    Lots of activity at the BMC this Labor Day. We had many local members close up their homes for the summer and drop off their toys rather than park them in ding-a-thon "bumper car" style parking garages in Manhattan.

    Our one page spread in Hamptons Magazine caused the picnic tables to filled to capacity as we played reggae and watched the sun set over the Hayground School soccer fields every evening.

    From 8-9 am on Sunday we had detailing lessons for those members who still like to do it themselves.

    A free BMC hat or Ladies Vintage Rock Tee goes to whoever can identify the glam cable TV star who checked out the BMC office.

    One that would probably mind having pics of her taken by a security camera posted on the internet?

    Nope. She was fully aware the pics would be available on the internet.

    Rob,
    I mean no offense to you at all. I'm simply remembering this thread: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25574
    If she knew, that's a ok. I'd just be a little careful about posting pictures of people using your facility without disclaimers that they knew their pics were being taken, because on its face it seems kind of unprofessional. If I were considering using the facility, I wouldn't be too thrilled by seeing these posts, that's all. It's absolutely none of my business, just trying to help.

    Oh, and I have no idea who she is. :)

    We are not fools. Every picture that is posted is a member or a spouse of a member and they are all informed that the live cams are available on the internet.They are great supporters of our facility.

    There are also numerous members who prefer anonymity which we respect despite the fact that public knowledge of their membership would help our businesss.

    I'm a bit suspicious.

    Why didn't you ask to take a pic of her that might be identifiable; instead of posting a security cam pic.??

    It could be my aunt Minny for all I know!

    I think you're making a big mistake posting pictures like these, as they appear to be 'voyeuristic'.

    If you're not doing it, have these people sign releases before you post their candid pics., it might be the only way to protect yourself from a lawsuit.

    Just my 2c, I may be completely wrong.

    This doesn't seem to be going the way you planned it I think. I guess Paris, she seems to be used to this stuff.

    Seriously though. As a person who just stumbled across this post, the cam pics don't really seem very professional. I would just not use this marketing ploy anymore.
    My 2 cents. Now some more high quality pics of the inside and inventory would look real good.

    We will try to get better pics from cameras as opposed to our security cameras. People are thrilled with the live internet feed and people who the pics seem much more concerned than the folks who are being photographed.

    Rest assured no ones photo get used without their permission and understanding. BMC is a fun place and people really enjoy their time there and their association with the club. They also love helping to promote the facility.

    If you are a member and don't want to be included in our coverage you will not be.

    Labor Day in The Hamptons...reminds me of "The Flamingo Kid" movie with Matt Dillon and a dreamy Janet Jones (my guess for the vid-clip babe, but probably off by 20 years or so)...

    I spoke to her and she is very offended that no one has recognized her.

    She hosts a show on cable and is not an actress. I will leave it at that.

    Best.

    Well the live web feed for members is an outstanding feature of you services, don't get me wrong. I would like that too. But the mystery pics thing is what I was referring to.

    wrong. wrong. wrong. She is offended that no one recognizes her but she should not be, she just is not that big despite the fact she wears big glasses to avoid autograph seekers which happens quite rarely.

    We have more women visit our facility than men. Why? I don't know.
    I amazed by it and so are the fchatters, so they love the pics. And in the office out visitors can see feeds from all the cameras including the ones on them at the time. These are not hidden cameras. It is part of the attraction.

    I used to date a girl that did Infomercials for Time Warner's local outlet.......she was very famous, for about a 100 mile radius.

    And to the folks in the duplex unit, next door...........

    I think your visitor has about that level of fame........

    FWIW, the pics aren't exactly high quality, and she has her hand in front of her face in one of them.

    I have no idea who she is, no offense intended.

    Yeesh. She should be humbled, not offended.

    If she want to avoid hordes of autograph seekers, she can come to San Diego.
    Nobody here knows who she is.
