Oprah, Bono Appear At Gap’s (Product) Red Promotion

Michael Shostack was in Chicago today and stopped by the Gap’s (Product_ RED) promotion at its store on Ohio and Michigan. He wasn’t too impressed with the promotion reporting the throngs of people had but about five seconds to view celebs Oprah Winfrey and Bono from far across the other side of the street behind barricades. In the early Chicago cold weather today wasn’t enough, that five second view was blocked by an army of red jacket-wearing Gap employees who lined up in front of the stores entrance, blocking what little view there was of Oprah and Bono as they made their way from their cars to the strore’s entrance. Blocked view or not, Michael did snap a pretty good shot of the pair as they made their way inside, commenting Orpah looked very, very tiny. Check out his full coverage of the event here along with additional photos.

Psychology says adults who can’t sit still during phone conversations aren’t anxious — they learned early that their body language was the only part of communication they could fully control, and removing that channel creates a disorientation they have to physically compensate for

The quietest people in most families are almost never quiet because they have nothing to say. They went quiet because they said something important once, it was dismissed or corrected, and they decided the cost of speaking wasn’t worth the possibility of being unheard again

Psychology says the freedom that childless couples experience in midlife carries a hidden cost. Without the natural structure that children impose on time, weekends, holidays, and decades, they must generate their own sense of purpose continuously, and that ongoing act of self-creation is both the privilege and the exhaustion nobody warns them about.
