Lynette in a New York Minute:
"It's not a Junket, It's a Job"




The above video submission for "Best Job in the World" demonstrates what can be done in a New York minute with a strategy, minimal technology and guitar. More than a merely junket for a starlet blogger, the real task was this: how to make an obscure, sandy island downunder seem better than the Bahamas?
Watch for a cameo appearance of Aussie transplant Liam from the Tuck Shop NYC!
