2 ADS

(Dolce & Gabbana; Burger King)

In the Dolce & Gabbana advertisement it seems that the model is Madonna and she is washing dishes.  While washing dishes, she is wearing a dress from Dolce & Gabbana. I think the company sends the message that even housewives can wear that brand. I don’t really like how this ad was set up because it isn’t really relevant to how expensive the dress is. She is (semi) striking a pose while rinsing a plate. If the ad didn’t have the clothing logo I would have thought it was for Madonna’s CD or something along those lines.

In this Burger King advertisement it has a women dressed up as a gladiator (?) with spatulas, pans, a gigantic whisk and pan lids on her shoulders. She must be a huge cooking fan. I would see these types of ads in a magazine, a newspaper, and I think also mail in deals. I would advertise this in the restaurant. I think that the message on the ad means that they are the best for lunch food rather than their competitors.

MY SIX WORDS IN TWO LANGUAGES!

Something about me is that I'm really into Astrology. I am a believer. I was born July 7th which makes me a CANCER! Yes a sensitive, shy, attached to the past creature. Well, not a plain creature, a sea creature! A CRAB! An interesting fact about people born under Cancer is that we are Moon Children. This means that the Moon is our ruling planet. I know, "the moon isn't a planet!" I don't know what to tell you, I asked the same thing. But anyways, I based my six words on my Astrology sign: Cancer. Here it goes... in Italian and English!

La luna mi ha fatto cosi'

The moon made me this way

In the near future these six words (in Italian) will become a part of me (aka my skin). When I feel down, I remember these words and I continue to be the positive me.

Better Late Than Never

Wanna know something that grinds MY grears?! How's about LOSING your laptop's wall charger somewhere around SRJC campus and when you want to use it, you have 10 minutes to use it. Thank goodness for friends with the same brand!

Anyways;; here's my review on "Faceless on Facebook" by Kate Beals.



Raise your hand if you have a Facebook! *Raised my hand!!* I have to be honest, when I first made my Facebook, I was totally going insane in the About Me section. I wanted my old friends to "like" me. It seemed like the author was going through the same thing. The difference between the author and myself is that she couldn't stand the pressure and she didn't want to seem fake.

Facebook is a place to stay connected whether it be long distance or not. For myself, I use FB to keep in touch with my family in Mexico. From what the author has said, she was pressured to have an account because her close friends had one. There really isn't a point for her to have a Facebook if she only wants one because her friends want one.

WHY DOES FACEBOOK DO THIS?! Because of social pressure. Great...
