PODCAST: Mary Warlick

I’ve just finished watching ‘Coco Chanel Unbuttoned’. Not only did I discover Coco wasn’t her real name (Gabrielle), I discovered her philosophy. Pre-Coco, high end fashion used the finest, most expensive materials, like silk, lace and satin – a visual display of one’s wealth. Coco chose instead, the basic materials she’d grown up with, poor and in an orphanage. Like jersey, previously used to…

Tell me again what choosing optimism has to do with your front load washing machine?

LG's got a new manifesto. It tells us that once we choose optimism, "That's when the good stuff starts."

Such a simple concept, a child could say it. We know that because in this spot a child does say it.

I love the guy long boarding. Cool film. Incredible sound design.

But it takes way too long to say... nothing. Okay. Be optimistic. And this relates to LG how...? The campaign landing page doesn't clear anything up. It just says more about optimism.

I know how this happens.

You're trying to advertise a giant brand that has a lot of different businesses. You look for a greater purpose that ties them all together.

But then you aim so high and get so caught up in it that you don't stop to check and see if regular people will hear what you think you're saying.

I know how this happens because I've done it.

Cingular Wireless was a forerunner of what is now AT&T. When we launched Cingular Wireless many years ago, we didn't want to be just another wireless provider. We wanted to stand out by standing for something. We wanted a higher-order end benefit.

So we got to thinking. What does it mean that you're able to make a mobile phone call that's clear and doesn't cost a fortune? You're able to speak freely. You're able to express yourself without holding back.

That's it!

We're the wireless company that champions self-expression.

Not a bad North Star. We knew how it tied back to the product. But I doubt if any viewers of spots like this one and this one did.

We eventually did a better job of tying Cingular's higher-order benefit with their wireless service and phones. But not until after we had run six launch spots–three of which ran on the Super Bowl.

We're fortunate there's no such thing as malpractice in advertising.

Mellowing For Enid's Touch

Pairings: Wednesday Addams x Enid Sinclair

18+ ( Minors, don't interact.)

Gif courtesy: @yoon-seoah 🌙

Once a week, Wednesday Addams would sit down and write a long letter to Enid Sinclair, pouring out her heart in every word. She would slip the letters into Enid's locker during lunchtime, hoping to surprise her. Sometimes, she would say romantic words like Cara Mia, Mi amor, Mon Chiat, Querido, just to see the blush on Enid's face.

Enid was always delighted to receive these letters, and she would read them over and over again, feeling a warmth spread through her body. She couldn't believe that someone as amazing as Wednesday could be in love with her. Enid would often reply to the letters with her own thoughts and feelings, but she was never as eloquent as Wednesday.

One day, Wednesday decided to surprise Enid with a gift. She presented her with an antique silver mirror, intricately carved with macabre images of skulls and bones. Enid was taken aback at first, but then she saw the beauty in it. She thanked Wednesday with a smile, and they spent the rest of the day talking about their future together.

As the weeks went by, Wednesday continued to shower Enid with gifts - a black rose preserved in a glass case, a silver ring with a wolf's head on it, and even a taxidermied bat. Enid treasured each one, knowing that they were all symbols of Wednesday's love for her.

But it wasn't just the gifts that made Enid feel special. It was the way Wednesday listened to her when she talked about her dreams and fears. It was the way Wednesday made her laugh, even on her darkest days. And it was the way Wednesday supported her in everything she did.

Enid sat on the bed next to Wednesday, her fingers gently caressing the dark strands of hair falling across her shoulders. Wednesday leaned into her touch, closing her eyes and sighing contentedly.

"How are you feeling?" Enid asked softly.

Wednesday opened her eyes and turned to face her, her expression softening at the sight of Enid's caring gaze. "I'm feeling better now that you're here," she replied, reaching out to caress the scar on Enid's face that the Hyde had given her.

Enid winced at the touch but then relaxed into it, enjoying the sensation of Wednesday's gentle fingers on her skin. "I've been doing well in my classes," she said, changing the subject. "And I joined the track team like you suggested. It's been a lot of fun."

Wednesday smiled. "I knew you'd be great at it. And what about your other clubs? Have you been enjoying those too?"

