Old School Wrestling (OSW)
On the internet, there is no shortage of resources for fans of professional wrestling. There is a majority that are distinctly American in their perspective, often marred by nostalgia. Save for the UK’s WrestletalkTV, the viewpoint of wrestling fans outside of the US is minimal. Fortunately, …

Cover Girl Queen Collection Lipsticks (magazine ad)
There is no better spokeswoman than Queen Latifah—to market the Queen Collection lipsticks. I imagine that this line of cosmetics was renamed specifically with this woman in mind. She is a great spokesmodel because she doesn’t exactly fit the traditional mold of someone who models for …
Kohl’s Clothing Love Revolution (TV commercial)

Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park (Hilfiger magazine ad)
At first glance, I really assumed that the pretty blonde model in this ad had one leg submerged in water. It was not until I looked closely that I realized that the camera angle is what was responsible for the optical illusion. The woman is featured …
1-800-GEEKSQUAD (magazine ad)
I have always been fascinated with the idea that you can call a little number when you’re having computer issues, and a licensed professional will come right over and help you with all your ills. I have seen the Volkswagen beetles with the black, white, and orange labels …
