Look’s like Hello Kitty is saying goodbye…

This is a cool idea! Especially for kids….and me. Thx Mo for sharing.

It’s the simple things that work best.

So if we take a look at the calendar:

January: Slow, because I was on vacation for half of it, and didn’t get the calendar tll towards the end. Hence, it is empty.

February: Started off spectacularly, with a great birthday party at HUGS. Drinks were had, love connections were made, and I danced like a fool. It was fantastic.

March: Was slower, getting into the groove of things. I spent most of March working on my portfolio and went on a fantastic ski trip to Stowe in Vermont!

April: Obviously much busier. Portfolio was in final stages, started meeting with people to figure what to do with myself.

May: I’m not sure why I split May in half?

June: BUSY. Finished up at Futurebrand, looking for next gig.

July: Went corporate. Beached with my friends in Connecticut and in the Hamptons.

August: As friends returned from summer trips and others starting school, social life in the city picked up a bit.

September: While empty, was probably the most exciting month of the entire year. By this time, I figured out corporate was not for me, I went to London

October: Also empty. But I dressed up like an Oompa Loompa for Halloween and it was fun! I’m noticing a trend here…empty calendar = good month?

November: Amazing! Also a bit empty….but I was too busy living life instead of planning for it.

December: Not so bad, but stayed in NYC for the holidays for first time ever (not making THAT mistake again, I assure you). I’ve finished the year off on better terms but…the year is not over yet, and the best is yet to come.

Saw this in the garmet district, somewhere between 37th and 39th, 6th/7th ave. Seriously, you can find just about ANYTHING in NYC.

I saw this in Red Hook, Brooklyn en route to IKEA.

Yeah, I know it’s just a “catchy” name for a dollar store. But seeing this made me think…what if you really COULD buy a dream at the dollar store? Like a real dream, not a material “Oh my god this imitation Tupperware is a DREAM, it keeps my food fresh for so long and it’s so CHEAP”. A dream like “Climb Mt.FIji” or “Vacation in the Outback”. Would it mean as much if you could get it for 99 cents at a wholesale store? Probably not. So the allure of dreams….is that they are that, dreams…? What if they come true, was it ever a dream? What if a store like this DID exist? If it did I know exactly what I’d get -  the 3 x 99 cent toilet paper and the pink and white unicorn….what what would you guys buy?

I thought this was a great ad, just had to post it. I like that it doesn’t have to call out Starbucks specifically and yet we all get it. Cool.
