the foolest month of all! NYC is blooming with tulips at Central Parks's Conservatory Gardens, the Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue, NY Auto Show at Javits Center and the final flurry of Broadway Shows to open before the Tony Award deadlines. So stop fooling around, put on your Sunday clothes and don your Easter Hat. -- Anthony Napoli

Briggs is delighted to offer "Queer Eye for the Straight Car Dealer Tour". The winning incentive male winners are taken out by the Fab Five for makeovers and fashion consultations. Imagine the surprise of their spouses when they show up at the gala buffed and shined and gaily attired.

Another exciting tour is "The Apprentice", an interactive experience where your guests are divided into groups for a challenging scavenger hunt. The winning team is rewarded and the losing team is "fired". It's a great fun way to downsize your company, reward the winners and can the losers. And by the way, Tony trumped the Donald when he turned him down to be on his show.
