Lowe Roche Holiday Buttons
I received these great holiday buttons from Lowe Roche Toronto with the statement; "Because in this magical time of goodwill and cheer, it's easy to lose sight of what makes this season truly special: controversy." Very funny.

Fly Porter
I flew with Porter today from from Toronto's Island Airport to Ottawa to spend the day with my parents. It was $69 each way (plus taxes) & a completely enjoyable experience. On top of the convenience, only 1.5 hours from my door to my parent's door, it's also so aesthetically pleasing with branding by Winkreative, uniforms by Pink Tartan & new Q400 aircrafts with Swiss leather interiors.

Belgium Bans Smoking in Restaurants
As an avid anti-smoker, I'm pleased to hear that smoking is being banned In Belgium, as of January 1st, in all establishments that serve food. Here is an interesting PSA produced to "promote" the ban. It's a little long, but good none the less. Scooped from Coolz0r where there is an interesting editorial/rant.

The E-Z Answer Squirrel is making its way around the internet & major news stations. Here is the United Church of Canada's print portion of the campaign. Very nice & "un-churchy" as described by the agency Smith Roberts.

Straight 8
The Straight 8 2007 event is now officially open for entries. Straight 8 is a simple principle: one super 8mm cartridge, no editing. I went to a screening of some of the 2006 films here in Toronto last year. My favourites were Blockhead & The Autobahn Poet.

Glossy Xmas Wish List
Yes, I'm shamelessly dropping hints for Xmas presents on my blog. I used to have a collection of 48 New Order & Joy Division albums. Sadly, they are no longer in my possession (I'm in therapy over their loss). But here is a book, Factory Records: The Complete Graphic Album, that has all of their glorious covers. Someone, please get it for me & put me out of my misery.

The Ivy Coat Rack
I love this Ivy coat rack inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright quote; “A doctor can always bury his mistakes. An architect can only advise his client to plant ivy.” I found it on The Ad Feed & I really want one. More info on it here (pssstt...someone please get me one for xmas).

Go On. Go Out.
Director Julian Pugsley made these two spots last summer upon realizing he had an addiction to an electric fly swatter. Time Out London loved them so much that they used them to promote their London On Screen Film Festival. The actor for Lotion was discovered by Pugsley after the casting session as he drove by a strip mall. Sorry, I have no interesting facts about Nails. Editorial by Owen Plotkin at the now corporation.

ACLC ADvent
Today I received a "Christmas Card" from ACLC Toronto in the form of an advent calendar. I really enjoyed it so I snapped some shots to share (the glossy paper gave me a really hard time -- reflecting light). At the moment, I really wish it included some booze filled chocolates.

Hello from sunny Curaçao. I'm having a lovely holiday -- the weather is fantastic, the snorkeling is amazing & I have not turned my mobile on in three days (record). If you have been trying to reach me...sorry. Here are some pictures of my trip so far.

I'm in Curacao until Monday, December 11th. I may take some time away from snorkeling, sunning & swimming to post some pictures. I'm staying at the Hotel Kura Hulanda Spa & Casino where I've vacationed once before & had an amazing time. All the best, Shannon.

Ali G Produces Shout Viral
This spot, titled Rescue Mission, is hilarious & I really love that Shout has decided to go in this direction. How much more entertaining is this than watching Kelly Rippa with a Tide To Go stick? Produced by Ali G (she's a San Francisco-based line producer - I couldn't resist the headline) & directed by Richard Sears of GREENDOT Films. Here is a still from the shoot.
