If Skechers President Leonard Armato said, “I had to take a cold shower” after seeing a sneak peak of his new Super Bowl ad featuring Kim Kardashian, we’re going to assume the ad’s pretty hot. That or Armato hasn’t been out in a long time.

Following last year’s last minute participation in the Super Bowl with :15’s featuring Joe Montana, Kardashian will be front and center in the ad for the brand’s Shape-Ups line of footwear.

Of his selection of Kardashian for spokeswoman, Armato told Advertising Age, “There was never any kind of an endorsement relationship between her and any other footwear company. She never put her name behind anyone’s product. There’s a difference between attending an event you’re invited to and actually vouching for a product, which she does for us and I’m very comfortable with that.”

I stayed with my daughter and her family for what I thought would be two weeks after my knee surgery, and by week three I noticed she had stopped making eye contact with me at breakfast — the silence taught me more about boundaries than any conversation ever could

My wife and I haven’t shared a bed in seven years — not because we stopped loving each other, but because I finally admitted that intimacy and sleep are two entirely different needs and pretending otherwise was destroying both
