That indicates that consumers seem more willing to spend dollars on electronic products that other goods. The survey indicates sales will stay steady or increase for digital TVs and monitors, Blu-Ray players, smart phones and netbooks.

Jim Barry, the Digital Answer Man for the Consumer Electronic Assn. ( www.ce.org) says these trend-setting products could be best-sellers this winter:

Video: DXG Luxe HD Camcorders Take the Miss Universe Pageant by Storm…

Chic DXG Luxe HD Camcorders – the Official Video Camera of the 2009 Miss Universe Pageant.

Contestants having a blast filming around the Bahamas.

And the winner is…

… Stefania Fernandez of Venezuela! This was the first time back-to-back winners were from the same country. She is a remarkable woman and we wish her the best of luck as Miss Universe 2009.

I had the unique experience of having a picture with Ms. Fernandez after winning her crown (which she dropped after having it placed on her head, woops.). She was very pleased to receive one each of the DXG Luxe Collection camcorders as a part of her prize package.

I also met and had pictures taken with Mr. Donald Trump. (I’ll post pictures as soon as I’m back.) The Donald’s comment was: “Great looking cameras! My staff members love them.” Very exciting!

I spoke one last time with Ms. Dayana Mendoza, Miss Universe 2008, who had some very nice things to say about the DXG Luxe Collection: “So nice looking and easy to use.” Muchas gracias!

The Coronation Ball was terrific! Fireworks, fantastic food, music and a great venue. Beautiful people with lots of DXG camcorders to record their memories. A great time all the way around.

Well, its 2am and I have to catch an early flight get back to LA. I have a lot to follow up on after my weekend at the Miss Universe Pageant.

What an incredible trip!
