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.
For that haircut, I will love Solange forever. Seriously, this sound stupid, but it is so incredible to see a young black celeb woman get rid of the weave and rock her own beautiful kinky natural hair without apology. It's really amazing, it makes me so happy.
Plus Solange's last album was pretty good, and in interviews I've seen she speaks her mind, and is completely herself and doesn't give a damn - she's sassy as hell. So yes, I definitely love her.
Oh, and I just read her Twitter page; two excerpts:
" Vagina Power! Pow!!!!"
and
"Do people want me to lie& act like I DONT have a vagina?Why does that word freak folk out, next time ill say it's closed seams down there."
Johnny Depp would be amazing in a Carol Channing biopic! Heck, he'd be amazing in a Stockard Channing biopic, or a Channing Tatum biopic, or even a Tatum O'Neal biopic! Sorry, I digress...he's just so versatile.
Okay, I really don't get it. Does Jon Gosselin have chocolate flavored semen? Does he write spontaneous poetry? Does he hum lullabies rather than snoring? Because honestly, he's an irresponsible nerd who's trying way way to hard to look cool, while abandoning 8 children that he exploited. I don't see what's melting all these ladies' panties away.
I think Paula is a much better fit for "So You Think You Can Dance?" than Idol. She was a dancer first and a singer second. It always puzzled me why she was on Idol in the first place.
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: There's always a guest third judge, who typically seems to be a choreographer. Though this week they added a fourth, ELLEN! It was awesome. And Mary Murphy is Paula Abdul to the hundredth power of crazy!

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

Right now, my love knows no bounds.
