A SAD, SAD TALE...

Today is a very, very sad day.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES, the best musical on Broadway until yesterday, closed it's doors far, far too soon.

It truly is the worst of times. Maybe we should have fought harder!

They just don't make Broadway shows like this anymore and I feel so blessed that I was able to experience it's wonder before it left the Broadway stage. 

I hope will all my heart that this magnificent musical will find another home so audiences can enjoy it's magic once again.

There is discussions about a tour, but I think maybe London should be the next stop.

Who says the buying public are prudes?...Not the advertisers!

I don't know how many of you are subway riders in NYC but even if you're not, I'm sure you're seeing what I'm seeing in your area on billboards. Over the past few months, I've been impressed with the ad campaigns I've seen in the subway cars. Using our human love of sex and need for physical contact to sell products is nothing new. But these ads don’t even try to disguise it as their strategy. It’s admirable.

Advertising has always used sexual desire and potential success in the sex-arena as allure to promote products. But in the past it’s always been more understated or subconscious in the messaging. These ads are in your face, Get Physical Now! And I, for one, am relieved about that.

About a month ago, I started seeing Dentyne Gum adds with the tag line “Make Face Time” – with references to getting off the Internet and connecting directly with people. With the increasing trend of people “Facebooking” or “Myspacing” each other – even texting – rather than talking, the message is it’s currently relevant. But the connections that are portrayed in these ads photos are beyond talking; it’s the physical connection of lip locking and lying on top of each other that are front and center.  

Way to go Dentyne! Thank you for not messing around with the “start chewing and messing around” message that you’re attaching to your brand. And I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve been buying more Dentyne and rolling around (I mean, “making face time” with others) as a result!  ;)

But to top these ads, Remy Martin has come out with the “Things Are Getting Interesting” campaigned on the same subway cars.  And they’ve gone even further in their push to associate their product with sex. Photos suggesting girl-on-girl bondage and threesomes are prominently displayed, for all to see and enjoy.

     

Let’s face it; we’ve all been involved in sexual encounters resulting from alcohol consumption. (And if you haven’t, I’m sorry – try some Remy and you’ll understand the magic of these experiences.) So the ad is based in truth, which is what makes it so shocking and so wonderful.

Truth in advertising?...A law? Yes.
A common practice?...Generally, No!

But the Remy Martin ad campaign says, through it’s pictures and tag line, what we already know to be true. What we already know will happen when we drink fabulous alcoholic beverages. It's Brilliant!!!

Hat’s off (and clothes too) to both of these fun-filled ad campaigns.
Now go out there, pour yourself a drink, chew some gum and have some fun!!

Red's VP "Pole"

With the Democratic National Convention this week and The Republican National Convention next, soon we'll have to have a FUN Convention with Red leading the way and accepting her nomination for Presidency.

But there is a dilemma that needs to be resolved as we move forward with the campaign.

Red cannot decide who should be the next VP, so she's asking you to help her decide who should share the ballot with her... Please click your choice or write in you own suggestion to help Red find her VP Candidate.

Barbara Walters Interviews Red for Prez

I've been getting a lot of feedback on my campaign and it seems that the time has come for me to do an all revealing interview in order to gain more support of those who don't really know what I'm all about. So I've agreed to let Barbara Walters interview me in an exclusive piece that will never be aired. I agreed to this as long as she agreed not to make me cry. ;)

Now you're getting a look at the secret transcripts of the interview that is only available here at Red's World.

BW: What made you decide to run for President, Red?

Red: Well, I think that our country is in need of someone who can take charge of the great need of our people to have a good time. In politics we often forget the value of joy. So I'm here to put the fun back into the presidency and our precious country.

BW: How do you propose to do that?

Red: My goal is to give everyone something interesting to focus on. Like sex-scandal and drug abuse. These seem to be the most important issues of our nation. This is evidenced by how much time we (as a nation) spend talking and reporting on those matters as opposed to other "political issues".

I wanted to get in on that action.  I'm willing to put myself out there for our nation and draw the most international attention through my provocative behavior.

BW: How will that help our country?

Red: Well, it will bring into focus what is truly important in everyone's life: FUN!
And, of course it would make me the center of attention!

BW: Indeed, and how will you accomplish this?

Red: Honestly, I plan to sleep my way to the top.

BW: And how do you plan to get support of the voters?

