Who says the stars don't shine in San Francisco?
Tru, the city's hippest day spa, and the stylish W San Francisco boutique hotel are the exclusive spa and hotel gift partners for NBC's 2004 fall network image campaign.
Each year, networks produce image campaigns to promote the new fall lineup to its affiliates.
For the second year, NBC's On-Air Advertising and Promotion department, known as The NBC Agency, gave gift baskets to the actors as a token of their appreciation.
All the actors, such as long-time Friends' favorite and star of the new sitcom Joey, Matt LeBlanc, and Will & Grace's stylish funny girl Debra Messing, received the gift baskets during the August promotional shoot.
In addition to Tru and the W Hotel, other gifts, such as Fresh candles and body products and DSO Eyewear were included in the gift baskets.
Levi Strauss & Co., a San Francisco icon, contributed a wide range of styles of Levi's? jeans to the gift baskets.
The participating gift partner companies donated all the items. Producer David Landau comments on the idea and the success of the gift baskets. "While the life of actors is glamorous, we often forget about the grueling production schedules that they undertake each season.
A spa and hotel gift seems the perfect way to extend our appreciation to the actors," said Landau, an Emmy-winning producer going into his seventh consecutive NBC image campaign.
"San Francisco is a cosmopolitan city and an easy weekend getaway for many of our actors who live in Southern California.
We chose Tru for its unique spa treatments and modern design, and the W Hotel for its exceptional service and chic style.""Since Tru's opening in July 2003, the spa has been well-received in San Francisco.
Tru has filled a niche in this vibrant and stylish city of providing exceptional spa treatments in a fresh and contemporary environment," said Tru's owner and founder Craig Fossella.
"We are honored to have been selected as a gift partner for NBC's Mondo shoot and believe that the actors will enjoy the Tru spa experience that so many San Franciscans already have embraced." Tru is located at 750 Kearney Street in San Francisco's financial district.
W San Francisco is located at 181 Third Street in the city's SoMa district.

When she asked her doctor she was told to exercise. It was the best answer to chemo weight-gain. This wasn't what she wanted to hear. She didn't feel like exercising. Some days it was all she could do to move from bed to couch.Then a friend told her about a neighbor who was going through chemo as if it was a Sunday school picnic.
She continued shopping, visiting friends AND EXERCISING. Claimed it had to do with taking some simple sugars called glyconutritionals. "Sounds like one of those whiz-bang miracle things, if you ask me," Patsy replied. "You see them advertised all the time and most of them don't have a stitch of healing in them." Her friend nodded, "I agree, except glyconutritional is a scientific name not a brand name. And my...

Sell Your Bu** Off
Sell Your Butt Off================================================ On a recent television show "Girls Behaving Badly" a bewildered
public was caught on tape staring at the backsides of 4 women who were "fighting back" at those men who allow their pants to fall below their butt and show the famous "dent".
These 4 women paraded their behinds (their end results) around the streets of New York City. These ladies bent over provacatively to pick up imaginary dimes from the sidewalk.
The ladies did a slow roll downward to get a newspaper from a machine.
Exposing their butt thonged cheeks was the main goal of the exercise.
The reaction from onlookers ranged from outrage( mostly ladies)to sly smiles of amusement, smirks, and quick furtive glances from the men.
Ninety-eight percent of the people who glanced, snickered, or made comments about these ladies' exposed butts lookedfor 20 seconds or more. Commercials on TV don't get this...
