OMG I LOVE ART, TOO!

latimes:
“Earlier this week U by Kotex launched a collaborative contest with costume designer Patricia Field, inviting people to redesign the maxi pad,” says Deborah Netburn. “Ridiculous marketing ploy? Clearly. But if you check out the 600-plus colorful maxi pad submissions the company has collected on its website since Monday and don’t find yourself coveting at least some of them, you are a stronger woman than I.”

Please make in shark design.
Other ideas:
The horse head scene from The Godfather.
A hipster version with a "retro" belt attached.
Officially licensed Tina Fey pads.
Officially licensed Alexander McQueen one with a trompe l'oeil vadge.

Yours?

    No no no no no you did NOT just say shark design. My law, that is the funniest thing I've heard all week.

    This is hilarious. Completely nuts but not nearly as crazy as a RE-USABLE pad or MENSTRUAL CUP that is being suggested by some for sustainability. OY. I will do my part in other ways. Viva la tampon!

    When I saw this, I gave a huge smile. This is a cute idea.

    Incorporating art in pads? May sound absurd but real cute.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC.
