def loving that action in the DOW
in recognition of President Obama’s speech today. let’s all commit to peace & empathy in 2009.
pretty dope. i’m a big fan of the white house cos (pictured in the center). he used to want to be a ballet dancer, very interesting. this picture comes from vanity fair’s feature on clinton/obama staffers.
heidi slimane recently photographed lindsay lohan. she’s pretty dope.
according to gawker…
“The “Dating a Banker Anonymous” girls, who quickly became America’s least favorite gold diggers when the NYT profiled them last month, now say that they were just playing around! But this doesn’t absolve them, no: The Times ran this correction today: An article on Jan. 28 about women who commiserated over dating Wall Street bankers caught in the financial crisis described a group they had formed, Dating a Banker Anonymous, as a support group. That is the name of their blog. Its creators originally told The Times that about 30 women had participated, but since publication, they have said that all involved were friends. Laney Crowell, one of the women who started the blog, said in the article that it was “very tongue in cheek;” she has since described it as a satire that embellishes true experiences for effect. Had the nature of the blog been made clear at the outset, the article would have described it accordingly, not as a support group.”

art by Christian Faur. a face out of crayons, infinitely awesome. crayola should be proud.
now this is how you market a product to a younger demo. the ad has nothing to do with the drink, but it doesn’t matter. it touches on everything it is to be young, soon-to-be affluent and in vogue. american apparel tee-shirts and ray-bans—what’s more all american summer circa 2009 than that? good strat by this seemingly new company. i’m sure a celeb or two will drink guru in a picture just to be seen hip. from there it’s onto the set of gossip girl and not too far from pop culture stardom.
of course this brand strategy can only be taken on by a company that’s relatively indie, not worried about the image of any other holdings within the company and has a non-existent standards & practices department. which is exactly why big brands fear the internet, this small company doesn’t need a $500k ad on a :30 tv spot, all they need is a kick-ass video and linkage on a major blog. which they got.
i’m outtie, off to buy some guru so i can be one of the cool kids.
great, great video simply explaining how we got into this credit crisis (and recession)
lumberbeard @yayyayeveryday is right..”[harrington] is slaying the art world right now.”