Enid nodded. "Yes, I've been having a blast. It's nice to have so many different activities to keep me busy."

Just then, Bianca barged into the room, a look of surprise on her face at the sight of Wednesday being so soft around someone. Enid tensed at the intrusion, but Wednesday quickly composed herself and turned to face Bianca with a cold glare.

"If you breathe a word of this to anyone, I'll do things to you, that are from your worst nightmares," Wednesday threatened, her voice low and dangerous.

Bianca nodded quickly and backed out of the room, leaving Enid and Wednesday alone once again. Enid couldn't help but laugh at Wednesday's protective outburst.

"You're so fierce," she said, reaching out to take Wednesday's hand.

Wednesday smiled, her expression softening once again as she leaned in to kiss Enid on the lips, running their tongues in knots after knots,

They stayed like that for a few moments, lost in their own private world, before pulling away and settling back into the comfort of each other's company.

Enid leans down and kisses Wednesday, her fingers still moving rhythmically inside her, Her thumb circling and pressing. Enid's other hand scoops her hair off her head and holds Enids head in place. Her tongue mirrors the actions of her fingers, claiming her Willa. Wednesdays legs begin to stiffen as Enid push against her hand. She gentles her hand, so Wednesdays brought back from the brink … she come instantly again and again, falling apart beneath Enid … then she's building again … Her climax anew, calling out Enids name.”

The world seemed dreamlike as she pulled back from her, the firelight setting her face aglow. Without speaking, she started to undo the button on Wednesdays shirt. She watched her as she made her way downward. With each button she could feel her fingers brushing against her cold, lifeless skin, and she smiled softly at her when she finally finished […] She felt short of breath as she lowered her head and kissed between her breasts and slowly ran her tongue up her neck. Her hands gently caressed her back, her arms, her shoulders, and she felt their heated bodies press together, skin to skin.”

But one more thing.” Wednesday leaned forward, resting her hands on either side of her on the counter, then dipped her head lower. Enid's mind reeled as she ran her tongue upward in one long lick of her neck. “The longer it takes me to get between your thighs, the rougher I’m going to be when I finally get there. Understand?” (yes Willa) “Do you feel that, baby? That’s your Addams moving inside you.”

happy last full day in asia before we fly back tomorrow!!! today we woke up very early to visit jiufen and it was soooo beautiful!! we ate braised pork over rice for lunch and i had a yummy milk tea with grass jelly. we also explored the town a bit and found lots of cute cats!! and we bought some magnets!!

and then we proceeded to enter hell in the form of "only" a 900m hiking trail to the top of a mountain that ended up being entirely stairs for about 1.5 hours <3 according to my phone we did 70 flights of stair climbing </3 i think it would be fine if it wasn't 95 degrees and extremely humid!! the view was very beautiful though

then we came back and rested for a bit before getting coco curry for dinner and then stopping by chiate (a very popular place to buy taiwanese pineapple cakes)

tomorrow we have about a half day in taipei before we fly around dinnertime!! no wifi on the plane :( but i am really looking forward to going home and seeing my parents soon

how is everyone doing?

Advert Alchemy: Supernatural Skittles

In this series, Squideo has examined the best ways to turn advertising content into gold. Now that we’ve broken down the eight key ingredients, it’s time to dive deep into some examples of stellar advertising. This week, the advert in question was picked by Squideo’s Marketing Executive, Emily Woodcock.

When asked why this Skittles advert has become her favourite, Emily said: “I saw it on television while I was on holiday. Maybe that's why it stuck in my mind. The dark humour certainly caught my attention and I loved the reference to Midas (of Greek mythology). Despite the video's resolution quality, I also think it's aged really well.”

Skittles Dance

This is the second appearance of the Mars Inc. company in our Advert Alchemy series. We’ve dived into the background of this American business, so let’s focus on Skittles. The history of its creation is a bit murky, but it’s widely accepted that a small British manufacturer first launched Skittles in the mid-1970s. They were soon bought by Wrigley, which is also owned by Mars Inc., who took over distribution and brought the sweets to an international market in 1979.

