Soft Porn and Scrunchies...

American Apparel is currently trying to reincarnate a popular 80's fashion accessory better left to rest...AA is trying to bring back the SCRUNCHIE... Ewwww!

AA is showing them in everything from neon to zebra print...lamé to tribal print--and offering them up, for our viewing pleasure, on a freckle-faced PYT who writhes around in them seductively wearing a barely-there swimsuit, complete with a nip slip or two. These shots alone will surely make your man run out to buy them for you...or beg you to wear them...or not.

I suppose the scraps of fabric from AA's buttless tights had to be used for something, but we think some killer G-strings or thongs might have made better use of the left overs as we hate to see the return of this hideous trend.

*❤*

Sure the eighties are back, but even so, wearing a scrunchie is just bad fashion, so DON'T buy yours today!

Things to Ponder: Blind Faith

If you haven’t tried Evo hair products, you should...I haven't yet, but YOU should.


Sounds ridiculous that I'm telling you to use something that I've never tried, huh? Well, I am...just based on Evo's advertising {shown}. And, whether you realise it or not, you buy things all the time based on a feature or the advertising of a product.

Recently, I've been wundering just how many editors, publicists, stylists, etc... who push products -and people- on us daily actually use or experience what they are pushing.

Yesterday, I was creative consultant on a photo shoot {true story} here in Los Angeles. I was brought in last minute to help, so I didn't know what the "talent" we were shooting were all about...but I helped style them, position them,..."push" them for the magazine anyway.

I later overheard their publicist ask the photographer if he had seen their work and he replied that he hadn't, yet he was taking photos of them. The publisher of the magazine that they were being shot for ALSO didn't know what they were all about.... All of it made me really think about what I buy and why.


So, today, I am "pushing" a company that I know nothing about and telling you that you should try their products, just like you would normally put blind faith into whatever else you see in advertising campaigns used in the magazines we read and on the internet and television and that most of look at everyday.

If it looks good and they tell us what we want to hear, most of us will try it - at least once.

It's true that packaging and advertising work...and Evo, an Australian miracle hair care company marketing to Gen Y {ages 15-25}, with cute, quirky packaging and cutting edge advertising that pokes fun at the ridiculousness of beauty today will undoubtedly succeed.

Their website references Japanese pop culture, featuring lots of pink, sound effects, Kanji writing and a girl speaking Japanese. Oh, and a lot of annoying pop-ups too.

We love it...umm, at least the packaging anyway!

...Now, I think I'll actually buy something and see if it's as good as it looks.
