I bought my first Moleskine in the summer of 2002. It's been a love story ever since!
Changes our lives
Post-it
30 March 2008
Post-It is one of these things that daily changes our lives without us always realizing it.
His work a legacy
Charlie Chaplin
30 March 2008
I don't like to vote many human beings as Lovemarks because I really feel don't feel like most of the ones nominated are at all. But Chaplin...he has become one. He is one of these individuals because his name is a persona and his work a legacy.
A classic toy
Mr Potato Head
30 March 2008
A classic toy that has touched the hearts of many, Mr Potato Head has been part of children's lives for over 60 years and has never struggled to maintain its place as one of the most exciting preschool toys.
A brand name, a Lovemark
Andy Warhol
30 March 2008
Some people seem to think that it is not justified to list Warhol as a brand name, a Lovemark, because he is human. I would normally agree that as a norm I would never agree to that. But there ARE some individuals that are Lovemarks, and Warhol certainly is one of them. He is a genius, the ultimate superstar. He made statements about commodification by commodifying his art, his own name. If he did this, why would it not be ok for us to acknowledge it by stating that he is a brand? This does not take away from his art, nor does it make us misunderstand his intent!
The most irritating thing
Transport for London
30 March 2008
TFL is probably the most irritating thing in the world, and somehow this makes it a Lovemark. There is a hidden pleasure in hating the London Underground, the strikes, the tourists laughing at the 'mind the gap' signs...For all these reasons, but above all because it made my life a living hell for years, they are certainly a Lovemark for me
THE name for heartburn relief
Tums
30 March 2008
Tums is THE name for heartburn relief and also calcium supplement. It's a must for just about anyone at one point or another and helps women through pregnancy.
Student life!
Kraft
30 March 2008
Ahhhh Kraft Dinner (KD). Doesn't it just scream student life!
I'm not the only fan!!
Jelly Belly
15 April 2008
The Original Gourmet Jelly Bean - from LA to your belly! Made with real fruit juice, I discovered them in high school and they have accompanied me since. Even today, I like to sneak a box at the theater, cinema, wherever I'm not allowed to! A year ago, I went to the opera and in a typical fashion I stashed a box in my purse. As I opened it, I saw the lady next to me making a strange face. She was dressed in a long ball-esque gown and looked quite snobbish. As she turned towards me I thought I was going to be reprimanded, yet she whispered 'Oh I know... aren't they great' and opened her own box...guess I'm not the only fan!!
