I saw a MINI billboard the other day....that said.....Small is the new black.

Maybe I'm dumb, but what is that supposed to mean??

 

I believe...
Black is a staple in fashion. Black is always cool. Black works with anything. Everybody needs to have black... etc.

 

Yeah that sounds right to me.

Do you live near NYC or by some other area heavy in the fashion industry?

 

I'm not much into fashion - it's just something I heard somewhere.

 

>>I'm not much into fashion - it's just something I heard somewhere.


I mean melly I thought maybe it was a regional marketing thing if the area was heavy into the fashion industry.

 

Black clothes seem to be always IN because they are slimming. Just put on a pair of white pants and then change into black pants and you'll see a difference! Or try a pair of blue jeans and then put on black jeans and you'll look slimmer!

I feel Black goes with everything! You can wear a Black jacket with a blue shirt, red shirt, white shirt, yellow..... ! or Black jeans with anything from poka-dots to stripes to any solid color ! Black shoes go with anything. One nice black dress is like a whole wardrobe! You can wear it anywhere, dress it up or for everyday! Wear it with a jacket or all by itself.

Black is totally accepted by everyone.
Small is the new Black!!!
I love it!!!

Of course... that makes more sense.... LOL

 

But you can't ever, EVER, EVER wear black with brown.

 

that reminds me of the MINI billboard I saw a few months ago in S. FL... something to the effect of "Sliced bread had a nice run." Their billboards are very catchy...and they usually make you think...lol.

 

I like the "The SUV Backlash has officially begun" billboard we had up hear near Cleveland, land of the SUVs for awhile.

 

I've seen the "small is the new black" board in Denver too. Not quite as fashionable as NYC! :smile:

 

I saw that billboard as I was leaving Baltimore....don't think Baltimore is a very fashionable place either??? Definitely not like NYC anyway...

but I think I agree with almedia on the meaning....thanks! I couldn't figure it out! But that makes a lot of sense....black...one of my favorite colors...hehe

 

...at least you GOT ads...

Here in Houston, we got nothing. No billboards, no TV, no radio, no nothing.

The cool part is that about 80% or more of the locals have never seen one of these cars, and are WAY impressed that I have one. One guy in my drum corps (after rehearsal, when we were heading for the parking lot) said "Woah, dude, there's a MINI Cooper! There's only like THREE of those in the whole state!" to which I cooly replied "No, there are more, but they ARE fairly rare around here..." and then shocked him as I opened the hatch and put my stuff in it. He was freaked that "he knows someone who drives a MINI."

I kinda LIKE not having any advertisements around here.

 

>>But you can't ever, EVER, EVER wear black with brown.

You have to be very careful about black with navy as well. It depends on the combo. You can't were a navy shirt with black pants for instance. Or vice versa. U sed to work for H&M on 5th Ave. I learned alot about the whole industry there.

Yes, you do have MINI billboards in Houston. I picked up my MINI at Momentum on 2/21. The next day I was heading toward downtown on Westhiemer (sp?) and noticed a MINI ad on the north side of the street.

Welcome to MCO

Baltimore is not necessaily "fashionable" as NYC but we are a big city and Dc is close. Maybe that's why?

 

<< But you can't ever, EVER, EVER wear black with brown. <<

Actually, wearing black w/chocolate brown IS the rage these days. At least here in LA and in the 'fashion' magazines. It's the "in" thing now.

 

... saw a black t-shirt the other day with words on the front saying,
"I'm only wearing Black 'cause I couldn't find anything Darker"

... those Goths are such a fun bunch at parties ...

 

If small is the new black.

What's the new small?

You just need to make it up to Arvada more often.
