Get Outliers, 40% Off

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

It appears that I am in fact the hair police, and I need to make another arrest.

Meet Malcolm Gladwell, author of Tipping Point, Blink, and most recently, Outliers (which conveniently is on sale for 40% Off on the Simply Audiobooks website!).

Generally speaking, I totally dig the fro. But Malcolm’s is looking really tattered here– a bit like Sideshow Bob meets Albert Einstein. Not that there’s anything wrong with Einstein. After watching a show about his life on the biography channel, I went through a phase where I whole heartedly believed we were soul mates. (Hey, I was 14, and compared to the guys at my high school, a dead genius was totally dreamy…)

Anyway, if enough of you buy Malcolm’s books, perhaps he will set aside some cash for a hair cut. Or, will at the very least will be able to afford some conditioner.

He’s not only changed the way we look at the world, but also how we think about thinking, and now how we understand success. So it’s only right that we help him out in return, right?

Get your copy of Outliers today, at 40% off!

And if you’re in the Toronto area, Malcolm Gladwell will be at the University of Toronto Convocation Hall on December 1, at 5:00 PM to speak with Roger Martin, Dean of the Rotman School of Business. You think they’ll talk about his hair?

Twilight Saga, 40% Off

Friday, November 21st, 2008


Dear Robert Pattinson,

You’re touring the world for one of the biggest hyped movies of the year. Perhaps THE biggest hyped movie of the year. I’m sure it’s so crazy for you right now with all the attention you’re getting and the hysterical screaming girls that chase you down the street, and yet you seem to be really handling it all well. In fact, I totally prefer you to those High School Musical kids.

You’ve been doing tons of interviews and promotional events for the movie, and I know that takes a lot of time. But please, PLEASE, wash your hair! I beg you! If you’re tired, have someone wash it for you. I’m sure you can afford it. Actually, there are tons of girls out there that would probably do it for free.

Look, I get that it was the style for the movie, and on a 108 year old vampire trapped in a 17 year old’s body when you’re trying to be all lustful and mysterious and brooding… I’ll let it go. But you’re not filming the movie any more. You’re not ACTUALLY a vampire! So before your next public appearance, can you please try and find some time to wash your hair?

Love,

Heather

P.S. Get all the books in the Twilight Saga on CD 40% off, today only! Visit the 25 Days of Christmas calendar for more details.

P.P.S. Since it’s the audio version, you don’t have to worry about the whole hair thing. You can just pretend that he’s washed it… or not! It’s up to you.
