35 things you should do for your career by the time you turn 35
We’re all for flexibility. Going your own way. Paving your own path. Doing what works for you (and not doing what doesn’t). We’re also big fans of not putting a timeline on things. We’ve even said that there are plenty of things you don’t have to have by 30 (or 40, or 50, or ever...). But when it comes to your career, there are some things that we do recommend getting started on sooner rather than later. So, do you need to check every box off this list by the time you’re 35? 1. While it will obviously change from time to time, you should never have a hard time answering, “What do you do?” 2. Or, in other words, know the one thing that you’re truly amazing at. 3. On the other end of the spectrum, it’s key to know what you’re not so great at. 4. No one can do it all, and especially as you climb the career ladder, you’re going to need to know the difference between the things you should be spending your time on and the things you shouldn’t. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.
Sia Chandelier Dance Tutorial with Ryan Heffington
Culture / Ryan Heffington’s ability to create a connectedness between viewer and performer has earned Sia over 207 million YouTube views for “Chandelier," helping her to become this year’s most-dissected pop enigma. In Ms. “Ryan Heffington's moves are absurd, but they're real life” Heffington has also captured the attention of Arcade Fire, who he worked with for the video to “We Exist,” and Sigur Ros: he was responsible for devising Shia LaBoeuf's risqué, NSFW performance for the Icelanders. Sia will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl with Ryan Heffington in Los Angeles on October 24.
AdAge Top 15 Campaigns of the 21st Century
Many ad campaigns over the years have sold soap. Fewer have tried to change societal notions about beauty. Even fewer have tried to do both. Dove’s “Campaign for Real Beauty” is the campaign that did it. The campaign that had its origins in London and Canada with a billboard asking motorists to vote on whether the women pictured were “fat or fit?” Dove’s “Campaign for Real Beauty” is the only campaign cited by every one of the Advertising Age judges as belonging on this list, and one that was described by the panel as groundbreaking, brave, bold, insightful, transparent and authentic. Last century, Listerine made it on to the list of Advertising Age’s “Top 100 Ad Campaigns of the 20th Century” with its “Always a Bridesmaid, Never a Bride” campaign, an approach tailored and imitated often throughout the century to feed on women’s insecurities and remind them they needed to improve their attractiveness. Did Dove play a role in those numbers? “Would I say it’s changed the world? Ms. Ms.

Jeremy Scott Cleans House
Fresh by Moschino Jeremy Scott Cleans House For his second foray into fragrance — following his cuddly first scent in the shape of a teddy bear one year ago — Moschino’s irreverent, pop-loving creative director Jeremy Scott was feeling fresh. So much so that that's exactly what he named it, Fresh. Bottled in a clear flacon with a plastic spray cap, the aqua-blue juice is a tribute to ordinary glass cleaner, that most mundane of cleaning products. Scott introduced the eau de toilette on his Instagram in early October.
