Nike #MakeitCount Campaign Where Sweat is Currency

noreply@blogger.com (Word Fashionista) — Sun, 13 May 2012 13:55:00 +0000

New Nike campaign, "Make it Count", turns human sweat into currency and possibly a runner participant into the owner of a new pair of Nike shoes.

JWT Mexico has created a new experience as a part of Nike’s global #makeitcount campaign– an auction for Nike products that uses ‘sweat,’ not money, as currency. The campaign promotes (and uses!) Nike +, the popular program that tracks a user’s runs through their smart phones, iPod nanos, or sports watches.
The Nike + auction, a Facebook app, relies on synced Nike + data (every Nike + user has to have an account, which automatically syncs runs) to assign runners their auction credits- the more kilometers runners have logged, the more buying power they have in the auction.

Big Menswear Selections Historically Slim

noreply@blogger.com (Word Fashionista) — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 04:05:00 +0000

At the turn of the twenty-first century, clothing manufacturers reassessed women's and girls sizes and shapes, adjusting production standards for the new millenium, but, men were still neglected. Worse, clothing manufacturers had not conducted careful measurement studies for men or women since the end of World War II. Apparently, plants had to be retooled for peacetime production not much attention was paid to the large sized man and certainly not to his clothing. So, how did big & tall men remain outfitted?

Although a few specialty merchants cater to big and tall men in the nation’s largest cities, and a few of them do a brisk mail-order business, the first retail chain devoted exclusively to big men did not open in the United States until 1991. Most men found a few “outsized” items in dim corners of the biggest retail and discount stores but that was luck. They generally found very few styles in very few extra large sizes, and the majority of “haberdashers” could not fit or advise them where to turn to purchase new wardrobe additions. Major catalog merchants offered more choices and better goods, but most big-and-tall men had to settle for “universal” styles and colors—medium lapels on their jackets, which came only in black, brown, or navy. Even gray was considered somewhat exotic in big men’s fashions until the Internet and eCommerce came into fashion in the fashion industry.

“Average” is not the average any more.

In the last several years, however, the industry has begun catching-up with consumers; and researchers have found that men are taller, stouter, and generally more muscular than they were sixty years ago so manufacturers decided its time clothes meet the growing market demand. Among men, “average” used to mean 5’10” and about 180 pounds. Now, the “average” man measures a little over 6 feet tall, and he tips the scales at just over 200 pounds. “Medium” sizes fit men at the lowest end of the measurement scale, and XXL no longer works for the nation’s biggest men. Still, not all stores have kept pace with the trend but Big Mans USA does.

Where do big men shop for the best clothing and male fashions?

Although the offering for big and tall men are better than ever before, brick-and-mortar stores for larger customers remain rare. Discerning shoppers find the extra-large clothing they want at online merchants who cater exclusively to their needs. Among the online merchants, BigMansUSA stands-out as one of the best, because it carries name brand clothing in the full array of sizes, and the buyers pay special attention to stocking sizes 2XL and larger. BigMansUSA understands its clientele, and its associates assure exemplary customer service whether a man buys a few t-shirts or a whole new wardrobe.

As Fashionistas, we don't mind if it rains in April because we are well acquainted with May flowers. And, we may seem a bit foolish in proclaiming this but we think April birthdays are best of all months. Mind you, Fashionistas may not read or even believe in horoscopes but we still love April best of all. For the record, we dare say, every female and Fashionista we know -both male and female- agree we envy those of you born during the month preceding the month of May.
You may think we are a bit materialistic and we definitely agree but perhaps you need reminding of just why Fashionistas everywhere agree that April is the most envious month of all in our calendar....
Have you figured out why we so love this month?
Here's a huge hint...

Diamond's are a girls best friend.

That's right, April's birthstone is diamond and we love big white, perfect cut and clarity diamonds.

Haute Causes in Dallas

noreply@blogger.com (Word Fashionista) — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 01:01:00 +0000

Fashion Designers come in many different varieties and are as individual as you and I, however, no matter how different everyone seems to enjoy a good party. No matter what the cause or case it seems celebrating has been a human tradition since the beginning of time. For instance, in the United States, we have Federal Holidays and State and local holiday traditions we honor. In addition, around the globe we have International holidays such as Christmas, New Years, Easter and more. These are holidays we have in common with those unfamiliar to us. Within our immediate and extended families we have birthdays, anniversaries, and even some not so fun-filled events such as funerals that cause us to come together as a group in acknowledging another. In Dallas recently, D Magazine covered an event called DIFFA, a benefit for the AIDS foundation and people seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their celebrity and for an excellent cause. Word Fashionista particularly likes the event signage, Smoking Haute" and find it really 'suited' to the occasion.

Are You Seeing Things?

noreply@blogger.com (Word Fashionista) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:42:00 +0000

Pareidolia is defined as a psychological phenomenon in which something remote, vague and possibly unrelated is perceived as significant to a human viewer. Typically, the term is associated with an incorrect

and sometimes even an imaginatively accurate interpretation associated with a human facial features.

According to a post published 1/31/2010, oddee.com, humans are conditioned from birth to recognize

and associate human facial features from a distance and under low lighting type conditions to identify other human faces in some type of mental cross reference. This can lead many of us to identify and associate even inanimate objects and geophysical type land marks with that of a human face. This post suggests there is an entire blog devoted to the exploration of pareidolia. That blog is titled, 'Faces in Places'.

Books: Texting in Historical Context

noreply@blogger.com (Word Fashionista) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:16:00 +0000

Professor Examines Texting in Historical Context
Hate Twitter? Plato Felt the Same Way About the Written Word.

Salon recently interviewed Dennis Baron, a professor at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Baron's new book "A Better Pencil" aims to put Facebook, Google, and texting into a historical context in order to show that social media isn't ruining the world. The idea is that as communication evolves, there's always fear that the new tools are irreversibly harming the way we interact. Below are complaints that surfaced in response to past communication strategies:

Written Word: Plato warned that writing things down causes people to lose the ability to remember. He also complained that the written words are not interactive - rather, they are shadows of the things that they represent.
Telegraph: Thoreau objected arguing that even though it speeds things up, people won't have anything to say to each other.
Telephone: Samuel Morse (inventor of the telegraph) complaining that nothing important will ever be done by telephone because there's no way to preserve/record the conversation.
Typewriters: Critics complained that the keys made writing too mechanical and distanced writers from their work. They argued that writers who continued to use a pen and pencil would be more directly connected with the page.
