April ‘87. Jennifer taking a message.

I guess you could say I knew what I wanted to do at a young age.

I’ve been playing office ever since.

Today.

I have always loved markers, crayons, colored pencils, paints, chalk, and I had about every box Crayola came out with. But what us coloring buddies loved most were these professional paint brush markers. See that red on the left, it makes for the most perfect Ariel hair, and the green, and purple, well, if you are a mermaid fan, you know where I’m going with this. When we used these markers, we were real artists. Last week, while I was cleaning out old drawers at the ad agency I work at, I found some of these markers that real designers used back in the olden days of adland. They are now on my desk. And I dug these out for home use as well. Computers might be how it’s done now, but I still believe in the power of the (colored) pen.

Super Bowl Outfit: Braids & Blues We celebrated at the Stubby’s, which is like the best house ever to watch a game, due to their comfy leather couch and big screen TV, plus hearty snack selection. As far as the ads go, obviously the sled dog - husky - spot by Suzuki was my favorite. I liked meeting Ms. Brown the new M&M, but didn’t really care about the spot itself. I did like two Budweiser spots: “Return of the King” that was on trend with its 1920s prohibition theme; and their through-the-decades spot (always like these), “Eternal Optimism.”

Super Bowl Outfit: Braids & Blues

Sled dogs to be in Super Bowl commercial

Suzuki released a preview of “Sled,” an ad that features the brand’s all-wheel-drive Kizashi sport sedan driving across a snow- and ice-covered landscape AND adorable sled dogs.

View the spot at the link.

In other sled dog news, MTV’s newest Challenge, Battle of the Exes, looks to include a challenge with dog sled teams. Can’t wait for that episode!

Forthcoming Tome 'Mad Women' Will Tell Other Side of the Story

While the book, “Mad Women: the Other Side of Life on Madison Avenue in the ’60s and Beyond,” looks like it will be good, I’m really digging author Jane Maas’ golden unicorn pin, shown in her mug at the link.
