When they sit down to a "Poker Game," Kevin Garnett and Young Jeezy have already enjoyed a level of success that allows them to bet big. So, in this viral – one of 6 in a star-studded campaign directed by Wayne Holloway of RESTLESS
The internet campaign, a companion effort to a music video style piece helmed by Nima Nourizadeh of Partizan, was recently introduced with a piece that shows Russell Simmons on the phone inviting some of his A-List celebrity friends (Garnett, David Beckham, Missy Elliott, Run DMC, and others) to a "House Party" to celebrate the 60th year anniversary of adidas.
The party in question is the coming-together of stars, past and present, who’ve helped imprint the adidas brand over the years. The house itself was in Beverly Hills and with all this talent converging over a week’s time to participate in the "party," Sid Lee saw a wonderful opportunity to capture the celebs interacting with each other and to craft some dialogue-driven viral films. "This type of collaborative, craft-as-you-go project fits Wayne’s talents perfectly. It was exciting and felt very modern" said RESTLESS Co-Founder and Executive Producer Bryan Farhy.
Holloway and Kristian Manchester (Co-founder and CD at Sid Lee) developed 6 viral concepts for the shoot, to be rolled out in coming weeks. The internet films will also begin playing in adidas stores worldwide. Holloway not only got the stars to have fun, he elicited some extremely rare performances, including Simmons rapping "My Adidas." Simmons and Rick Rubin produced the song for Run DMC in 1986, contributing to an adidas craze that swept the nation; this marks the first time in, perhaps, 20 years, that Simmons has performed it.

Very good well informed ty you for the information. From the guys at Bloggles
Do you have to include a link directory on your website in order to have the other sites link to you? No, there are paid options that allows you to get the links without linking back. This is known as ‘one-way’ linking.
I just read that David Beckham was flown to Finland on Monday for surgery on an Achilles tendon injury. I hope not that this could end his playing career.
Whats happening? I stumbled upon this site on Google, I must tell you that your website is really cool I love your theme! dont have much free time at the current moment to read your sitebut I bookmarked it. I will come back in a day or two.
I read this write up last week and was going to show it to my wife. I have been searching for it for hours and only now came across it.
I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
Thanks for a great blog, I love reading and can’t wait until the next post
Arts and crafts comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to making things with one’s hands and skill. These can be sub-divided into handicrafts or “traditional crafts” (doing things the old way) and “the rest”. Some crafts have been practised for centuries, while others are modern inventions, or popularisations of crafts which were originally practised in a very small geographic area.
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
The promotion of the fine arts over the decorative in European thought can largely be traced to the Renaissance, when Italian theorists such as Vasari promoted artistic values, exemplified by the artists of the High Renaissance, that placed little value on the cost of materials or the amount of skilled work required to produce a work, but instead valued artistic imagination and the individual touch of the hand of a supremely gifted master such as Michelangelo, Raphael or Leonardo da Vinci, reviving to some extent the approach of antiquity. Most European art during the Middle Ages had been produced under a very different set of values, where both expensive materials and virtuoso displays in difficult techniques had been highly valued. In China both approaches had co-existed for many centuries: ink and wash painting, mostly of landscapes, was to a large extent produced by and for the scholar-bureaucrats or “literati”, and was intended as an expression of the artist’s imagination above all, while other major fields of art, including the very important Chinese ceramics produced in effectively industrial conditions, were produced according to a completely different set of artistic values.

Ah, this is a insightful and much anticipated post. I’m late to it tough because my useless RSS reader was broken. Can’t wait for the next one!
