Smirnoff Gives Lost Stars Fresh Play, Children Point and Laugh

Smirnoff Ice’s Save the Mistletoe is an amusingly long-way-around attempt to say Smirnoff brings people together (just like mistletoe – so stop ravaging innocent bushes).

While we remain unmoved by the plight of the sprig, the execution wins us over. By some curious witch magic the campaign features celebrity supporters that we thought were long dead or had found joy in covert day jobs. Natalie from The Facts of Life, Lisa Turtle from Saved by the Bell, Tiffany who crooned “I Think We’re Alone Now” and even the Soup Nazi band together to protect the kissing plant from further appropriation by brute force.

That’s not all. Kevin at PR Blog divulges having seen a swamp-like creature that was actually supposed to be mistletoe, getting heckled by children at a nearby ice rink for love of the campaign. We wonder which sponsoring celebrity burn-out he happened to be. We put our money on The Incredible Hulk.

I asked three people I trusted at 66 to tell me honestly what I did that made conversations with me feel harder than they should, and the answers were specific and consistent and deeply uncomfortable and I spent about a month being defensive about them before I understood that the discomfort I felt receiving honest feedback was itself one of the things on the list

The worry that you’ve left something at home is almost never about the thing. It’s about a mind that was trained to believe safety requires perfect attendance, that relaxation is just the space between mistakes, and that the moment you stop checking is the moment everything you’ve been holding together quietly comes undone

I’m 65 and I look and feel younger than I did at 55 and the honest explanation is that I said goodbye to three things in my late 50s—a friendship that had been a slow drain for a decade, a habit of catastrophising every night before sleep, and the belief that my worth was connected to how useful I was to everyone around me—and my face apparently had opinions about all three
