When the very last phone booth crumbles into dust, where will all the superheroes change their clothes?
Flavour - Belly Flop / Towel / Puke / Hair - print, Denmark
BAM! You know the model who had to pose for this was holding on to his own head so as not to show a visible clenched butt expecting the sharp sting of a wet towel-slap. I wonder if models get paid extra for that. Nicely shot, Thomas Juul.
The puke thing though? Yeah, I don't know man. Kinda gross.

Red Wing Shoes’ Puritan Stitch Machine - (2011)
Brew has created this film for Red Wing shoes, which feels like a mini-documentary that would be right at home playing on the Discovery Channel. To sell the handcrafted boot to blue-collar workers that use big machines and need a quality shoe that won't wear out. Red Wing pays homage to the Puritan Stitch machines they use to stitch the leather together. This sewing machine on steroids is quite the hard worker, and those who 'drive it like car' every day have honed their skills, which in the end makes a really tough boot. I think I need a pair now.

Uniqlo "UV Cut" (Director's cut) 2012 :30 Japan
Renowned fashion and beauty director Rebecca Blake, of Rebecca Blake Films A STORY Company, has directed a new campaign for Japanese fashion retailer Uniqlo launching its innovative UV Cut collection. Conceived by Dentsu, Tokyo, the spot features Japanese model and actress Kiko Mizuhara (Norwegian Wood) who is shown wearing the young, fashionable clothing, which filters UV rays, in a stylized contemporary home overlooking a pristine ocean under a sunny sky.

The effect was produced with a specially-designed lighting rig by cinematographer Deke Donelian.
Awesomerags fashion store uses "sex sells" mantra, makes predictable positions ad
Le yawn. Feels like we've seen this exact layout before, but I guess I should alert you to the "edgy" ad from Awesomerags which depicts their fashion models in various sexual postions. Fully clothed of course. Like previous ads before it, the layout homages an old kama sutra poster. Sexual positions - simply suggested or literally done - in fashion ads are as old as fashion shoots.
Dior - Charlize Theron / Runway - (2011)
Dior engage Charlize Theron again, and while they're at it they bring back Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe from the dead. Marilyn? She who so famously only slept in "five drops of Chanel no. 5" and has already promoted that perfume back in the nineties? Yes. Dior even make Marilyn say Dior in this ad which I find a tad off, but not as off as Charlize's extra-strutty-strut. You're going to hurt yourself honey, slow down.

Six tennis games were played on the outside wall of Stockholms landmark department store NK (Nordiska Kompaniet).
Fluid Salon - Look good no matter how often he beats you up. What?
The running line in this campaign from Fluid Salon is "Look good no matter what you do" and as Copyranter pointed out "...she's about to get a shiny diamond necklace to match her shiner, so all's well that ends well? Edgy."
Lanvin - I Know You Want Me / Fall 2011
Just what the world of fashion advertising really needs, more dancing designers (and models). Yes that's Alber Elbaz strutting his stuff at the end. Stephen Meisel has cooked up a fondue of chic and cheese here, one that presumably won't go straight to the hips but