Greatly resembling another Mars Inc. product, M&Ms, Skittles are distinguished by a small letter ‘S’ on their shell. The range of flavours has changed several times over the decades like many other Mars products, and variation flavours have also been sold such as Tropical and Wild Berry. Unlike other products under Mars Inc., there hasn’t been any major rebrands attached to Skittles. The name has never been changed and the branding remains recognisable decades apart.

The product was marketed a very specific way from the start, and was so successful it stuck. A rumour spread about the origins of the sweet that it was invented by a British confectioner who looked up at a rainbow and wondered how it would taste. The slogan – “Taste the rainbow” – wouldn’t be introduced until 1994, but the sweet has always had this colourful association which Wrigley’s marketers have loved to centre their campaigns around.

Somewhere Over the Skittles

Launched in 2007, Skittles’ advert was created by TBWA, Chiat and Day. The brand had already run a series of successful adverts, in terms of viewership and commercial impact, and audiences started to have high expectations from the brand.

According to the Art Director Craig Allen, “We wrote a lot of scripts [and] thought it would be funny to do a slightly sad spot for a candy brand.” Former GCD Ian Reichenthal said, “We had a lot of conversations with the guys in advance about trying out new voices, but still keeping it Skittles.” The brand guidelines were firmly in place for the creative team, unlike previous entries in the Advert Alchemy series who were looking to shake things up.

Skittles adverts often feature technically challenging shoots, such as the one centred around a Skittles tree growing out of a human being. Recreating the powers of Midas also proved to be difficult:

“The effects in the spot had never been done before so we had a lot of technical problems, which made for a very long shoot day. So long in fact that the police came to try and shut us down during the last hours of shooting. Luckily, Tom (Kuntz) is a very smooth gentleman and persuaded them to let us finish.”

Their hard work paid off, and the Midas Touch advert was ranked as Creativity Online's most watched spot of 2007. But why was Skittles’ Midas Touch such a big hit?

Skittles Connection

Mesmerizing Mythology

Named for the myth that inspired the advert’s plot, the Midas Touch gives the main character Tim a superpower: everything he touches turns into Skittles. Yummy. On the other, everything he touches turns into Skittles. Yikes. This is a spin on the Greek myth of King Midas, who wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. Unfortunately, he didn’t think his wish through and Midas soon found he can’t eat. And when he tried to hug his daughter, he turned her into a gold statue.

This Greek myth remains popular in modern storytelling, which is why this fun spin on a well-known story worked so well. It also fits into the wider Skittles marketing strategy, which often uses the sweets in bizarre ways. In one advert, Bleachers, there is an outbreak which makes people break out in Skittles.

Snappy Slogan

“Taste the rainbow” was introduced as the Skittles slogan in 1994, but the marketing team have always kept this slogan adaptable and flexible. Usually it is accompanied with a tagline which can change to reflect the nature of the advert. In Midas Touch it’s “touch the rainbow, taste the rainbow” in reference to Tim’s superpower. In an advert featuring a tree which grows Skittles, the slogan is changed to “harvest the rainbow, taste the rainbow.”

The taglines use of verbs also reinforce that Skittles is an experience that the audience needs to actively participate in. Skittles isn’t just a snack, like the sweets aren’t just multicoloured. It’s a taste of the rainbow. And in the case of Midas, it’s as good as gold.

Cackling Comedy

Tim can’t hold his infant child, he can’t dress himself, or feed himself… then he tells the story of turning a man into Skittles that very day when they shook hands. Is that murder or manslaughter? Either way, Skittles’ Midas Touch is definitely running with dark comedy which helps make the advert even more memorable. Yet the plot is kept just light enough to avoid crossing into the macabre, by showing Tim’s power only used on inanimate objects.

Comedy is a staple of the Skittles brand, ranging from the bizarre to the grisly. They carry this over in all of their marketing, from adverts to their website. Customers now expect it of the brand, which has let the marketing team get ideas from well outside the box.

