And This is Why Jay-Z is So Cool

So according to New York magazine Jay-Z is getting the word out about his upcoming memoir (Decoded) by reprinting pages of the book onto inanimate objects, as well as people, in various locations throughout New York City. This is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever heard.
David Droga, of Droga5, the advertising company behind this stellar marketing campaign, told the New York Times today that locations will be chosen according to the subject matter on the reprinted page, i.e. if Jay-Z mentions the Marcy Projects or something about Madison Square Garden (I mean, this is all he talks about…and B, he talks about her too), reprinted pages will most likely be found there in the next few days. “If in certain pages Jay-Z is talking about something related to Times Square, then those pages might be on billboards in Times Square,” Droga said.

How Much Would You Pay Me to Wear This Dress to My Cousin’s Wedding?
The Carroll Family at Uncle Tom and Aunt Eileen's Wedding, 1993. You know you love this picture.
Ok, not the floral one I’m so elegantly sporting in the pic above (but that can be arranged too since it still fits) but the spicy black number my mom is rocking. Hard.
Those that know me know I’ve been obsessed with this dress since the day it fatefully entered into our lives, and I’m getting the feeling (mostly because I don’t want to go shopping) that it needs to come out of retirement Dec. 4.
But I do need a little coaxing, because this dress…it’s a lot of look. The last time I tried to pull it off was when I was invited to my cousin Matt’s graduation dinner at West Point. I was promptly disinvited until I could find something more appropriate to wear. To say I was disappointed would be grossly understated.
