freedom.

Every now and then pop culture graces us with a gem and one of those gems came in the form of the movie Devil’s Advocate released in the late 90’s. This movie portrayed lawyers in a light similar to the way Boiler Room portrayed bankers, which is very frank to say the least. The story is much deeper than that however, and constantly pulls at the notion of free will and it’s incredible power.

While channel surfing the other day I stumbled on 10 Items or less and although I missed the first 15 minutes, thoroughly enjoyed this flick.  Morgan Freeman holds it down as himself, but the real star of the movie is Paz Vega, an actress that’s easy on the eyes to say the least.  I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

He predicted the credit crunch while fox news anchors/mannequins dared to laugh at him.  another reason to not watch fox news (As if one was needed.)

If your reading this and run your own label, kudos to you.  You of all people know how much effort goes into an apparel release.

The amount of time spent on details is what separates a decent brand from a great brand and that can be considered fairly common knowledge.  Therefore it takes a huge amount of time to prepare a release, especially when some of your vendors are located halfway around the world in places like Thailand and China.

Just know that your favorite brand is grinding.  There are no previews to show you yet, but we will be releasing some teasers in the spring/summer to give you a taste of what’s to come.

In the meanwhile come party with us on Thursday if your in San Diego.

The Innovate section of Businessweek is bursting at the seams with fresh slideshows, articles and tidbits of information that I just can’t seem to leave the site.

My favorite slideshow has to be the best buildings of 2008….and I thought where I worked was cool.
