adspiration

I love well thought out advertising and innovative marketing. There's something so inspiring and creative about them- whether they be smart or sporty car ads (like this Ford commercial that I saw today), beautiful perfume ads, great beauty ads, funny beer ads or even something a bit more mundane as supermarket advertising.

the celebrity solution

It seems like the standard celebrity solution, the one-size-fits-all solution, to all problems is that when in doubt, go sue the other party. This time, it's Paris Hilton suing celeb photog Bingo Rimér because some of his film footage, from his time spent in her house, has somehow found its way into the new Treadstone single 'Six Feet Under'. I'm not saying it's either wrong or right, but rather that this news reporting gets tiring. 'Such-and-such-famous-person sues whoever', 'Some-other-famous-person files a lawsuit against another-somebody'. Sigh.

Bet you the Swedish band is loving the free publicity though!I expect the number of views for their MV to skyrocket as more people find out about this.

Beautiful bags and boxes further entrench my love for shopping. For example, Lane Crawford shopping beats David Jones any day, if for nothing other than the lovely stiff cardboard carry bags you get. The ones from DJs are flimsy nothings, even if they have now re-enforced the handles so it doesn't get completely mutilated as soon as you pick them up.
