ROTFLMAO.

(Warning - put down your milk lest it shoot out your nose.)

Courtesy of Ogilvy & Mather GmbH (via AdverGirl) comes this hilarious series of print ads for very, very opaque nylons.



Times like these, I *adore* the advertising industry.

Drum roll, please...

I HAVE JUST LANDED THE COOLEST JOB EVER!

No, really! I have!

If it were any cooler, my name would be Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik.

"But how can she say this?!", you ask?

Because all of my girl friends, gay friends and (metrosexual) guy friends are positively green with envy.

So, feel free to congratulate me... I'm the new Sr. Product Manager for a company called Glam.com.

Whats Glam? Celebrity gossip, uber-fun quizzes, fashion, beauty, shopping and trés chic technology - all wrapped up in one fabulous, glamorous website.

In love with words...

I'm head-over-heels in love with the writing style belonging to the new Times perfume reviewer. Lush, erotic, visceral & vivid, Chandler Burr uses words to describe scents the way Van Gogh used paints to describe a starry night...

Emotive, evocative sentences like "Pomegranate Noir is like a box of truffles with the lid on, sweet bits of darkness, waiting." and "this scent is like spraying a layer of twilight on your body." make me tremble with the pleasure of falling in love with words all over again... the kind of love that stirs the butterflies around in your belly.
