Really happy.

Like Sasha Muradali, I am a huge Mad Men fan.
I love the storyline, the characters, the old days of advertising, the three martini lunches, and the clothes…oh the clothes!
While, I love the series, the first episode of this season really rubbed me the wrong way.
{Spoiler alert: If you’re not yet watching season four, stop reading now!}
If you are, however, caught up and saw the first show of this season, you’ll remember Pete fretting to Peggy about losing the Sugarberry Ham account. more…

Love should not hurt. Yet bad romances seem to be as common in this world as the ones true romantic stories as made from.
In his new controversial music video, “Love the Way You Lie,” Eminem depicts a glance into his relationship with his two-time, ex-wife Kim Mathers.
Starring Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan, the video seamlessly intertwines love and violence. The video opens with a couple (Monaghan and Fox) sleeping peacefully together. Next, they are violently fighting, tossing bed sheets around and the viewers see Fox’s character overpowered into early submission. Later, the couple is seen pressed up against a wall, where the man punches his fist into it, before they break into a passionate kiss.
The entire time scenes like this go on throughout the video, Rihanna sings the chorus which includes the phrase, “That’s all right because I like the way it hurts.”
Lady GaGa made a hit single out of bad romances, this is the fourth number one hit single for Em, and seventh for Rihanna — but is this really alright? more…

![HS%20Burberry3 INTERVIEW with Tanc Sade: More Than a Half Way Trip to Ukraine [VIDEO]](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_2btO2nKpQl4/TFrNrI97AgI/AAAAAAAAEYA/XOgQULbIZ1A/s400/HS%20Burberry3.jpg "INTERVIEW with Tanc Sade: More Than a Half Way Trip to Ukraine [VIDEO]")
Born in Sydney, Australia with a knack for accents, charm and a witty sense of humor, handsome Tanc Sade is what more of Hollywood should be made of.
Forget about the obnoxious amounts of glitter, emphasis on shoes (to kitten heel, or not to kitten heel?) and dodgy personalities – bring back the creativity of film as an art form.
Best known for his role as ‘Finn’ in the WB’s Gilmore Girls, Tanc (pronounced [Tank] – “Yes, like the army vehicle,” he told me) is a clever man from Oz with a need to be inventive, more…

Don Draper
I love Don Draper.
No, not John Hamm (though he’s quite the looker), I love Don Draper.
He is this complex entity that has a handsome exterior laced with a lethal temper, dry wit, savvy wisdom and this keen ability to make the world work for him.
He’s the original AD man; he’s the quintessential of what makes the Mad Men.

In recent years, there has been a trend online and offline to make parodies of well-known entities. The idea has been to take the very best, the very worst, and the very ridiculous out of them, turning the new creations into hybrids built on well-intentioned humor.

Nike - The Future Has Been Written
Prior to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, sporting goods giant Nike, released a string of advertisements centered around something they called “Write the Future.”
It was more like Write the Fail, because it fell short, in more ways than one, regardless of its exceptional filming, A-List cast of footballers and truly inspirational message.
With the release of “The Future Has Been Written,” two weeks after the 2010 World Cup Final that Spain won against the Netherlands, it seems like the brand is trying to reestablish itself – except it’s quite hypocritical. more…

A week before it’s release date on May 7, 2010, I had heard Shakira’s anthem of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, “Waka Waka (It’s Time for Africa)” and I was obsessed.
I tweeted about it, I Facebooked it and I told everyone how I couldn’t stop singing it in my status on GChat. Around that time, a great PR connection named Casey, who happens to live (and is from) in South Africa, told me, while Shakira’s song was awesome, I was missing out.
“What? Why?” – I wanted to know.
“Because,” he told me, “we like ‘Wavin’ Flag.’”
It’s the anthem about ‘celebrating life‘ he had said; a people song.
Me? Social media and world music lover not knowing what this was? How? I am addicted to world news and culture.
Stunned and utterly confused, I went onto YouTube and my eyes opened to, what I now consider to be, one of the greatest songs I’ve more…

The Artist Formerly and Currently Known as Prince has always been known for his creative and often extreme tulle threads flowing through our world in a fashion only he could produce.
Purple, doves and some cinnamon were enough to earn him his crown with some cream on the side too. But lately, His Indecisiveness has lost all grip on reality because he cannot get an advance on his album from iTunes, has decided that he wants to sue YouTube and eBay (oddest choice ever) for copyright infringement, but apparently he also thinks the Internet is “over” too:- more…
