Favorite Holiday Ad Campaigns: Janelle Monáe on Gap.com/merrymixit Comments

Janelle Monáe is one of my favorite new artist. She incredibly talented, with a unique sound and a sort of theatrical quality that sets her apart from the rest of pop. Naturally I was rather surprised to see her on a Gap.com/merrymixit online ad. I was surprised enough to even clicked on it. I never click on online ads. I’ve seen ads for Gap.com/merrymixit all around New York City for weeks but it wasn’t until I saw Janelle that I finally clicked through Gap’s new holiday campaign. I liked it. I liked it a lot. It’s basically a collection of videos featuring cool celebrities performing their own take of traditional Christmas carols. The videos are short, well produced and funny. They all look very cute in their Gap holiday get-ups, like colorful snow bunnies.

UPDATE: I just realized this video is on auto-play. Not cool Gap! This is my blog, not a MySpace profile.

Girl loses virginity, accidentally texts dad….Ouch Comments


I’ve had bad experiences texting naughty messages to the wrong people (“where are you baby I want you” to my boss at 3am) but this is so bad. Poor girl. There should be a feature on the iPhone that prompts you, “Do you REALLY want to send this message” for certain contacts.

Have you ever send a juicy message to the wrong contact? Do tell…