Content Worth Gold

PODCAST: John Stingley

There are many ways of writing ads. Simply stating that your product is good. Giving evidence that it’s good. Or making people feel that it’s good. Ai could spit out versions of the first two pretty quickly, but it’d struggle on the third. The third requires a bit of psychology, observation and understanding of what makes people tick. Bill Bernbach put it this way “It took millions of years for…

[ad_1] Mr. Muschamp called it “a remarkable work of art” reminiscent of Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí.“Where a conventional design seeks to satisfy the desire for beauty,” he concluded, “Pesce uncovers something closer to the beauty of desire.”Chiat/Day’s and several other of Mr. Pesce’s interiors have been dismantled over time, their parts turning up at auction. That disturbed design historians, who said the pieces were most meaningful in context.Mr. Pesce also designed buildings, including an office block in Osaka, Japan, covered in plants; a vacation house in Bahia, Brazil; and two separate playful “holiday houses” in Puglia, Italy, for a married couple. (He made them from polyurethane, one pink, one blue.) Why two? “To stay together with someone is boring,” he explained during the Columbia lecture.Mr. Pesce’s first marriage, to Milena Vettore, when he was in his late 20s, ended with her death about a year later. In the early 1980s, he married Francesca Lucco, who died in 1997.In addition to his daughter Milena, from his second marriage, he is survived by a son, Jacopo, also from that marriage; a daughter from another relationship, Fontessa Duncan Pesce; a brother, Claudio; and a companion, Ruth Shuman. He lived on the Upper East Side for decades.The seemingly endless variety of Mr. Pesce’s works wasn’t accidental. “I believe that the treasure of the world is diversity,” he told the Times style magazine T in 2022. “If we are the same, we cannot talk, because there is nothing to say. But if you and I are different, there’s a lot to exchange.” [ad_2] Source link

Disability aesthetics and the body beautiful: Signposts in the history of art

Siebers, T. (2008). Disability aesthetics and the body beautiful: Signposts in the history of art. Alter: European Journal of Disability Research, 2(4), 329-336. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.alter.2008.08.002

This research paper looks at disability aesthetics, art that explores bodies in a deformed state, in historical and modern day art. Sieber argues that Venus de Milo, the “eternal standard of aesthetic and female beauty”, is becoming associated with disabled bodies and questions why people cannot view their “disabled neighbour” in the same way they view the Venus de Milo. Other historical artists, like Aristide Maillol and Michelangelo, have also created artworks and sculptures that, with a modern perspective, can be seen to favour disabled and fragmented bodies. Sieber analyses these historical works alongside modern artists that depict disabled people, most notably Marc Quinn, whose collection ‘Complete Marbles’ is a range of sculptures drawing on classical aesthetics solely depicting disabled people.

I found the author’s critique on body positivity campaigns useful for my project. Chiat explains that most body positivity campaigns still cater to white, able-bodied women often excluding minority groups from the conversation, stating that “The movement as a whole has failed to analyze the different identities that an individual encapsulates”. I’m glad to see that other researcher’s notice this trend and can see that body positivity campaigns still encourage aspects of ‘ideal beauty’. It further proves the point of my research.

The 8 Vibrant Heritage places in Singapore

Singapore is a cultural melting pot where visitors can take in the vivid heritage sites that reveal the island nation's rich history and variety. All of Singapore's heritage sites, from peaceful colonial neighbourhoods to thriving ethnic enclaves, tell a different tale about the city-state. We'll explore eight dynamic historical sites in this itinerary that highlight Singapore's multiculturalism. These districts, which range from Little India's fragrant lanes to Chinatown's vibrant streets, are teeming with life and charm, beckoning tourists to immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and cuisine of Singapore's varied populations.

Enjoying the unique experiences offered by each heritage area, such as discovering the Peranakan charm of Joo Chiat or taking in the Art Deco architecture of Tiong Bahru, honours Singapore's cultural legacy and identity. Come along with us as we explore Singapore's dynamic historic sites, where tradition coexists peacefully with innovation and history meets contemporary. Prepare to explore the distinct charm and personality of every district and take in the diverse range of cultures that truly make Singapore a one-of-a-kind destination.

Here are some vibrant heritage places in Singapore.

1. Kranji War Memorial: One of Singapore's most well-known historical sites is this one. One of Singapore's historical sites is the Kranji War Memorial. It pays tribute to those who died while performing their duties during World War II. 69 Chinese troops who lost their lives during Singapore's Japanese occupation are buried in a mass grave there as well. It seems eerily peaceful because of the more than 4,400 white gravestones.

