@catherineperlo1 As an active Pinterest user (for my personal styling business) and ex ad/media buyer way too many ads in the feed. It’s rather off putting.
Scoop: Pinterest earlier this year weighed spending hundreds of millions acquiring an adtech firm. The social media company has been working with more adtech firms to sell its inventory, most recently Index and Criteo. Snap has considered a similar approach.
@seanpatward Hire a personal stylist! I am a personal stylist and work with everyday women and men around the world (mainly US and UK clients). Curatebyjulij.com
Literally do not understand how guys shop for clothes. It’s my least favorite thing ever.
I’m a grown man and still have not figured this out. So you’re supposed to go to a mall and just wander around stores, guess at which clothes look good and then try on a bunch of stuff on to see if it fits right?
And then they make you stand in line before they take your money? Seems like cruel and unusual punishment.
I don’t want to look like a dork but also don’t want to spend a bunch of time and money guessing at all of this.
Who has figured this whole thing out?
@TheAlex_Lewis@sweatystartup Yes, it can be a very lovely gift. I find some women are hesitant to spend themselves in this way (a guilt thing? putting their needs last). Those are the best transformations - helping them see they are worthy of looking their best, and in turn, show up better for others.
@julijohnson@sweatystartup Yeah, I was cautious about this. There's a fine line between this gift coming across as thoughtful vs mean. Fortunately, my wife is a confident and considerate person.
It helped that for months she'd talked about wanting to remake her personal style after Covid.
@TheAlex_Lewis@sweatystartup As a personal stylist (Curatebyjulij.com) make sure your wife wants this. 😂 I’ve not had it happen where the wife was offended but I’ve heard stories from other stylists.
@sweatystartup I booked my wife a 3-part stylist consult: they revamped her wardrobe, then went on an epic shopping spree.
Three years later, my wife still brags about that one to friends on occasion. That'll be a hard one for me to top.
@CelebrityUK@kathrynboccetti Hi @celebrityuk that last port in NZ was BEFORE Aus announced shutting down their ports - what is the captain going to do now? They need to return ASAP to NZ and get everyone off!
Due to continued port closures and global travel restrictions, as well as to help ensure the continued safety of our guests and crew, we are temporarily suspending all cruising operations globally beginning tomorrow, 3/15th wand plan to resume sailing again on Saturday, 4/11.
