This is What Awesome Smells Like
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
I am totally bananas over the copywriting team responsible for the latest Old Spice campaign. Let me just state that I have no idea if the people responsible for these magnificent creative accomplishments are male or female. I don’t know if they’re short and fat or tall and skinny or any combination in between. They might be gassy. They could have bad teeth. They could be vegan (just kidding, all you vegans out there!). It doesn’t matter. They’re awesome, and I want to spread my non-sexual, Old Spice-scented love for them all over the internets.

an open letter to jennifer aniston
Monday, September 21st, 2009
i don’t know why i’m obsessed with ms. aniston’s love life (or apparent lack thereof). i think i just have an inherent problem with anyone who obviously goes out of her way to assure us that “she’s just fine” every chance she gets. that said, here’s my open letter to jennifer aniston. consider it my community service for the month.
dear jen, let me first say that while i made a joke at your expense on my homepage, i think you might be ready to hear what i have to say. you may be rich and skinny but no one’s “just fine” all the time, no matter how many magazines you try to convince otherwise (lindsay and britney, i’m looking in your direction). i bet i’d like you a little more if you dropped the fembot act and admitted that you spent last weekend binging on pizza and ring dings while indulging in a molly ringwald film fest and petting your cat. it would make you real, and i wouldn’t feel so weird for doing it, too (note to self: buy more hot fudge).

titles are for books, not people

My latest client is an organization called The CFO Alliance, which is a very nifty group of accounting and finance executives in eight markets across the country. Yes, those of you who know me are no doubt laughing out loud, as it’s no secret that I can’t add without using my fingers and I’ve never even attempted to balance my bank account, but hey, they didn’t hire me to do math, they hired me to develop a brand strategy, conceive a public relations and marketing plan and come up with some brilliant content for their upcoming online community. Get ready, CFOs! (more…)
