bamboozled lately?

with the NY fashion week well on its way (or maybe it's over...I dunno, it's still on TV), I think it's important for me to reiterate that it is crucial for one to be be completely honest with themselves....especially,  concerning what you choose to wear. Featured below is the fall...no spring....no...fall collection of Thom Brown. 

 im no fashion guru....but I think I speak a relative truth, when I say collections like these, are not to be worn in public. Consider this a fpsa (fashion public service announcement). You see...designers have complete creative license when it comes to their work. The only thing holding them back, is their potential demographic. Unlike us poor ad agency creatives, they don't have an ever looming CD (unless you are designing for like Calvin Klein). With that said...not all ideas they have are good. There is no one to pull in the reigns. And the result....in this case....man dresses and translucent man evening gowns.  

And I use to do a little modeling. And the thing is, these poor male models go to the show....not knowing what the hell the designer has up his sleeve. They have no say. And...they are getting paid to look a fool (especially the poor dude in the last picture). You my friend, are not.  

So I guess what I am trying to say is... be mindful (sensible) people. Americans have a long history of being gullible...especially when it comes to "creative" apparatuses. I mean....that's how I make my living. Don't get bamboozled. 

Quick question...we, as a country, are still calling these uniform pieces of fabric wrapped under the waist, skirts right? Or did I miss a cultural fashion revolution?

UPDATE: I just thought about it....who sits around the office and gets this bright idea?...hey, you know what they dont do enough of....skirts for men. Big obnoxious skirts for men.

great ads.

I love this. I don't care what anyone thinks....this is an awesome spot. It's so clever. I mean...I'm still not into the concept of men using body wash or Axe....but hey, I'm a little jaded.

UPDATE: I was gonna try to post this all nonchalantly...but really, my head just exploded. This could change the face of print ads as we know it (insert dramatic music here).

the "L" in LHC.

hey!

are we all aware that people in Switzerland are trying to recreate the big bang? With a machine thingy called a Large Hadron Collider (LHC). 

A friend of mine mentioned it to me yesterday, and i immediately told her to adjust her thick black framed glasses and tighten her two pony tails. But upon further research....I am beginning to think they should reconsider the "L" in LHC. 

I mean what is an LHC? (...set up...)

Wiki said that an LHC  is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons charged with approximately 7 TeV of energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will produce the Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model, and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.

.....ummm, Unicorns?

If Higgs Boson means "god's particle" then I must weigh in. Im no scientist (thoguh I use to be really good at physics in high school-i was also smarter then)...but if the big bang theoretically led to the creation of the earth after the big explosion part.....wouldn't having an earth already and doing it...all over again, be a bad thing? Similar to say....this.

I think the Swiss shouldv'e asked our opinion (at least mine) before searching for God's particle. We should at least consult....ummm, lets say god. Just send him a text or something. Then again...if it takes us back in time, I guess that's pretty cool. In the long run...I guess we could always bet a hundred bucks on it and see what happens.

ummmmm...lets talk about the Lingerie Football League. Affectionately known as the LFL.

ummmmm, seriously though....I must not have any real friends. To let magic like this occur for 6 times previous to my knowledge is a crime against humanity. To not be aware of scantly clad women throwing around some pigskin and knockin the sh*t out of each other under team names such as the "Dallas Desire", the "Miami Caliente" and my personal favorite, the "New England Euphoria" should be punishable by death. Excuse me while I check out the defensive line.

UPDATE: Something is fishy. There is no real info on the site. Damn it. I think I've been bamboozled. But I'll keep this post up on the off chance that this is real (hope and change).

i've been holding onto this gem of a video for awhile. I have not yet been able to smoothly insert into a post. So here it is...no cushion, no back story....for your enjoyment. Or just to freak you out.

Im not sure what this is called in the south. But in my hood this is called racism.

fashion ads don't try hard enough.

(execution 2, execution 3)

Meltin Pot is like a clothing line or something. I really like the visual in the ad above. It says fantasy/dreamy and hard real life mixed all in one. The tag "I dream, I am" is less confusing than "I have a dream", but I still don't really get how these lines add to anything. I especially dont get execution 3, its like the team was like....I cant think of another one...lets just talk about sex. Jeans and sex.

I kinda want the print of the one above though.
