"Were All In This Together"




This spot for Method Cleaners on Virgin America was made entirely with photoshop...PHOTOSHOP!

 (  O_____O  ) ... GASP!

I knew you could make simple animations with photoshop but this is down right amazing.

The commercial was created by the animation team at Three Legged leg.
Visit their webpage to view sketches, read about the team and see images of the crew.

Take Me To The Spa






looking at the facade of the Great Jones Spa upon arrival, I thought to myself, Damn... this place is tiny... are they for real?
Well as they say, never judge a book by it's cover.

As you walk down the slender corridor the space opens up into a labyrinth of stairs and levels. The transformation of space as you walk deeper into the building is the first step to relaxation, disconnecting you from the stress of the day and the bustling city outside.
The decent into the spa makes you feel like Alice as she falls head first into wonderland.

After a harrowing day of work it was simply marvelous to kick back and relax in the warmth of jacuzzi and steam room. They also have a sauna, hair salon, nail parlor, juice bar and massage rooms. If you just feel like taking a dip, cooking in the steam room or cleansing your pores in the sauna, you can purchase the Water Lounge Pass ($50 ) which is good for 3 hours of soothing spa goodness.

It's truly a place where you can have a relaxing spa day with friends or alone.

I'm so mad I didn't think of this first. ::CACKLES::

Via: FFFound
Can I Haz?

I Said...Look Up!








Fuerza Bruta - Look Up!
And...We were drenched after dancing like there was no tomorrow.
Fuerza Bruta continues to be one of my all time favorite shows.
Here's a tip:
Bring a duffel bag with either a towel or a change of clothes, mainly a shirt because you're going to get wet.
