Inside the Intern Closet: with R. Kelly

It’s a snowy Tuesday out here in Chicago. Welcome to Chapter 1 of -Inside the Intern Closet: with R. Kelly- Reporting live from the intern closet at DDB, SURPRISE!!!! it’s me, Madison.

First things first. Oh man guys, I’m a Copywriter for real! Huge high five to all my fellow Circus clowns. If you’re feeling clicky, check out my portfolio www.goalittlemad.com ! The Creative Circus is the place to be if you want to go into Advertising, hands down, but that post will be coming later.

I’ve been cruisin’ on a razor scooter since ’99 and on the first day of my internship, I saw several people scooting around the office. This made me want to Ron Burgundy my emotions from the mountaintops, or at least try and start a slow clap. I kept my feelings inside though and just brought my scooter in with me the next day. They’ve got some top notch scootin’ floors here at DDB, perfect for some power scoots.

Seeing my name on an office door every day rocks. The intern office is located under a staircase next to a picture of a massive cheeseburger in a closet-like room with no windows (I know, so many things!!) …so my Art Director and fellow Lady Bro, Danae and I did this:

It may be a closet, but it’s our closet. ❤

That’s all for this episode.

Until next time,

When a Copywriter Works at a Bar…

Things like this happen.

I’ll miss you, Whitehall Tavern Atlanta, but $2.13 an hour can spend eternity listening to people clip their toenails.

Meet Teddy.

Image

It’s okay to laugh at his expense, because he’s a meow pal. This fluffy ball of shame belongs to two of my bar regulars. *HIGH FIVE*

This is what happens when bourbon a Norelco and a dream collide. I want to look at it every 5 minutes for forever, but ADD says no.

So why the urge to make Teddy so top heavy? Meow, I know it’s winter time, but my only rational explanation is that it was summer time and since it gets boiling hot in Atlanta they did it so he could be cool in his kitty tank top. A for effort.

Moral of the story. Don’t drink and shave your pets. Or do. I have no idea whats going on.

Okay, have a magical new year.

Oh and thanks Teddy. You’re a good sport even though you had no choice.

HA.

Got my nose (!!)

My nose has always been a problem for me. Mostly just because I think it’s too big. So I thought maybe if I put my nose on other people I could help myself to not be so smelf conscious. I’m not good at photoshop things so yes, this is actually my nose. Don’t read to far into it. (Dan Balser)

Welcome to The Shit Show

Image

If you don’t like crude humor you may be a robot.

If there’s one thing in the World everyone can relate to, it’s poopin y’all. In an attempt to harness the hilarity of the thing everyone does yet we’re not supposed to speak of, I’ve decided to unleash unto the universe, The Shit Show. A place to let it all out.

I’ve been awkwardly jotting down stories as people have shared them over the course of the last few months. Now, one by one I’ll be sharing their quips and tales from the brown side.

Let us begin with a gem from a friend of mine who’s now an Art Director in NYC.

“My buddies and I used to light bags of shit on fire a lot when we were younger, like elementary school, a simpler time. One time this bag just lit up, it was like a ten foot fucking flame. The people opened the door and had to of known it was shit in a bag because they just closed the door and let it die out. There’s no way you could do that now. It would probably be considered an act of terrorism.”

TALK SHIT. Submit your story to The Shit Show! Send your tale to madisontaylorjackson@gmail.com (all stories will remain 100% anonymous)

The Write Words.

‘Does it hurt?’ asked the Rabbit.

‘Sometimes,’ said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. ‘When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.’

‘Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,’ he asked, ‘or bit by bit?’

‘It doesn’t happen all at once,’ said the Skin Horse. ‘You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

–Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit
