it's easy to say that the peoples' campaign was inspired by mad men, but plenty of photo shoots that lionize that style period pre-date the show. the brad & angelina photo spread for "w" is a good example.
It may be the queerest of the queer, but this campaign isn't garbage. I still get happy feet when I see everything illuminated like this. Just a (hob)bit.
@cailizma: I think they're great for basics if you fit their archetype, but their menswear runs incredibly short (Target's does as well from time to time, but not consistently like Gap), which has stopped me from shopping there. Having said that, I love their holiday ads for being cheerful and benign, and their choice of nonthreatening and unsexualized spokesmodels is a boon for those of us who don't like to be intimidated by models (the year they had Liz Phair dressed down in cardigans and sensible skirts after her Avril Lavigne-esque sexualized "girl" downfall a few years prior I nearly died).
It'll be neat to see the company get "more modern" though.
I think Elijah looks fantastic in the ad. I don't know what it is about him, but he rocks that nerdy/yuppie thing so well. Also, I don't really get Man Men from it at all.
@Penny: Good question. But I'm also pretty excited--Gap advertising is ok, and it's consistent, but Crispin is a creative in a way that blows my mind at times. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the account.
I kind of want to see the proposal. Because of Sandra Bullock. And Betty White. Even though the plot looks cheesy.
I definitely want to see Away We Go. John Krasinski looking scruffy and impregnating Maya Rudolph, under the direction of Sam Mendes? Where do I sign up?
When are we going to de-stigmatize herpes? Yes, it sucks, it affects the body in some pretty bad ways, especially in pregnancy, but a rather large portion of the population has it, so really.
It's not only for sluts and meth addicts - my husband and I are both well-educated, decent people and I got it from my (ex)fiance; my husband, from his (ex)wife.
@gerbilsoutofexile...is cheap and easy: agreed. it's totally slut-shaming, when in fact you can get from a trusted, monogamous partner. i had a friend that realized she had it after a 10 month dry spell - it had simply been dormant for that lon. so if she had started a new relationship during that time, she never would have known...
It's disappointing that the director of Gwyneth's film shared that little anecdote. Whatever one thinks of Gwyneth, it just seems like a personal moment that should have stayed private. And to also have The Sun then publish a still from the topless moment in the film and ask readers to judge for themselves...the whole thing is just creepy.

I'm still too fat for Uniqlo clothes though, curse them.
