Faces Of Halloween
I’d say that the 17th is close enough, especially since I really don’t celebrate Halloween for religious reasons. So, in the spirit of not being an ass about a secular celebration, here’s some striking Halloween faces to inspire your spooky side.

There’s a dearth of honesty in marketing and, hence, the idea of marketing honesty itself is beyond the pale, too shocking to be considered by advertising firms or the corporations that hire them. That was until now…
This Is You…Weak, Scared, Alone, Always
Revlon (REV), one of the oldest and largest cosmetics firms in America, has chosen to change things up and try marketing honesty…brutal honesty.
The company’s “You Are What You Are†campaign, which debuted with dark and haunting multi-page spreads in several major fashion magazines, cautions consumers that, at best, makeup is a sad disguise people hide behind in a futile attempt to avoid uncomfortable facts about their true nature.
With our new ad campaign, we want to emphasize that you can buy all the lotions, powders, and fragrances you want, but you can’t escape who you really are: a fragile, flawed, and ultimately insignificant being who is tormented by fear and insecurity. It’s fine to use our products if they make you feel a little more attractive, but just remember it’s only a temporary distraction from the terrifying reality of your barren, unfulfilling life.
Your existence is a dismal and feeble one, and no amount of mascara is ever going to change that.
— Vivian Falk
Vice President of Marketing
Revlon’s new “You Are What You Are†campaign is a high-dollar gamble. It’s a bold and daring move that’s sure to shake up a lot people. It’ll be successful as well because, the more they tell the women who buy their products that they’re worthless, the more those women will flock to Revlon to buy cosmetics to hide behind.
BTW – If you didn’t already know and you couldn’t guess, this is a joke, albeit a cruel one. This is an excerpt with commentary of a recent “article” in The Onion.

It’s, by and large, a grim world that we live in. There are, however, things of beauty in it though: cute animals, pretty girls, and some art. Why not combine them in the most pleasing fashion?
With thanks and credit to Megan over at theBerry for these delectable pics. They brightened my morning a bit and I hope they’ll do the same for others.
