Advertising for Midnight

I have understood you. Meet me at midnight. The keyhole will be turned and my lock wide open. Meet me at midnight, you know the place: blue doors, chipped white stucco walls and brown carpet for days. In your mind, I lie undressed. My arms, shoulders and breasts dance as whitecaps among ambiguous waves. This tiny clock ticks and I see the midnight moonlight peek through tiny brown squares in the burlaps shades as I watch for sensual shadows. I have thought about seeing you in this light. Your sealed lips hover above my white ear, your voice is low and a wonderful melody whispers my name. My green eye peeks out from under the covers at the door and spies. You are not here yet and I feel your absence. I rap my gold chipped nails on the small circular linoleum table thinking about the last time I saw you here. I smell your pale razor eyes and your laugh. I think you are somewhere, bored. Something delays you from adventure as you hold yourself back, clutching your wetness, I watch the blue water rise through your neck and up into the tips of your hair. Casting my gaze at the pool of light pouring from the aqua lamp, I realize there is no soap here. This is something unclean. My virgin palm is cupped and holding you tightly when there’s a buzz followed by a red light. One push of the button and a photo emerges of a man. He’s handsome and he’s wearing brown clothes and a wide brimmed hat. The message reads, “There’s a new sheriff in town.” It’s a secret. It our secret.

Record Store Day – April 19, 2008

Sure, big chain stores get plenty of advertising. When was the last time your Sunday paper didn’t have the latest flyer for Best Buy? And how often do you catch their commercials on TV? Unfortunately, powerhouse companies like those are causing several small record stores throughout the country to close. In efforts to increase awareness of these independently owned shops, tomorrow is Record Store Day. A “holiday” designed to celebrate boutiques filled with all those music geeks that know more about your favorite album than you ever cared to. So just for tomorrow, go grab that CD you’ve been jonesing for at your closest local store. Click the logo below to find a mom & pop near you.

Save the Reese’s!

In my humble opinion, the world was complete upon the advent of the “Chocolate & Peanut Butter Union.” My deep love for this combo may be the underlying reason for my love of Arnold’s newest round of ads for Reese Cups. But seriously, could you think of a better way to put a goofy spin on global warming? I’m also pretty sure that this past Easter was the first time (ever, literally) that I actually felt bad for the hollow chocolate bunny with their print ads. Check those out on the official website, along with the ability to make your own Reese ad.
