They took the night.
March got crazy and the West Virginia Mountaineers made us all
proud. Still feeling bitter? Order a very special Duke tee at hatersports.com.
Poison TV.
The excessive advertising in the Lady Gaga and Beyonce's
#1 club anthem Telephone is far from subliminal. Since its release the video, which has little
relevance to the song, has been criticized and banned but I think it's just lovely. Gaga is the Madonna
for a new generation and Beyonce is identifiable by one letter. They may be two of the highest paid performers in the industry but advertising money never gets
old. Here's a lineup of the most obvious symbolism and brand exposure in Telephone:
Coca-Cola
/ cigarettes / Virgin Mobile / Polaroid / poison / Wonder Bread / Miracle Whip
Honorable mention to all the rappers (Ludacris, Fabolous) and singers
(Keri Hilson, T-Pain) shouting out Hennessy, Conjure, Nuvo, Grey Goose, Prada, Gucci, Chanel,
Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, Versace, Burberry, Tiffany's, Rolex,
Louis Vuitton.
Fruity Pebbles.

the style bar. From the annual festivals i.e. Coachella, Bonnaroo, All Points
West, and Lollapalooza to a small local show i.e. Julian Casablancas there
are so many options to help you look your best.

- Concert Couture Tip 1
Flip flops and sandals are never a good pick for any show. Outdoor shows bring mud and dirt, indoors be
prepared to get toes stepped on (which is never good on a pedicure) and watch for spilled alcoholic beverages - both very
uncomfortable in sandals.
Try this:
Wear an old pair of broken in boots that are cute but you could care less who pukes on them. Another good option is
your old faithful pair of Chuck Taylors but keep in mind you'll be one of many wearing the classics.
- Concert Couture Tip 3 Accessorize
wisely with heavy and unique necklaces and bracelets. The more layered the better. Make sure your accessories
are sturdy and strong pieces that wont break easily. Hats and sunglasses can be a saving grace at an outdoor show,
but remember to bring your least favorite in case you turn into a careless drunk.
Try this: Go to a cheap accessory
store or corner vendor for easily replaceable items.
