The Creative Bridge

There are no words. 

Actually there are… because if I don’t explain to you that this is just a concept model you’ll all be running around screaming ‘GIMMEONENOW!!!’ I would be.

I have to have a moment alone daydreaming of working on this.

*Sits back and closes eyes. Woaaaaah… cool.

This is way too good. 

This is very sweet. 

There are a lot of hidden underwater hazards. But you’re safe with “Fisherman” rubber boots.

Yum, yum, yum.

“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.”

This is worth watching. Makes you think about how bad you really want something, doesn’t it? 

Have an awesome weekend everyone. 

I must be subconsciously be going for some ‘arts n’ crafts’ theme at the moment. Maybe it’s a sign I need to start sewing again? Maybe, I too, need to take up ‘crochetdermy’.

This is was UK-based artist Shauna Richardson does. She even came up with the term herself.

Crochetdermy. Taxidermy. Geddit?

She develops life-size animals through the process of crocheting. Her pieces are made with materials like coarse wools such as mohair mixes, glass eyes, reproduction claws… all that fun stuff you would usually have just lying around the house.

It takes her months to complete… but what a result. Some of you might find them completely tacky - but I love them.

Her website isn’t working right this second - but maybe try it out later: http://shaunarichardson.com/

When I think of cross-stitching I think about my Grandy (Grandmother) who used to drag me along her her damn sewing clubs. Wait, saying it like that is mean. I enjoyed it. I just didn’t like that the other women there smelt like moth balls and I feared my Grandy would turn into one of them.

I remember we would go shopping for shoes and I would tell her ‘If you EVER buy those UGLY shoes with all that cushioning I will stop talking to you. So… How about these fire-engine red high heels?’ She had the killer-legs to flaunt such shoes. Bitch. 

This cross-stitching on the other hand is cool.

This is the shit those walking moth balls should have been working on.

Keep young. Stay cool. And check them out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/weelittlestitches?ref=seller_info

They’re not even expensive. You know what… I’m gonna buy one. 

A video guaranteed to make woman feel good about themselves. 

I’m happy to admit I’m a sucker when it comes to horoscopes, psychics… all that jazz. Yeah, yeah shaddup. You may sit there and laugh but I have some stories that even make the non-believers spine tingle.

Which is why when I found this site I thought ‘cool’: http://www.psychictees.com/

I wanted to buy one of these ‘Psychic Tees’. Until I saw that the t-shirts are 100 pounds. That is the currency. Not weight. I just can’t find the little icon for it.

It all seems very cool. Until I watched the video on it. She was doing readings on some of the other t-shirts had been purchased. She was holding one saying ‘This woman will be a good Mother because she is very childlike herself’… I thought ‘Yeah. That could be me.’ She also said a few more points that could relate to me.

I’m not dissing the predictions. It just started making me think about the power of suggestion and what one is willing to believe.

Check out the campaign to raise money for Age UK. A charity for those a little further into their futures than ours.

I call this piece: Looking for work in Sydney, Australia.

So, these are some of my favorite agency names. There are lots I like. These are just a few. How I would love to tell someone ‘I work at Taxi’… I mean especially it being in New York.

Do I know Robert Di Nero? Yeah. I know him. What’s it to you? You got a problem? Do I need to call him? I said… Do I need… To call him? No. We’re good? Good.
*Flicks cigarette butt.

Ha. I’m not even tough like that.

There are actually lots of other agency names I would like to work at. In Sydney. You see, I’m moving up there. Was that a smooth segway? I tried.

My partner moved up there recently for a new job he scored at the end of last year – so now I’m looking. Every morning, noon and night for jobs. I’m pretty much raping recruiters and creative directors e-mails. But that’s ok… they’re happy to chat. And I think they appreciate the enthusiasm.

But if you’re a creative director who’s reading this you can find out more about me on www.bridgetemmerson.com
