Imagine a social network that is like one giant sorority: This is what Alexandra Chong has been building over the past 6 months since launching Luluvise. Her platform, defines itself as a space dedicated to “girl time, all the time”, and attempts to re-create the patterns of close female friendship online. [Read more...]

What do Sex and the City and Kotex have in common?
Emmy-winning and Oscar-nomiated fashion designer, Patricia Field.
Kotex has been through a bit of rebranding in the past year after survey results found that women were tired of the institutional experience of pads.
Ditching the stereotypical white and sterile product packaging, Kotex opted in favor of more bold colors and sleek black casing.
The new packaging has separated Kotex from the competition, and their latest contest is set to do the same.

Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent are two brands synonymous with luxury.
Both are fabulous in their own right and very coveted by women all over the world including the most famous of celebrities.
So why would YSL blatantly take Christian Louboutin‘s signature red sole and put it on their shoes?
In my opinion, if YSL was trying to take on the genious of the red sole and apply it to their line, maybe a good suggestion could be a different color?
Yves Saint Laurent has already dabbled with this idea using the very vibrant color yellow and I like it!
It definitely gives the shoe a certain trendy style that resembles that of Christian Louboutin’s signature look. [Read more...]

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. [Read more...]

The ladies of Sex & the City are known for their unique, trendy and exclusive fashion sense. But with good clothes, shoes and makeup, must come good hair.
Each of these ladies had many wardrobe changes during the filming of the much anticipated Sex & the City 2, however, one theme remains the same: their hair reflects their individual personalities!

If there’s one thing that springs to mind when you mention Sex and the City, it’s fashion. Over the top, completely indulgent, fabulous fashion.
Over six seasons and two movies, the show has had a mega influence on style. It’s had us all drooling in envy for must haves like Manolo Blahnik stilettos, the Hermes Birkin bag (remember when Samantha used Lucy Liu’s name to get on top of the waiting list?), the iconic name necklace and huge flower accessories.
Sex and the City 2, the sequel we never believed was coming, premieres next week.
In honour of the release, let’s look back at [Read more...]
Dudes and dudettes, seriously W.T.F.
Is there not one, single Sex & the City 2 movie poster or promotional image out there that hasn’t been Photoshopped beyond recognition?
At least with the first film (above), there was some sort of continuity with the brand, the women and well pink. Now [Read more...]
second poster
Lots of women across the United States are getting geared up to get “Carried Away” this summer with the release of the HBO franchise, Sex & the City, in the second film installment of the popular television show.
Well, it seems like the graphic design team got carried away too because the third poster stinks as much as the first one did in some not so smart photoshopping. I’m sorry, but I don’t think Adobe ever intended Photoshop to be used in such a deplorable fashion.
It’s no secret, that [Read more...]
****** UPDATE: Monday February 22, 2010
I had an interesting conversation with Mr. Cheban & Mr. Huck in this order…
Read for yourselves. It was unsolicited, as I never contacted them directly, until I replied to a person who tweeted me including Mr. Cheban and Mr. Huck into my tweet.
Also, I’d like to mention some things since this is apparently now a topic of conversation: I know the show is for entertainment, but I don’t appreciate how it makes my industry, my degree and the field I work in look to people on the ‘outside.’ Nor do I appreciate how it makes women in public relations appear to be nothing more than far lesser versions of poor Samantha Jones-types from ‘Sex & the City’ with the brains of a Karen Smith from ‘Mean Girls.’

You need ‘experience’ to pass out bottles of water, short black mini-skirts topped off with neon pink jackets, the keen ability to know not to put mustard in your boss’ sandwich and 4-inch stilettos to work in public relations…that is according to the ghastly new E! reality television show SPINdustry produced by Kim Kardashian.

Carrie On or Get Carried Away…again. Whatever. All the new promo stuff for Sex & the City has me in a foul mood because it’s so bad.
Right, so, I hate the new promo poster with Sarah Jessica Parker behind what seems like a bunch of ghetto reflects & her bug eye shades. It’s gross and so not SATC. What could have been really cool, looks really lame. [Read more...]

All the Partying in the USA must have popped a few brain cells and Disney needs to send in the PR fixers because Miley Cyrus is a branding disaster.
Recently, she opened her mouth to talk about her fashion line with BCBG-God Max Azria to Seventeen Magazine,
“We look into fashion designs very much in advance. We started the plaid shirts and the cheetah pants before people started seeing it [on runways]. When you first look at it as a designer, you think Okay, this is going to be a little crazy. But you don’t know what’s going to be in in a year like Max [Azria] does. Max looks at other designers, and you know it’s very advanced. He’s got the inside scoop.” - Miley Cyrus (source)
I promised myself I wouldn’t blog about tweeny drama and then I read The Cut‘s November 20, 2009 snippet on Miley Cyrus and flashes of bad branding, bad publicity and just bad everything swirled into my brain. gah.
I’m sorry did I miss the memo?
I thought Kurt Cobain [Read more...]

UPDATE February 17, 2010
The new reality show is called SPINdustry (which I find insulting to true PR pros), it’ll be on E! television network and will premiere after the upcoming season finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians
***
If all you need is a sex tape filled with some golden showers, a mock radio-drug saddler and a good makeup artist to make yourself famous, proving to the world you are “somebody,†then I guess the Kardashian household is full of “superstars.â€
Didn’t you hear? Kimmie wants to produce a reality television show with Command PR about….wait for it….public relations! [Read more...]
