Saturday was the last day of soccer for the kiddos. Weather held out and we were able to spend the afternoon at the Pumpkin Patch. Unfortunately due to our record breaking super cold temps this fall, pumpkin picking was rather sad. We still had a good time though.
AND as luck may have it, it snowed and was super cold (again) on Sunday, so we ended up having choosen a good day to go! The kiddos and I spent the day carving their pumpkins and baking pumpkin seeds. Fun times.

Totally forgot in my haste to put up this post late last night…..
Trying to do a Halloween themed edition again of TFT! It’s worked out really well in years past, with lots of participation. This year….eh, not so much, lol. Pull out your costumes, snap a pic! It’s for a good cause! Be creative, be fun. It’s for a good cause! You have until 10:00pm MST to get me your Halloween themed contribution for the site. EMAIL ME!
You can check out last years HERE.

Happy Monday!!!

sure sex sells, your images are pretty to the point! other ad campaigns are more subtle, but even the subtle ones pull attention..

Happy Mute Monday!

Candies Shoes can always be counted on for quirky, kooky, sexy ads. Happy Mute Monday!

Well illustrated point. Some work better for me than others, though.
The Bimmer ad is kinda creepy. Yeah, she’s too hot for you to be her first, but I think it would work better if she at least looked 18. Great concept that could have been better executed.
Love the cabana ad. This is how I want my photos to come out, subtle use of selective color, addition of a hint of noise. And … sexy as hell!
Great post.

You picked some great ads for this theme! I’m always laughing at how they use sex in IT tech magazines too. Never knew they could make a printer look sexy! Lol!
Loved the pictures from your pumpkin hunting!

Absolutely sex sells! That is always the case. Good Pumpkin pics…Here in south Texas we have the opposite problem. Pumpkins are going bad at the speed of Fright! Too warm.

Happy MM. We had a similar idea this week. I like your choices. :)
Glad you had a nice fall weekend.

I’m with Troll. I’m buying whatever they’re selling.
My kids came back with some really nice pumpkins yesterday. Saturday was a rainout so Sunday was a mob scene at the local farm. Glad I wasn’t there and I don’t want to know how much they cost either.
Happy MM!

There is just something about pumpkin farm pics that SCREAMS fall! Love them!
We didn’t have the cold snap, but too much rain, so our pumpkin pickin’s were pretty slim too!

God bless those whom created these particular ads. Creative work!
