Over the period of the last year, the Upward Bound group that I was associated with back in high school planned and held a reunion; it had been over 40 years since I had seen some of these people. We had a great time remembering and toasting the 88 y/o director of the program who was in attendance at the affair.
Because I am the liveliest and most Tech-Savvy of this Sexagenarian group, I was the 'Media Coordinator' of the group handling the web presence, visual and musical presentations, and, the physical A/V equipment. Everything went smoothly
At the event, one of the members approached me to assist him with an event that he is producing. He was an "Okay" character back in 1971 so; I decided to listen to what he had to say. He is staging a "Modeling Contest" called 'Nati's Lingerie Party (https://www.facebook.com/events/814839161860196/) and, he wanted a web presence so that he can publicize a couple of books (http://www.amazon.com/Church-Pimps-Master-Pimp/dp/0964729873/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1407459939&sr=1-1&keywords=church+pimps) that he has written as well as promote the event.

Because he is trying to pull this off on a shoe-string budget, I suggested that he try the public social networks. I offered him one hour of my time per week, at a friendly rate to set him up, monitor his site and paid advertising campaign when he decided to advertise the event on Facebook

To say that my associate is "Computer Illiterate" is an understatement; my "customer / patron" is still stuck in the 1970's era of Pink Cadallics, White suites, and, "Pimping"; he is an embarrassment to his wife of 35 years. He wanted me to represent this era on his web presence. With a great deal of personal embarrassment, I did it. He used the web presence to produce this:

I apologize to humanity (but, couldn't pass up the money :) )!
