In Case You Missed It, Calvin Klein Superbowl Ad – Concept by Calvin Klein

I swear this had was the most hilarious Superbowl I have watched in recent years. Despite Samsung’s desperate attempt to annoy us to all hell with their ad for the NEW SAMSUNG NOTE II (yeah, we got it, screw you guys), the Superbowl, the Super Beyonce blackout and almost win for the 49ers were awesome. Of course all my chili cheese dogs, queso dip topped with beer were stopped in their tracks and became guilt because of one little advertisement.

The Calvin Klein Concept advertisement with Matthew Terry. Muscles, Abs…..more abs and underwear I wanted to remove. I wanted to hit the gym, drop my Corona, and do my TV screen. Really a damn shame they only ran this once. But that is why I am here to show you the goods.

Good job to the Sales/Marketing department on this one. You guys UBER win. Oh and so does Matt Terry for showing us how it’s done. Watch Below;

Progress on the Fashion Front – Vogue Thailand Hires it’s First Male Editor-in-Chief

Vogue. Addiction. The bible. However you want to label it, it’s name alone comes with a hefty reputation.

I am pleased to see that Vogue Thailand is living up to that rep, by hiring the first male Editor-in-Chief, Kullawit Laosuksri. First male editor for Vogue, ever. In the world.

Kullawit

Starting things off with a bang Kullawit decided commission Phillip Treacy, extraordinary haberdasher to the fashion elite (oh and the Gaga) to help him with the cover. According to Nation’s interview with the pint-sized super editor;

For the Thai edition, we also want to present Thai women’s cheerful attitude and lifestyle. For the first issue we wanted a chada [the traditional tall coronet], which is internationally recognised and has a sophisticated design. We searched the archives of the master of the craft, Chakrabhan Posayakrit, and then asked Phillip Treacy, a world-renowned maker of headdresses, to create a chada we could display on our cover.

Bravo! excellent start. Unfortunately Thai Vogue is working with the smallest budget out of all the Vogue magazine’s in the world. If this is what Vogue Thai is starting at the gate with I may have to pick up an issue to support. I do have faith that the smallest are the fiercest and can make something out of nothing. Cough…I speak from experience.

Here is hoping that Kullawit is knowledgeable and ambidextrous as an editor. Also that there are some damn good advertisers. Vogue lives off that money!

Facebook Plans to turn into Myspace. Adding Video Adverts to YOUR Timeline in 2013#hellno #FAIL

Facebook Logo 15

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah Facebook. It’s the worlds worst catch 22.

Your effed if you don’t have it; People now use it for celebs, deals, contests, promotion and establishing social existence. Meeting others in an overpopulated world. Keeping tabs on your SO (significant other). Staying in touch long distance. Meeting new business contacts.

Your are effed if you do have it; Unmanageable, trite, childish, your mom’s on it, time waster. Relationship killer and an easy way to get fired. Fake accounts, spam bots and now, video ads in your timeline in 2013.

What the hell Zuckerberg? Yes it’s true. According to our lovely geeks at Wired.com;

Facebook plans to unveil 15-second video ads by April within both mobile and desktop news feeds, several advertising executives tell Ad Age. The ads will start playing automatically, according to two of the executives, and Facebook has reportedly not decided whether to mute audio from the ads.

Ad Age reports that the commercials will even expand beyond the middle web page section that normally contains the news feed, taking over the left and right rails of the page as well.

Facebook declined to comment.

Thank you Mark Zuckerberg for continually turning this into Friendster/Myspace. Soon everyone will be canceling accounts and officially ‘quitting this shit’. Including me. Facebook’s site is starting to look like AOL in the 90s. Oh the emoticons, nice touch. That killed it.

In the meantime we suffer well. What do you think of recent Facebook changes?

Romeo Beckham Does Burberry – Editorial Video

Tis the season for Fashion Editorial video’s and our Fashion House today is Burberry. Stylish, classic chic with an amazing brand image. Who doesn’t think about that perfect plaid when Burberry is mentioned?

It also makes me think of trench’s and English tea. And how Victoria Beckham was banned from wearing Burberry a few years ago because it was ‘trashy, not classy’ on her.

Well payback is a bitch and we love it. The best revenge is living well and having gorgeous children. Right Victoria?

Not only did Victoria turn her life around BUT she married David Beckham and had kids.