Red: Just by being myself. I don't think the country needs a lot of pushing to spend millions of dollars on gossip and scandal. That topic is always the first to be covered no matter who your talking about...take Britney Spears for example, no one is really interested in the music she's creating. It's much more FUN to talk about how she smokes cigarettes with her small child or gives the world beaver shots when getting out of a car.
And as far as political figures, what gets more play?  What they do in their bedroom and what drugs they take or how well suited they are for the office they hold? We all know the answer to those questions.
How a political figure handles a national crises is an after thought when voting, we'd rather know how much fun they are having. 

BW: Why do you think that is?

Red: The American people are more interested in the FUN stuff. People need to trust their leaders.  Who trusts, and further more respects, anyone who hasn't been involved in "sex, drugs and rock & roll"? 
I give the people what they want.  The People want FUN! And they get great pleasure from knowing that their leaders are well versed in FUN too.

What does Red Stand for?

Red stands for fun, but she won't stand if lying down is called for...

People want to know what my take is on the issues that impact our nation as we continue on Red's Campaign for Presidency. Remember, I believe in the limitless nature of life and I want our Great Nation to be the best it can be!!

At this point, you should know that I'm running on the Fun Platform and that means we need to focus our energies to make this world more fun to live in. Here are just a few of the important issues Red believes should be addressed to continue to fight for fun and freedom for every individual in the United States of America:

THE ISSUES:

1. Legal Prostitution - why shouldn't anyone be able to get paid for providing a service that is fun and harmless, as long as they are polite and safe. If hooking was legal in every state, as it is in Nevada, we could regulate it and celebrate another booming business in our country. It may even lower the national debt by giving another opportunity to collect income tax on a very profitable occupation.


2. Public Sex - I'm not saying that we should have sex all the time but I am impressed with the Netherlands for permitting gay sex in the park, as long as they are polite about it and clean up their mess. Let's do one better and extend this freedom to all sexual beings, including heterosexuals.


3. Pro-Abortion - I'm for it. Kids can sometimes hinder the fun factor so why have one if you don't want one. We have the technology and it's a safe noninvasive procedure. It's not the best form of birth control for sure, but it does the trick.


4. Free Condoms for Everyone - since we'll never stop sex (and shouldn't) we should be able to enjoy carnal knowledge of others without risking our lives or creating another. NYC now gives out free condoms in bars, subways, bookstores, just about anywhere in the City! Spread the love, free condoms nationwide is the answer.


5. Lower Taxes - NO MORE SIN TAX!  "Sinning" can be fun so we should not discourage it by taxing it. Besides the Sin Tax on Cigarettes and Alcohol has gotten out of hand. And although we all are willing to pay for fun, where does this tax money go??? If it goes into helping people enjoy more fun activities, then by all means tax away, if it's going to other non-fun activities such as war and bickering (unless you find that fun), then I think it hinders the fun factor and should be stopped.


6. Gay Marriage Rights - I'm generally not a fan of marriage under any circumstances, and I would not be opposed to outlawing the act of marriage all together.  I do believe that people who care about each other and want to share their assets and dept legally, should have that opportunity without any difficulty; gay or not. Why should the gays have to travel in order to get married when the straights can do it anywhere? Gay marriage is only legal in a few state now...let's expand this to every state.


7. Pro-Polygamy - and if someone wants to marry more than one person...why shouldn't they? It can be so much fun to have all your friends under the same roof, yes?


8. Money for everyone - Although this is the most important issue, I admit I'm not sure exactly how this would work, but I do know that if we all had money we could all spend it. And that would be FUN!

So Vote Red and Make this Country more FUN!!

Drinking and Dancing on the Campaign Trail

So Hillary thinks she can beat me on the Fun issue? She tried on Saturday night when she ordered a shot of Crown Royal and had a blast boozing it up surrounded by all her men.

If I'd known, it would bring her so much attention, I would have recorded my drinking escapades too.

Oh wait, I did!

Yes, that's right, I've been known to booze it up so don't think that Hillary has anything on me there. I've done the same.

Obviously, she's gotten wind of my Campaign strategy and is trying to take over the Fun Platform by attempting to out do me on fun activities.

     You be the judge...but I think I still have her beat.

Here are some photos of Red's Champaign for FUN. Proving my Fun worthiness by dancing on bars around the nation to gain support for my campaign for President!!

For even more fun: Watch the video of Hot Mama Red Dancing on bars around the nation to gain support for her presidential election.
