Don’t Forget Your Goat Leggings!

Joelle said in the early morning on March 24, 2008

While doing a search on iStock this morning for “clock” + “white background” for a client project, I was offered up this gem about twelve pages in.

After doing a bit of soul searching, I can’t possibly find an instance in which I’d want a chick dressed like the lovechild of Avril Lavigne and Koko the Gorilla holding a big Flava Flav Flavor Flav clock. In fact, there’s a whole series in case you require different poses.

I’ve gotten some specific requests in my time, but this takes the cake.  What company / blog / campaign / slogan / whatever could you possibly be designing for in which this image would be appropriate? 

Go.

I do believe she’s exhibiting the fact that she didn’t have time to shave her legs this a.m.

According to Flavor of Love 3, it’s actually spelled “Flavor Flav”, and he really hates it when his name is misspelled.  He also hates it when you touch his face, anywhere but there. 

Ok, um.  So if there was a blog called “Hot Mess of WTF” ... I might put this one in the lightbox.

@chepooka: clearly I’m not up on my Flav.  lol.  “Hot Mess of WTF” might need to be my new tagline…

The only thing I can think of is Geico using these as the female version of their Cavemen for future advertisement, but I’m really not certain why they would be carrying a giant clock around.  You’re so right… this combo is just WEIRD!

I dunno, I think I’d use it for a PSA: “Parents, please make time for your kids. Sit down with them and talk about how it’s not necessary to imitate celebrities like Britney Spears and King Kong just to be popular. Do it for the children.”

...Coming up this season on “What Not To Wear"…

...It’s time to dress your age not your IQ…

It could work for a consignment style clothing store - “It’s time to recycle those old fads.”

Or how about a web design campaign - “You wouldn’t trust her to pick out your wardrobe...why choose just anyone to design your website?”

I’m having a flashback to Dragnet with Dan Akroyd and Tom Hanks.
