think pink
did a scavenger hunt of sorts around the office recently, trying to find hot pink things. it wasn't really all that hard, but...maybe a fun project for you? just pick a random color/object, and spend a day trying to find it.

have a lovely holiday, says dexter...
don't worry...he got a treat for his hard work! :)
teepees for a cause
at the onset of summer, a group of amazing designers/artists congregated to build 6 teepees at the surf lodge in montauk, ny - bob melet, mike diamond, robert mckinley, tracy feith and rogan gregory...all to benefit the local skate park there! how rad.
unfortunately, east hampton's fire marshall demanded they be taken down soon after...but, kudos to these busy guys for giving their time and muscle for kids and what they love.
thanks for finding, meredith!

seeing red
Our Art Director, Doub, has been collecting things that are red for inspiration right now. Above are her collages so far... I really like the visual appeal of looking at all the red things next to each other! Do you guys ever collect things for inspiration?

police hugging cyclists
Okay so this is interesting - the video below captures police in Denmark hugging helmet-less cyclists and giving them helmets. I know it's probably just a propaganda thing, but do you guys know anything about this? Even if it is a stunt for good press, it's really cute to see. Good effort!
For more discussion of this little topic, see here.

Al Franken draws the USA
Now right off the bat, I want to point out that having Al Franken's video on here is not in any way an endorsement or political statement or anything. I think he is running for Congress, but I couldn't even tell you which side he's on. The reason Al Franken makes it on the blog today is because in this video, which you can find below, he draws a near-perfect map of the USA from memory, in about 3 minutes. I had to share it with you!
This seriously blows my mind! Especially because after I watched this video I tried myself, and drew the USA from memory as best I could. Let me tell you that it took me a LOT more than 3 minutes! I had mistakes in mine too, for example my placement of Arkansas. (Whoops!) Below the video, you can find my attempt at drawing the map, which was a mess and ended up needing a second piece of paper cause I drew the eastern half of the country too big... :)

Mackenzie shares some gorgeous pictures with us!
One of our stylists, Mackenzie, took some stunning pictures while she was on the last couple of catalog shoots! Here's a little note from her:
"We went to Virginia for the last two catalog shoots... and it’s ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL THERE!!!
Here is some proof!!!
We loved it!!!"
These pictures make me really excited to see the catalogs that were shot in Virginia! How beautiful!

boot ruination!
Check out this video from the latest B15 Threads, in which we 'break in' our boots to make them look cooler for the catalog!
If you end up trying this method yourself, be sure to check on your boots after each time you run over them and see how much they’ve been distressed- you don’t want to beat them beyond repair! Depending how much you want your boots wrecked up, you can also bang them off a sidewalk or in rocks!

Want a Free People poster?
Remember a while back when we asked for your help to pick out a poster from the pages of the May catalog? Well, we have a poster finished, and in a week or so we will have 100 of them, waiting and hoping to come to your home! We will send a poster of the picture shown above to the first 100 people to email their name and mailing address to blog.freepeople@gmail.com! (One poster per person.) Yay! Free poster!

kitty & fishy
This is my kitty Homer. He came from the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society shelter. He is a total ham!
Recently, I moved into a new apartment, and I have yet to get some good decorations on the walls. The fish bowl on the wall is my latest attempt to have something homey and interesting in the apartment. Ever since the fishy, Lou Reed, joined the clan, Homer's favorite hobby is watching him with extreme interest from every vantage point. It's hilarious! We caught this picture of him and I just really wanted to share it with you!