Cute ones. So cute…..Romeo Beckham is now working as a model. And he just got his first job. Working FOR Burberry.

I love irony. It’s just wicked and funny. Also makes for great blogging!

All things said and done, Burberry and the Beckham’s mended things and are working together. So glad the Big B and the Big V aren’t in a bitch fight anymore.

Here are the shots Mario Testino took of the wee cheeky monkey thanks to GraziaDay.co.uk;

Kardashian Krisis for Khroma Beauty

the-kardashian-sisters-for-khroma-beauty

Welcome to Khroma Beauty selling in a Sears near you.

As the Kardashians work on a business empire, their newest venture is into the beauty. It’s called Khroma. You too can look like an orange, plastic tart if you buy this. If it stays on he market.

Unfortunately the triple K sisters are in legal trouble for the second time with Khroma Beauty for the SECOND time in 3 months. This time they have a copyright infringement to deal with. A company called ‘Kroma’ run by Lee Tillett Inc., is saying they need to change their name because it is WAY too similar.

kroma

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT?!! The Kardashian’s are rip off artists?! Seem’s Hollywood and the Kardashians are OUT of idea’s.

My guess? I bet they make it go away with some nice cold, hard cash. Control freak and momager Kris will step in and make it right. Khroma is already selling online and these sell out’s have to get paid. What a shame. I kind of like Lee Tillet, Inc.’s beauty line.

As they say, only the good die young. That goes for business too.

Balenciaga Helm/Head Designer, Who Has It?

It has been a month since the handsome and talented Nicolas Ghesquiere stepped down as the head of Balenciaga. New prospects are finally opening up for Balenciaga and it seem’s our darling, and always cheery Alexander Wang may be the top prospect for head Designer.

With years of design experience with his own line and a fresh very modern look to his clothing I approve. Wang is known to be innovative and unique. With fashion houses being helmed with designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Vivienne Westwood, Betsey Johnson and Gareth Pugh you must become a celebrity as well as an entrepreneur in the 21st century.

Here’s hoping he get’s the job. We need fresh talent to keep fashion interesting!

Chris Brown Get’s Signed to Wilhelmina Models? #badjoke

Controversial, thug, violent, actor, producer, chart topper, rapper, singer.

Love him or hate him Chris Brown has captured our attention for years. His mommy calls him an ‘Angel’ and the bloggers call him the devil.

Despite antics like busting a window and ‘Good Morning’ and Rhianna’s face, Chris Browns public has stuck by him. His career is not only powerful but so is his presence. Now Chris Brown has managed to top it all off by becoming a fashion/modeling icon. Wilhelmina Models, based out of NYC, has signed Chris Brown.

What the what?!! Admittedly the man has great body art and works out, but I will not be blinded by his pretty pectoral muscles. His actions over the years make him straight thug.

So why him and why his face? According to WWD;

Taylor Hendrich, director of Wilhelmina’s men’s division, told WWD, “Chris Brown is a… multifaceted artist with a unique take on style, and we are excited to translate and extend his brand.”

Translated from Marketing/PR speak that means, he is worth a lot of money.

I can see that. He has also emerged as quite a brand leader and is ‘sort of’ cleaning up his act. The 2009 incidence with Rhianna is in the past and Chiris Brown has been acting and Producing since 2001. With gold records and an entertainment career, this is the right move fiscally to build a small empire. ( I can hear Kanye having a fish sticks fit over this as we speak.)

I hope Wilhelmina knows what they are doing. They need to bring out the suave in CB and make him shine. If anyone can make Chris Brown into a gentlemen, Wilhelmina models can.

How do you feel about Chris Brown’s move into modeling/fashion? Is it right for him? Or should he stay on the music path?

Is Your Prius a POS? 2.77 Million Toyota Vehicles RECALLED

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How many times have I yelled at Prius drivers in West Hollywood for driving like asses, parking in two spots and making a left turn from the far right lane? Countless. How happy am I that I may have had good reason to be screaming in my AUDI? Never Ending Joy doesn’t cover it.

Toyota, Japan’s number one auto maker, has recalled 2.77 Million of their Toyota Corolla & Prius model’s due to fault’ int the steering and water-pump systems.

