In its first use of a celebrity spokesmodel, designer jeans grand daddy Jordache has signed a deal with Hollywood actress Brittany Murphy, 27, to appear in the company’s ad campaign, shot by famed photographer Patrick Demarchelier on an estate in Hariman, New York. Jordache hopes to breathe new life into the 30 year old brand that rose to popularity in the 70’s. The campaign will break in September.

UPDATE: In Comments, Linda gives us a bit more background on the minds behind this campaign. Funny how press releases leave out so much information. Anyway, she wrote: “The creative mojo behind this campaign is ink&co, the hyper-cool SOHO agency that’s done everything from re-fashion the L’eggs egg to design ALL the signage stuff for 7thonSixth every fashion season for the last 14, to creating CURVATION (that brand of VF Intimates with Queen Latifah as its voice), to creating the look and feel of the soon-to-be-released hit video poker game ‘STACKED with Daniel Negreanu’. Sam Sohaili’s winning ink&co creative even beat out BBDO and that other Sam (Shahid)… quite the coup. But wanna know the biggest behind-the-scenes surprise? Sam turned out to be one of those Redford-esque ‘horse whisperers’… who the hell knew?! Sam…what else can you do???”

Research suggests the generation of self-taught workers now retiring is the last generation for whom autodidactic learning carried genuine economic power — they could enter industries without credentials, rise without degrees, and build without permission, and the closure of those pathways through credentialism means the kind of mind that built most of the infrastructure we depend on is being systematically excluded from building what comes next

I’m 73 and the most disorienting moment of my life wasn’t widowhood or retirement, it was standing in a restaurant being asked what I’d like to order and realizing I’d spent so many decades eating what was easiest, cheapest, or what everyone else wanted that I genuinely didn’t know what I liked anymore, and that small moment at a menu contained the entire story of how I lost myself

I’m 73 and widowed and the hardest part isn’t the silence at night. It’s Sunday mornings, when the whole world seems organized around pairs and families and I’m standing in a coffee shop trying to look like someone who chose to be alone rather than someone whose person simply isn’t coming back.
