“I can’t help looking at what’s hot.”™
Sometimes a piece comes along that can fit into several CultureWaves™. This is one of them. What we have here is a nail polish aimed squarely at men which made me immediately think: Yin Yang Blend™: “I see the line between sexes as blurred.”™ But then I checked out the site and thought whoa! They [...]
Tom Ford seems to have three careers. One is a famous fashion designer, then he turned his hand to film directing… and the third seems to be making feminists furious with his photoshoots. This latest one is no exception. Yes, that’s him sniffing a fragrance tester pulled from a models butt crack. He has had [...]
The Human Truth™ of Suggestive Selling™ is: “I can’t help looking at what’s hot”™. Victoria’s Secrets latest campaign is banking on that to be true.

“I can’t help looking at what’s hot™” …even if it’s an ad for toilet cleaner! Sometimes the best ideas are about doing the opposite of what is expected.
So it’s no surprise that Fast Food advertising has mainly dwelt in the lowest, physiological level of Maslow’s Hierarchy. Tearing animalistically into a huge sloppy burger is a guilty, sometimes uncontrollable URGE right? Hehe That’s why Suggestive Selling is perfect match for Quick Service Restaurants (…you do the “quickie joke” or shall I?) Well I [...]
So you may or may not have already heard of the “Australian Man Drought”. It’s a recent phenom that entails eligible city dwelling Aussie bachelors heading overseas for extended working holidays or high paying salaries. Hey, I’m reporting from the front line. I’m living in beautiful Sydney- the city that’s been hit hardest by the [...]
Former British Cosmo editor Linda Kelsey is “shocked, bewildered and disgusted” by British women’s magazines and their cover lines like, “I breastfeed my puppy” or “Lesbian Incest: My Sister and I Want A Baby.” Magazines were feeling the pinch even before the recession so it seems aiming at the LCD (lowest common denominator) is their [...]
