Some of you may know that I like to enjoy my attic as if it were a sauna (it's hot enough). I can usually use my tablet for about a half hour before it gets too hot to think (it, not me- I thrive in my sweat box, just don't ask me math). I've been… Continue reading Things I have missed because I haven’t had time to sit in my attic

An unfortunately true woman’s ad about women’s ads
Time for a mid-month funny. And this is why I don't have cable or watch TV during the day (well besides the fact that I work). Every other ad looks like this:
If Disney Saw This They’d Freak
So I thought I'd share. In the market in Cusco, Ariel and Colette were just hanging out. La Chinita either means little Chinese girl or girl with almond eyes. Seeing that the menu doesn't have Chinese food and Ariel's eyes are blue, I guess they're going off the idea that her eyes are shaped like… Continue reading If Disney Saw This They’d Freak
Old timey ads with scary consequences
In honor of the fact that Halloween and its advertisements are already upon us in Orlando (yes, next week I'll probably do this in honor of Christmas... just kidding), I found some vintage ads that might send shivers down your spine.

Because some days you just need to laugh
“Hooray! I’ve been exposed to this message enough to move from awareness to consideration!” -tpdsaa.Tmblr And other things real people don’t say about advertising: “Finally I can generate content for major brands!” “Fantastic! My bank has thrown transmedia storytelling in the mix. Now, that’s something I’m willing to pro-actively engage with.” “That subject line totally… Continue reading Because some days you just need to laugh
Fun with Flowcharts
I've been really creative this week, with a presentation to a breakout group at the PBS Annual Meeting, and I did two pieces of art - one for a friend's birthday gift and another as a bridal shower gift. So I've made a little art for you, too!
Fun with Newspaper Math
I’d like to be informative with posts, but sometimes, one has to first decompress with a joke. I heard this one recently: A client rings up an account executive and says, “I want to be in newspaper and I want it big.” AE says, “Sure, we’ll get with the media planner and get you rates… Continue reading Fun with Newspaper Math
