Image of the Day

My friend Sarah was telling me how she has taken up doing Hot Yoga. Curious to learn more, I googled it and THIS image pops up. This didn't answer any questions, but rather created new ones. Such as 'Is he going for the Jesus crucifix pose?' and 'Why is everyone else in the class just as freaked out as I am?' as well as 'Does he always match his headband to his speedo?'

Take that Ann!

After reading about my friend Kelly's experience with a fabulous velvet blazer, I was more than a bit wary of purchasing a velvet blazer for myself. But then I happened across this little number on sale from $175 to $98 at Ann Taylor's pad. Not only that, but the nice little sales lady was handing out 40% off coupons like candy. I've been wanting a blazer and am a complete sucker for anything involving a bow so this was a pretty easy sell when the saleswoman told me how incredible I looked in it. I liked it so much that I wasn't even deterred when my husband informed me that I looked like a Hobbit in it. Hey for a fantastic deal like this, I can put up with a few hairy feet references.

Let's review shall we?
Originally $175.00
Purchased for $60.40
= Savings of $114.60 or 65%

Hey Ann, now we are even for that blouse I bought at full price, wore to my company's holiday party and then you put on mega sale the next day.

POTD: Coyote Hat

I can't really explain this coyote fur mountain man coyote hat other than than they must've gotten so tired from hunting down and killing the coyote that they just couldn't muster up the energy to finish it. Kudos to this male model though, who is really trying to make it work. In fact, this company puts him to the test with all their products and he gets to show his amazing versatility.

POTD: Awkwardest pose ever?

Now I've watched my fair share of AMNTM which I feel has given me some insight into the fashion modeling industry. For example, I've learned that as a model you want to capture people's attention, but you don't want to steal attention away from the garment you are trying to sell. With that in mind, I'm having a really hard time picturing how this photo shoot went.

Photographer: Ok, now for this dress, let's just go for awkward.
Model: Ummm, ok, so like this?
Photog: Oh no, definitely not awkward enough. Try jutting out an elbow at a funky angle. Yah, yah, ok, now try looking...more constipated.
Model: Like this?
Photog: Perfect, that's exactly what I was looking for. This is definitely going to make women want to buy this dress.

POTD: Posh Spice!

Today Andrea discovered that in our Pronto data we have very thorough data representation for The Spice Girls. Thank goodness right? Then I found this 6" Posh Spice Doll. I'm so glad they chose to take a picture of this doll from behind. It really allows you to see the striking resemblance to Victoria Beckham.
