Beyonce Back On Top

My dear friend Julia shared this video with me, insisting I would agree that it was Beyonce genius. 

It is an old Gap commercial + Audrey Hepburn meets Center Stage and Dream Girls....also known as, FABULOUS.

The Chase Film

I was lucky enough to attend a seminar for Agency Professionals led by Tim Williams last week. During which, he shared this spot produced by Venables Bell & Partners to generate excitement around the 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor.... So RAD!

Fabulous. Smile this Sunday :)  

hello november

Do to my recent sore throat, I am welcoming November with tons of Chamomile tea and this gem of a singer/songwriter, Lana del Ray, hailing from Brooklyn.

Check out her website (linked above) for her two latest songs, Video Games and Blue Jeans. Lana del Ray is a natural beauty, her look being the perfect combination of retro and this day-in-age. I adore the  vintage footage of her music videos, and applaud the genius of her YouTube video being the backdrop to her site. I've seen this being used for a few new artists recently (check out Lord Huron). Perhaps YouTube is leading the revolution in bringing back music videos? I sure think so...

toasting

The newest innovation, but this time in the kitchen. What's even cooler than the toasters are the minds that came up with these!

Now you can do both at the same time! 

Toast and a movie..

See-through, burn no more!

Have a wonderful week ahead!

A tune for the upcoming week ahead, for those that saw Panic this weekend in New York, and enjoyable for those of us who didn't get to!
