Fitness brand Equinox has once again hooked up with photographer Terry Richardson to shoot the brand's 2013 ad campaign. The campaign, shot at the Pierre Koenig Stahl House in Hollywood Hills is said to "voyeuristically capture a moment made possible by the Equinox-powered body."
So the takeaway? If you work out at Equinox, you can look hot walking up stairs in high heels, slink across a pool table in a sexy cocktail dress, peer knowingly into the camera while laying on a bed as a headless hottie stands over you and strike a starter block pose naked while yet another impossibly hot woman drapes herself over your back.
See? Staying fit dertainly does have its benefits, right?
Richardson's work for the brand's 2012 campaign came under fire for degrading women.

During the run-up to Christmas, the State of Kentucky (rather Whit Hiler of Cornett-IMS and Griffin VanMeter of Bullhorn in an unofficial capacity) released a video that summarized the state's rebranding from Unbridled Spirit (which the video humorously slams) to Kicks Ass. Yes, one of our fine 50 states is being encouraged to adopt the tagline Kicks Ass. And you know what? In some weird way, it kinda works. Or at least it's kinda funny. Or something like that.
The video includes appearances by Reddit's Alex Ohanian, Fark's Drew Curtis, Animal Planet's Animal Man and several others.

Ever been at a party or a family event when certain people just won't shut the hell up? They insist upon endlessly prattling on about the most idiotic and mundane aspects of their sorry lives. It's as if these people haven't learned the art of introspection and contemplation.
So thank you, KFC, for getting these people to shut the hell up. OK, the kid version is a little cute.

If it is, then Torontao-based Open has a new product for you. It's called Mae by Damiva and, apparently, it's the vaginal moisturizer you've always wanted.
Open created the identity, branding, product naming, package design and POP poster campaign for Damiva and its products (there will also be a skin moisturizer), and the ad campaign that includes the headlines "drier than a British comedy" and "enough beating around the bush."
Mae by Damiva is named after Mae West who was jailed for her Broadway play, Sex. The second product in development, "Frida by Damiva", is a facial cream to prevent excess facial hair growth and is named after the Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo.
The name Damiva, itself, is a combination of "Dame" and "Diva". Have at it, ladies.

A couple years ago, the town of Leavenworth, Washington gave us Woody Goomsba, a puppet-like dude who, along with a bevy of super hot, Dirndle-clad dancers, amped up the Bavarian-themed destination.
Today, we have work from Haberman for New Ulm, Minnesota which introduces Hermann the German, a bobble-headed dude who, without a bevy of super hot, Dirndle-clad dancers, amps up the Bavarian (German)-themed destination.
