Ad Icons Personified
So yesterday I was continuing my eternal search for the most epic, original and slightly inapropriate Halloween costume. I landed on the Orbit Gum Girl. It will give me an excuse to talk like a Brit, bleach my hair and call people lint lickers all night.
Instead of searching on Halloween costume sites (boooring) I went to advertising icon ones. Except they were all of animated characters or people dressed up in creepy outfits. No thanks. Where are the real people?
So I watched some good ol' television for some inspo - here's my favs:
Mac and PC guys: Lindsay's called dibs.
Paul from Verizon.
Subway's Jared.
Geico's Caveman. Alright that falls into the creepy category.
Other favs?

I loves it. Orbit girl is an amazing idea. How about?
-Brawny man
-iPod shadow people
-the BK king
Is Ronald McDonald real?
Reminds me of a GREAT viral campaign for Volkswagen featuring a comedian's character in driving school. Hard to explain in a comment. Maybe worth a post?
-The Jolly Green Giant (only because we know who created him.)
-Snuggle the Bear (slightly creepy)
-One of those Charmin Bears (complete with toilet paper flecks sticking to their cute little bottoms)
-The Berries and Cream Creepy Guy from the Skittles ads
-Wendy
-The Welch's Grape Juice Little Girl (go around smacking your lips all night)
-The Pepsi Girl (go around lip synching to Aretha Franklin singing the Pepsi theme song)

does this contest involve me winning and you buying me beer?
It gets you a birthday beer!
PS, the Orbit gum girl is the bane of my existence after that damn thesis.
