Here are a couple rocktastic spreads I found in the current issue of NYLON magazine.
Do you agree? Not that it matters. I have better taste than you, anyways.
Great minds think alike. My very good friend, Charley, came out from NYC for the weekend and I had a fuckin' blast with her. We ate burritos. Hot sauce. Drank sub-par drinks at a western bar. Drove around town mindlessly searching for a park while blasting The Kills. We found the park. Finally. We drove home quickly. Furiously. Changed outfits. She grabbed the 1953 Hawthorne cruiser. I grabbed the old skool 80s Red Line BiMMerX. We nearly ran over a deer on the bike path. We met up with the Cruiser Kids. Drank High Life by the swingset. I held onto that bottle with one hand and held onto a gigantic Pink Lemonade lollipop in the other. I have no idea how the bike maneuvered straight.
Anyway, I digress. As usual. The point of all this is - we think alike. We like the same things. We both FUCKING LOVE The Kills. And we both agree that Alison 'VV' is super dope and that she should consider hanging out with us. Charley wants her wardrobe. I just want to hear her voice over sippin' on some drinks.
Charley knows music. Gets it. She missed nearly half of our advertising classes in college 'cuz there was always a show that needed to be seen - sometimes the venue was as far away as Madagascar. I admit, I haven't kept up with all her glorious publications, but I promise to start right now. And you should, too! And while you're at it, leave a comment letting her know that you're a friend of mine and that you think she's a badass, too.
Charley on everything else ROCKIN'
check out this video. i think it's a perfect visual description of modern day loooove. and sex.
And for the record, I don't agree with Charley on Kanye West. Nope. :)

Thanks, Drage, for hooking up the world's greatest quote on advertising.

Sheima Hassanlou, freelance motion graphics designer who sometimes edits and sometimes does print (her words), sent us her new portfolio site to review. But we thought we’d toss it out to the rest of you Egotists to analyze and provide feedback.
Some of our friends from the outside will also be chiming in on the work – a team from Tequila, LA, TBWA\Chiat\Day’s in-house interactive arm and a team from McCann Erickson, NY. We’ve also lined up two new teams from Creature, Seattle and an editorial team from Chrome, Santa Monica.
Sheima was educated at CU in Boulder and at Crispin Porter + Bogusky as an intern. Did it stick?
Check out her site. Then check back in and let her know.
My new site is up for review by the Denver creative community. Some of my uber-talented friends have been ripped to shreds on this site, and now my work is up for debate.
You can check me out takin' a licking from these foolios.
Yup. Now ya heard.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Guess who's coming back to the Super Bowl.
For the first time since 1999, Victoria's Secret has purchased a
30-second spot, which is slated to run once during the second half of
the game. Executives at the Limited Brands unit declined to reveal what
was spent on the buy, but Fox has sold spots for as much as $3 million
for the Feb. 3 event...
