Phallic Logo, for real?
By lainie at 20 September, 2007, 11:11 am
Sometimes I see things and know right off the bat it’s a joke, a gag or simply bad taste. I recently came across this logo and thought, “is this for real?” Seems like quite a bit of work for a hoax, but it’s so obviously phallic I don’t know how the client or designer didn’t […]

As much as I admire and adhere to Mapplethorpe’s provocative artistic nudes, I deny the laurels of recognition to latrins-like John Ford.
In his last work, an advertisement boosting a men’s fragrance, his sensitive and talented eye embodied the excellence in indecency and vulgarity, and won “honoris emeritus” the award of the best “pornographer” of the […]
Speech bubble trend continued..

The latest speech bubble logo to fully assault an already saturated market is none other than the Czech Republic itself. The country has a new identity mimicking this ongoing trend. From an objective viewpoint, it’s actually a fabulous identity for this country who has been reinventing itself for many years. We were sensitive enough not […]

We hear everywhere about living a more “green” life, but it’s not just about our environment; it’s about us too. It’s about being mindful of the inside and out of every product you buy–going orange, not green.

A Socially-Conscious Examination of Tom Ford

Look at this woman.
She’s beautiful, isn’t she? Absolutely perfect. Her glistening body is taught, toned, and slicked with oil. Her delicate fingers are decorated with vivid red fingernail polish, and her supple, teasing, skin has been airbrushed to an inhuman smoothness. This bronzed goddess is open, inviting, and eager. Her hands gently caress her own […]

As summer eases into autumn on a balmy Wednesday afternoon, nothing quite beats a nutritious jungle [8] lunch. Today’s culinary adventure was a filling tuna melt (made using soy cheese!) and one of lainie’s famous salads. The melt itself consisted of tuna salad (mixed with tangy red pepper, chunks of sweet green apple, tiny […]

As green is becoming and symbolizes a trademark, as the carefree bees and the candid ants swarm, bind themselves curiously (or consciously?) around the honey taste-like concept of being, acting trendy “green”, reality strikes unexpectedly and irreversibly, once again at the poles!
Another open-wound is disfiguring the flank of our majestic skyline in the Antarctica, vomited […]

One of the best parts about working at jungle[8] is the delicious fresh meal prepared daily (see blog posting “Salad a la jungle[8]” for photos and a more detailed description). For those who aren’t so lucky, a packed lunch is a school and office necessity. When attempting a brown bag feast, it’s hard to find […]
