When you are born and raised in Vilnius (Lithuania), a career in advertising and film is not the first thing that comes to mind;  it’s a small city in the Baltics with bags of energy and a lot of creative ideas, but not much opportunity to realize them.  People are starting to get a grip of what graphic design is, the concepts of contemporary Hollywood film are now being applied in Lithuanian cinema, and the government is starting to provide young people with various educational programs focusing on different types of intellectual property.

I am studying ‘Creative Industries’ which covers marketing, public relations, advertising, as well as the more practical subjects such as graphic design and film, and it is first of its kind in Lithuania. I decided to enroll after graduating high school as I was interested in the many different yet related subjects. In the first two years of university I participated in several film and advertising related projects, which only served to increase my interest in the field.

Perfect Liaisons, Southern Spain’s only platonic paid date service, is delighted to announce – they are now open for business. To celebrate their launch, all ladies who register online with Perfect Liaisons by Monday 11^th February, will be entered into a prize draw with a chance to win a dinner date with a “perfect liaison” on Valentine’s Day at a top restaurant in Puerto Banús, plus a complimentary bottle of champagne.

Perfect Liaisons, brings a brand new concept to the Costa del Sol by providing platonic paid male dates for sophisticated women looking for a plus-one for special occasions, corporate events, dinners or even a round of golf.  All “liaisons” are interviewed personally to ensure that they are all well-presented personable discreet gentlemen, aged from 30 years plus, who understand the importance of treating a lady like a VIP.

The idea of a paid date is already popular in the UK and the USA as an immediate solution to finding a date at short notice. Liaisons are usually chosen on the basis that they will be good company, as opposed to film star good looks.  Contrary to popular belief, ladies don’t hire a “liaison” to get noticed, it is more about avoiding the wrong type of attention, and of course having a good time.
