RICK-ROLL

This is my team. I love them. A creative group of awesome people that couldn't be cooler to work with. I stole these photos from Jen and will also steal her words, because why rewrite something so well written . . .

This past Thursday at work we celebrated Markus' birthday. Our theme? Rick-rolling! I won't get into how we came up with that as our theme...but let's just say...it was awesome timing. His entire cubicle was covered in Rick Astley posters...


I really wish I had gotten pictures/video of his card. We actually got a hold of one of those sound-bite mechanisms for musical cards, which was cleverly disguised inside the card behind a cut-out of Rick Astley's head, with a "Don't Push This!" reverse psychology button, right? ... & when you pressed it, it played a recording of "Never Gonna Give You Up". Brilliant.

Markus had brought in some of his vintage ties he collects, for a project he's working on, so later that day he gave us a quick lesson on how to tie a Windsor knot. Some of us had a bit of trouble (*a-hem* Lauren) workin' the tie...

After we were all rockin' our vintage ties we had a quick photo shoot...

My awesome design team members include The Ultra-Fabulous Patti B, 'Nessa VonThinkWe'reAloneNow, Julie Vogue McFly, Markus The Miami Vice Pimp, and Lauren McNailed-It (as in her tie...finally).

And the rest of these were too good not to share. I encourage you to click for a larger version of these...there's some classic face-work happenin' ;) I love these guys.
