Fashion

Recently I've been going through fashion magazines, the Vogues, In Styles... and I realize I spend about 90% of my time looking at the amazingly obscure advertisements. Most of these have nothing to do with the product they are marketing, in fact my favorites are the ones where the product isn't anywhere in or hinted to in the picture, I don't know why but I love them.

So, in my red sunglasses this is my ad for....
...uh, potato peelers I think, or socks.

Yeah, I took an ad class in college, and I remember one where this guy is totally covered in layer after layer of clothing (shirts and undershirts and inner jackets and outer jackets and corduroy pants and fancy boots, etc.). He was sitting in a room that was completely jammed packed with books and bookcases, floor to ceiling. He himself was sitting in this fancy leather chair reading a stack of books. It was an assault on the senses just looking at this page. There was so much there.

It was an ad for DKNY belts. I don't know.

I know from when I was a kid that Australia is upside-down. I didn't realize that Afghanistan is at a 45 degree angle. When I think of it now, it makes sense.

when I was a kid I always used to mix up the words angels and angles as well as girl and grill.

So has the female equivalent of GQ been calling yet? What is the female equivalent of GQ anyway? Glamour? National Enquirer?

Hmmm...when I saw your ad I had this compelling urge to join the AF. Or was it move to Afganistan...?
