What kind of school?

^ I went to graduate school for advertising

I'm looking forward to the VSFS 2011............I don't know if I'll post any vids of the show. It appears everyone has settled for the YouTube versions.......... :lost:

If you do, make sure you send them over to me b/c I LOVE your captures

BTW, what is the name of the video program you use again?

I use several Adobe Premier Elements, DIVX, PavTube, DVD Shrink all depends on the size and quality of the capture.

Thank you. Nice to see you around too!!! How have you been???

Doin' okay. Job is still paying the bills (barely). De-cluttering the house and selling what i can on ebay to help with gas/grocery money. I really should get a 2nd job to pay down some debt. TMI, lol?

Just reading some of the posts it seems like some BZ members could form a media company...advertising, graphic artists, photo and video editors, etc.

Is that what you wanted to do?

There was another program you told me about many years ago

Hello Widget No, not TMI at all! You situation is very common especially with the economy still being cruddy Like I said before it is slowly improving but not to the point where it is stable enough. I can also relate to some of what you are going through so I understand

If some of BZ’s talents joined forces to create a media company it will be a very interesting situation

^ I went to graduate school for advertising

Is that what you wanted to do?

It is definitely an area I would like to further pursue my career in

Is that the kind of public relations or rather making an ideas of advertisements?

^ It more branding, conceptualizing and planning

Like the the new set by the way

What does mean branding?

Thank you LMS made me an ava, and I cropped one pic to have this siggy... I´m not a fan of Lily, but oh hell, did she capture my eyes at that lip singing Move Like Jagger! She was enormously amazing and when I was looking through her pics, she really looks wonderful in most of her VS pics (like, really good!!!)

^ It is the identification of the idea, image, message, personality and story behind a product or service. Often to differentiate itself from other [similar] products. For example, Coke and Pepsi. They are both cola soft drinks but they are very different b/c of how they are represented to consumers.

I am not a Lily fan either, but from her interviews I like her. She is someone I would totally be friends with! As a models she is ok. She is a better print model than she is a runway model---which explains why she rarely does runway shows. I guess her half-sister got the runway gene I do feel bad for Lily b/c few months after she got married Caleb went into rehab I hope he is doing better now

Oh, I get it

I agree, she is a better print model than runway. But she seems to be a lot of fun to be with cute and with a good heart, who knows who is her half-sister?

I really hope VS keeps her around b/c I do like her

Her half-sister is Ruby Aldridge

I am excited about this potential company now

Oh, pleeeeease, can I apply for a job in that company?? Pleeease!! I make myself pretty helpful in doing all kinds of things, be it office work or recruiting or cooking for the lot of you or sorting out catfiights ...

And isn't that funny, I didn't know! They do nothing look alike! I had just recently read a Bio on Lily at wikipedia -what a family! With Lily's and Ruby's successful modelling, her mother beeing a well-known model, her father being an artist, and her brother being Miles Aldridge, one of the best contemporary photographers? Impressive!

Hi Pink, it's interesting to see that you are an advertising person. I responded to your post in the books thread:

It says 2006 on this, Pink. Just out of curiosity, what are your favorite marketing books today?

Influence and Bobos in Paradise (David Brooks) are low priority on my reading list so I haven't gotten to it yet.

Influence: Science and Practice by Robert B. Cialdini

Finding Betty Crocker By Susan Marks

Everything Bad Is Good For You By Steven Johnson

Truth, Lies & Advertising by Jon Steel

Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind by Al Ries and Jack Trout

The New Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind by Al Ries and Jack Trout

On Paradise Drive: How We Live Now (And Always Have) In the Future Tense by David Brooks

Oh, I get it

I didn´t know too, lol have to check her too.

But I noticed that not many people here like her. Why is that?

With all the freelance work you have done your portfolio must be amazing! You have a lot of experience so I think getting a new job wouldn't be too much of a challenge

I think the holidays seem to arrive earlier each year partially b/c companies are putting out holiday stuff earlier each year. It is a marketing ploy. Or it could be b/c you have been so busy or having so much fun in life time flies by

My job is ok. It's not bad but it isn't great either. It is something that is good enough for now. I am learning a lot, and I enjoy the professionalism & lack of drama this job has compare to some of my other jobs

I do hope so - my portfolio is considerably heavier now than it was a year ago, though I still tend to think of myself as something of a plodder, as opposed to someone with a genuine flair for it.

For some reason, I started to see houses lit up with Christmas decorations as soon as November. And for someone like me, who doesn't even start their shopping until about the 22nd of December (at the earliest ), it's really rather odd. I mean, I don't know what it's like elsewhere but in this neck of the woods, you can't even buy yourself a tree until December starts.

That's great to hear. On the sliding scale of job qualities, I value a lack of drama pretty highly.

I am excited about this potential company now

Is there anything to be said for forming an evil corporation instead? I've always secretly wanted to join one and valuing profits above ethics is something I could really see myself getting into.
