...But for all those other moments, introducing the Bacon Bouquet. Your loved one can't be mad at you if they're fighting for their lives from the grease induced heart attack!
I love this website.

Working in an industry where some form of facial hair seems to be a compulsory male accessory, I find this chart extremely helpful.
Madonna continuing her unsuccessful stranglehold on youth
Madonna shoots for Dolce and Gabbana in Harlem. In concept the shoot could have been quite cheeky. It could have had a classy edge but instead you get the above picture-Madonna squeezed, pinched and stuffed her into a dress 2 sizes too small which is quite the feat given her skeletal figure. Looking more crazy mum vs. sexy, empowered older woman, the entire thing feels like an overproduced parody of Desperate Housewives - Cougar edition.
Looking at the creative trajectory of Madonna as of late, you have to wonder, whatever happened to aging gracefully? At a certain point, shouldn't you just embrace your age and go with that vs. always trying to relive the glory days of your 20's? Exhibit 2: this music video with Pharrell where Madonna looks uncomfortably like a mom - albeit a very hot mom - at the disco. Also, call me racist, but a white blond woman should never be uttering the words "Get Stupid."
The saddest part is that Madonna might just have been able to pull off the whole youth pastiche if she wasn't just so serious about it. There's no sly wink, no insider grin, it doesn't even look like she's genuinely having fun. In the photos and the videos you can tell, she's trying so hard and as uncomfortable as it makes me to see a grown woman acting like a 20 year old, it mostly juts makes me feel sad. I mean, what's the point in growing older if all you have to look forward to is pretending you're someone you're not?

Every Person In New York
Jason Polan's new project has him drawing a person in New York every day. By emailing him your whereabouts on any given day, you have a chance of being drawn and displayed on his site. Another lovely example of how websites are increasingly giving people an outlet to be "anonymously famous."
I've been thinking a lot lately how the evolution of websites has moved so rapidly from simple user interactions (think web game banners where you try to hit a monkey w/ a mallet) to involving the user in a very personal and intimate way (think Uniqlo's latest Utweet campaign goes into your twitter and makes a mini music vid using your and your friend's tweets and icons).
Just in looking at the campaigns that are currently gaining a lot of traction, feel like the next wave in viral marketing will be videos/websites that makes the user the star vs. just a participant. After all, who doesn't want their 15 minutes of fame?
