Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has its bloomers in a bunch

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

At least that's what the tag line promises. And the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority takes that tag line very seriously.

The Authority is shocked and outraged that someone in Las Vegas broke the Las Vegas gentleman's code and got pics of Prince Harry hiding his naughty bits and little else.

Goodness gracious.

Here's the full-page ad the Authority recently ran in USA Today.

Get this woman a sandwich before she drops

This poor woman could be a poster child for anorexia. So I was surprised to find this photo on Daily Candy, an e-newsletter/shopping site that generally celebrates women.

Nevertheless, if you're a woman, I recommend you sign up for Daily Candy if only to read the smart and sassy copy.

Uncrustables are the new Lunchables

If you're not familiar with Uncrustables, they're frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crusts cut off. You pack them in the morning and by lunchtime they're thawed.

Smuckers refers to Uncrustables as "the perfect grab-and-go sandwich for families on the move." These families can't be doing much moving if they're too lazy to make a lousy peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Pop art posters featuring Old Style beer

Don't know who created these pop art posters featuring Old Style beer, but they're awesome.

I found them at the Logan Bar & Grill in Chicago.

Louis Vuitton store window

One of the windows at the Louis Vuitton store on Michigan Avenue, in Chicago. Looks like some sort of sea creatures. But the window next to this one featured big showy flowers. It may not make sense but it did catch my eye as we were driving by.