Bloomberg Business Week spoke with a Representative in Japan who told them;

The Prius hybrid and Corolla compact sedans are among the 14 models subject to inspection and repair, Naoto Fuse, a spokesman for the Toyota City, Japan-based company, said by phone today. The carmaker will recall 1.52 million vehicles in Japan and 1.25 million vehicles overseas, including 670,000 Prius vehicles in the U.S.

That’s a lot of Prius and Corolla’s being pulled off the road. Time to get shopping for a new car commuters. Turns out your status symbol/commuter car isn’t as reliable as you thought.

Don’t cry West Hollywood. There are tons of hybrids out there. You just never looked. Or you could get savvy and take public transport (no, not that!). But….nobody walks in LA.

What will you do if they have to recall your car?

In the meantime enjoy this song inspired by the recall.

American Apparel Get’s Even More Tasteless with ‘SandySale’

American Apparel may be made in the good ole USA but that is about all they have going for them. Between their tasteless ‘teen porn’ advertisements and their constant lawsuits for sweatshop standards they are asking for a smack down.

While over 7 million suffer on the East Coast without power, and some without clean water American Apparel decide to start a ‘Sandy Sale’.

According to ABCNEWS;

Late Monday evening, American Apparel offered a “Sandy Sale” to customers who reside in states that were affected by the hurricane, including Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland.

Broadcast on the website was a message reading, “In case you’re bored during the storm, 20 percent off everything for the next 36 hours.”

Wow, Tasteless much.

People across the US (including myself) are calling, emailing, texting our relatives and friends, desperate for news of their safety. There was a fire that claimed 80 homes in Queens and storm that killed 16-18 people in NYC alone. And they use hurricane Sandy for an advertising campaign?

Good job American Apparel. I don’t think anyone back East is bored enough to buy your clothing. Chalk this up to another case of bad taste.

If you want to really help, there are funds being set up to help flood victims. Donate here.

Disney Buys Lucasfilm for 4.4 BILLION Dollars, #BeAfraid

Yes it really happened and yeas that is a real number. Mega business conglomerate Disney (known as Mauschwitz in SoCal) bought the infamous Lucasfilm Ltd. for almost 4.5 BILLION dollars, including shares.

According to ComingSoon.net;

Under the terms of the agreement and based on the closing price of Disney stock on October 26, 2012, the transaction value is $4.05 billion, with Disney paying approximately half of the consideration in cash and issuing approximately 40 million shares at closing. The final consideration will be subject to customary post-closing balance sheet adjustments.

No joke. It seems this merger is taking Princess Leia, Luke and Jar Jar please-stfu-Binks to a whole new level of wrong.

Why do I say wrong? Because Lucasfilm has agreed to deliver Star Wars 7 in 2015! Oh yes. Oh no. Not quite sure what to think here. It could be balls out amazing, especially in the graphics department if Disney is helping produce this.

What do we say, yay or nay? Give us your opinion below.

Charlie Sheen Thinks Lindsay Lohan is a Mess…..and He’s Right! #ScaryMovie5 Drama

When will Lohan learn to bring forth her wizardry and tiger’s blood? It better be soon because even Charlie Sheen is shaking his head at this mess.
Recently Lohan was hired to shoot ‘Scary Movie 5’. However although shooting has begun Lohan has been absent with ‘walking pneumonia’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Really Lohan? Only if walking pneumonia means meth addiction hunny.

She claims she wasn’t in the script for the scene they were shooting. Seem’s that Lohan has been absentee from the beginning and wouldn’t participate in anything.

“Lindsay missed every meeting she had for the film, including script reads and wardrobe meetings. Then she missed her flight to Atlanta on Sunday to shoot the movie. The producers had been getting signs Friday that she was a mess, and would not be fit to work. She is under contract — so to get out of it, she had to prove that she was sick. She tried to prove she has walking pneumonia. She’s been locked up in her room at the Bowery Hotel. She’s been in a tailspin. Even Charlie Sheen worried she might not be able to do the scene.”

Lohan my dear you have a REAL problem. Like heading for dead problem. If Charlie Sheen is worried you know it’s bad.

Seems’ also there is a scene where she and Tiger Blood (Sheen) kiss and she refuses to do that as well. I hate to be the one to cue her into reality but Charlie Sheen sans his fake teeth look better than she does right now.

I say they should just shoot it as a reality show and call it ‘Scary Movie 5 – the Sheen/Lohan saga’.

I’d watch it.