2. Indian National Army Monument: One of Singapore's most popular historical landmarks, the Indian National Army Memorial, is situated in the lovely Esplanade Park. Erected in 1995, the memorial honours the 50th anniversary of the conclusion of World War II. Standing over an original memorial that was destroyed during a war and dedicated to an unidentified Indian soldier, it is a building where you are overcome with unwavering reverence and sorrow for all those who have died.

3. The Civilian War Memorial: On February 15, 1967, Lee Kuan Yew, the prime minister at the time, dedicated the Civilian War Memorial. Additionally, it is the 25th anniversary of Singapore's surrender to the Japanese on this day. Four 65-meter-tall pillars that represent Singapore's four major racial groups Chinese, Indian, Malay, and Eurasian mark the location. This historical location in Singapore is situated atop the interment sites of several citizens who perished during the Japanese occupation of the island nation. The young people call these skyscrapers "the chopsticks" with affection. Every year on February 15, a memorial ceremony is performed to honour those who have passed away.

4. National Museum of Singapore: If you want to understand anything about the nation, including its history, architecture, fashion, and culture, here is the place to go. It is the greatest history museum in Singapore and takes you on an interesting, entertaining, and educational tour. It is also more than simply an artifact repository. Movie screenings, live galleries, guided tours, interactive exhibitions, video montages, and art performances are all available. The National Museum, a unique venue with a range of entertaining events and interactive displays, is a stunning fusion of all of Singapore's historical landmarks in one location.

5. The Battle Box: With a fascinating past, Singapore's Battle Box is a well-known historical site. During World War II, it was initially intended to serve as a bomb-proof shelter for Britain's Headquarters, Malaya Command. It is reported that on February 15, 1942, General Percival made the fateful decision to turn over Singapore to Japan, nine meters below Fort Canning Hill. The 26 underground chambers of the Battle Box, which is now a fascinating museum and popular tourist destination, are utilized to portray different phases of the conflict and notable combatants. Wax statues, animatronic-inspired moving figures, military collections, and other items are available.

6. Mint Museum of Toys: Singapore's old buildings exude a strong sense of nostalgia. Toys, comics, and collectibles arranged in rows will transport you back in time. In addition, the details of the historical period they belong to are quite fascinating. There are around fifty thousand historic toys at the Mint Museum of Toys, some dating back over a century and a half. The museum is unquestionably one of Singapore's most unique historical sites.

7. Fort Siloso: One of the three forts built in the 19th century to protect Singapore against naval assault was Fort Siloso. With its extensive collection of WWII-era relics, military tunnels, and other buildings, this well-maintained coastal defensive fort has become one of Singapore's most visited historical attractions. Fun facts and precise insights into the battles and methods used prior to them are imparted through extremely stimulating interactive tours and workshops.

8. Sultan Mosque: The first sultan of Singapore, Sultan Hussein Shah, constructed the magnificent mosque in 1824. It was in desperate need of renovation after a hundred years. Thus, glass bottle ends were used to adorn its enormous prayer rooms and colossal golden domes during renovations. The impoverished Muslims contributed to these ends so that everyone could contribute in some way to the building and reconstruction of the mosque. It is the largest mosque in the nation and an important historical site in Singapore, with considerable religious significance.

Conclusion

Singapore's dynamic historic sites provide an engrossing tour of the island's diverse cultural landscape. Every district in Singapore, from the busy streets of Chinatown to the peaceful lanes of Kampong Glam, has a distinct charm and personality that reflect the many communities that call the island home. An easy and quick way for tourists to see Singapore's rich history is to reserve a Singapore trip book online. These Singapore tour packages frequently include lodging, transportation, and guided excursions, enabling guests to completely experience the sights, sounds, and cuisine of Singapore's rich history.

Enjoying real Peranakan food in Joo Chiat or taking in the Civic District's colonial-era monuments are just two examples of how each historic location embraces Singapore's history while providing a window into its present. So gather your belongings, get your tickets, and set out on a fascinating voyage through Singapore's rich history. With its diverse blend of customs, civilizations, and experiences, Singapore is sure to enthral and motivate visitors from all over the world. Come experience the enchantment of Singapore's historical sites, where each encounter leaves a lasting memory and every street corner narrates a tale.
