Photo by Sarah, from our day at the farm, I promise a recap is coming soon!!
Awkward:
– Oh this is a good one.
When I was in college, I was on the board for my school’s Fashion Society. Every year, we held a Next Top Male Model competition and ran it very similarly to the real America’s Next Top Model, with photoshoots, live judging, etc. Last fall one of the photoshoot prompts was to remake famous advertisements, including Axe. My friend and I had to stand in as Axe girls with the male model contestant. It was all cute and funny and forgotten about as soon as the show was over. UNTIL I received word last week that SOMEHOW Axe/the MLB/TBS got ahold of the photo, superimposed Cal Ripken Jr.’s face over the actual male model’s, and it is playing in a commercial during the MLB playoffs. Really great.
I have yet to see the commercial, but here is a photo for proof that it exists. If anyone does in fact see it, I apologize in advance.
-I’m not quite used to my new apartment’s setup yet, so after a long day Friday, I flopped on my couch, leaned back, and smacked my head so dang hard that I felt a bump arise just like you’d see in those old cartoons. Pain to the max. Washing my hair all week has been quite the challenge.
Awesome:
-I got to go to a pre-screening of Like Crazy this week. Not only was the film amazing, but director Drake Doremus and actress Felicity Jones were both there for a Q&A at the end! And let me tell you kids, this girl? She’s gonna be a star.
-SOMEHOW, without even looking, I stumbled on a pair of Missoni for Target heels, and the last ones in my size! They aren’t the flats I lusted over so badly, but if they were still there this late in the game (aka #MissoniforTarget sheeetshow), I think they were mean to be.
-A space heater in my office and a warm cup of pumpkin coffee. Nothin’ beats the rain like that combo.
-That belt up there? ^ It’s from the clearance pile at Wet Seal. #sorryimnotsorry
Lol about the belt and congrats on the Missoni find!

Oh my gosh. That ad. I can’t. I’m going to die laughing when I see it. But I’ll try to photograph it and put it on my blog. I kid. Or am I?
The ad. I can’t. It’s too much. ALSO, t-minus 3 weeks til NYC. Can we start planning events and outfits?

Say what? They can randomly use a pic for a commercial? I thought they had to get permission? Either way that’s pretty cool!
And yay to pre-screening movies 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Oh, I’ll be looooooooking for that photo! haha! though I prefer the cure shots of you in the pumpkin patch 🙂
I’d say the awesome totally out weighed the awkward this week. And the Axe story is just to ridiculous that it is hilarious. You know we all have an image like that floating out there. I modeled in a math book while a teen. I like to think that people draw and doodle on my early 90’s self. But I’m probably in an outdated edition and now relegated to 3rd world countries.
Cute outfit. I love the belt and scarf. That is hilarious about the commercial. I’d love to see it.
