Gucci, the millennial-transformed brand par excellence, created an entire collaborative meme project ( #TFWGucci in 2017) to promote its watch collection, while Versace, an early adopter of emoji marketing, launched the Versace Emoji app through the Apple Store in 2016. Fashion powerhouses like Gucci, Versace, and Chanel have made attempts at launching official emojis with their brand refreshes, but their pioneering efforts mostly cater to western audiences. Luxury brands are hardly strangers to emoji marketing. Many luxury brands have tried emoji marketing on a global scale, but few of them have yet to make emojis an integral part of their China-based campaigns, and Chinese millennials-who share a passion for emojis-have now resorted to making their own luxury-related emojis for daily WeChat use.Įmojis do exist in luxury marketing, but mainly in the West According to a big data report co-created by Sun Yat-Sen University and Tencent, the most popular emoji in 2016 was the facepalm sign, signifying an awkward and embarrassing feeling (used in WeChat and QQ more than 760 million times that year). For young people in particular in China-a country that doesn’t encourage outward emotion-emojis have become an especially important means of communication. So why aren’t luxury brands taking advantage of the marketing potential of emojis in China yet?Įmoji in Chinese is 表情包, meaning “ the facial expression kit”. Emojis have become essential to online conversations in every country around the world, and China is no exception. There is no agreement about the reason for this prohibition, and the amount of ancient speculation regarding this matter shows that this practice was considered odd. The most famous Pythagorean dietary restriction is perhaps the prohibition against eating beans. There are also sources which claim that there was no prohibition at all against eating meat. For instance, some sources claim that all meat was prohibited, while others record that only certain meats (animals not used for sacrifice) were prohibited. The evidence for these restrictions are, however, often contradictory. One characteristic aspect of this ‘Pythagorean way of life’ is an emphasis on dietary restrictions. This care for one’s soul can be seen in the ‘Pythagorean way of life’, a set of features which was probably aimed at assuring the best possible future reincarnations. This was a radical challenge to the traditional Olympian tradition, as the elevation of the human soul to this immortal status devalued the Olympian gods and their worship, and raised the importance of caring for one’s soul. For example, Pythagoras may have been the first to introduce to the Greeks the idea of the immortality of the human soul and reincarnation. Although Pythagorean thought is dominated by mathematics, the followers of Pythagoras also dabbled in mysticism. Still, one may be able to say a few things about the teachings of Pythagoras. Pythagoras’ Beliefs and the Pythagorean Way of Life
It won't be news to anyone, but the first couple of years worth of Playboy magazines are worth something today. 10 November 1954 - Centerfold: Diane Hunter Different sources will value particular issues and certain covers and such, so if you're an aficionado, feel free to scrutinize my sources as you see fit. Some are actual copies, while others are just for the covers. In honor of Playboy no longer offering nudity, here is a look at editions of the magazine from the last 62 nudity filled years that are worth the most today. According to a brief interview with the CEO of Playboy, they want the difference between the readership of their publication and that of Vice is that "we're going after the guy with the job". In short, they are trying to further modernize the magazine in hopes of attracting young men who live in cities. They've suggested that they will continue with interviews and journalism, but focus on including art themes while maintaining an intellectual atmosphere. Playboy magazines with naked women are a thing of the past, but it will be interesting to see if they can do anything to keep their name different from publications like Maxim. Back to the point however, with so much free nudity EVERYWHERE, there's almost no point to Playboy having pictures of naked women. While the "Rules of the Internet" may be a joke, they're true, and none are truer than rule 34 which of course states that if you can think of something, the adult entertainment business has already done it. As anyone can point out, every smartphone and computer is just a few clicks away from all kinds of depravity to which Playboy, Hustler and Penthouse can't even come close. For decades, Playboy has been known for naked women, and now they've announced that they will no longer provide that product. Those were all jokes, by the way, but this Playboy news is huge. In other news, McDonald's announced that they were no longer serving hamburgers, Starbucks will only serve mineral water, Eminem will now play the cello and cats are now going to be helpful. I still think this may be some sort of hoax, but last week, Playboy magazine announced that they would no longer be featuring fully naked women in their magazine. There are many reasons to read Playboy Magazine: articles, pictures, and inherent collector's value? To determine if something can be used as a primary or secondary source in your research, there are some simple questions you can ask yourself: How to tell if a source is primary or secondary But if your aim is to analyze media coverage of economic issues, the newspaper article is a primary source. If your aim is to analyze the government’s economic policy, a newspaper article about a new policy is a secondary source. Instead, you’ll probably test its arguments against new evidence or use its ideas to help formulate your own. When you cite a secondary source, it’s usually not to analyze it directly.

The contestants are in teams, and their captains randomly assigned, and they’re eliminated as teams, but there are only five teams? For a seven-episode series? Is there going to be a merge? Will it become an individual game? They’ve even recycling contestants from other Food Network competitions, including Reva Alexander-Hawk and Jordan Pilarski. (Photo by Food Network)Ĭandy Land’s production company Super Delicious says on its website that they’ve produced “HUNDREDS of episodes of Food Network hits ‘Cupcake Wars,’ ‘Cake Wars,’ ‘Halloween Wars’ (now in season 10), ‘Holiday Wars.'”Īnd now they’ve produced more-gathering teams of cake and sugar artists to create themed builds. Kristin Chenoweth on the set of Candy Land with some of its contestants. It’s very clear Candy Land is only interested in borrowing the board game as a support, over which its producers have thrown the tasteless and overused piece of fondant that is the Food Network “Wars” franchise. The teams who aren’t eliminated do have oversize game pieces, but they just picked up them up and walked around and did nothing with them while looking as confused as I was. But no, Candy Land the reality competition doesn’t care about replicating or adapting the game. That’s such a simple format it offers so many opportunities to be translated to television, perhaps with players moving their game pieces or themselves down the path. The board game itself is simple: draw a card, move to the next space of that color, and try to be the first player to get to Candy Castle. There’s an even more-detailed behind-the-scenes special, hosted by David Bromstad, that’s far more watchable and engaging than the actual show.īecause there’s a raging pandemic, and this was produced in the middle of it, and because I appreciate attention and time being given to the craft required to produce reality television, I’ll ignore that the edible set is actually just inedible set pieces with some bowls of candy strewn around-and that 2020 has already given us a reality competition in a similar space that was much more elaborate and immersive (Netflix’s Crazy Delicious, an imperfect but GBBO-ish cooking competition where the pantry was the set).Ĭandy Land’s designers have done a decent job of recreating the aesthetic of the game board, which in the version from my 1980s childhood was relatively sparse, a multi-colored path weaving through and past colorful vignettes and sugary characters: Gumdrop Mountain, Lollipop Woods, Queen Frostine. Making It winner Justine Silva is one of the many craftspeople who took 650 pounds of candy, 170 pounds of chocolate, lots of inspiration from the board game. The first few minutes of Candy Land were dedicated to showing us how 120 people created the “interactive, sugary set,” a version of the Candy Land game board. It absolutely is insane: that Food Network combined the magical ingredients of Chenoweth and Candy Land and produced this monstrosity that they should have revealed by yelling, Nailed it! They didn’t. It’s going to be insane!” Kristin Chenoweth said at the start of Food Network’s Candy Land. “The most magical board game has come to life.
