Using 873 stock images, BBDO Brazil and director Cisma created this video for their client Getty Images. Usually stock images are something to laugh at, but in this case, this video is just beautiful. The entire research and construction of this project took six months to complete.

In things I learned today…manatees look like this. I am in awe of this photograph by Christopher Wright of CMGW Photography
This is the most wondrous thing I have seen in such a long time.

Despite being gone from Yow Yow! for an entire week, the blog has still been receiving its typical number for visitors! Thanks for sticking around y’all!
With graduation just around the corner, life has picked up a bit. I’ve been tying up some loose ends and spending time with some dear friends and family. I know that, however, Yow Yow is always going to be here. I may not have had the chance to post daily for awhile now, but the pressure of keeping up with every day news just got to be a little bit too tough for me. Will that change when I am a working girl? We shall see.
So it’s been a crazy whirlwind of a past two weeks.
But most importantly, in the last two weeks (probably in the last month since I said this not too long ago,) I have laughed and smiled more than I ever have in my years here at Seattle University. It is such a joy being a senior, but my time here would not be worth anything if not for those around me and in my life.
You guys, my last week of college is next week. I’m not even going to try to wrap my head around that right now at 10 PM.
We like to eat at small burger drive-ins.
We spend our mornings and afternoons chalking our Quad for our biggest event of the year.
Mayer Hawthorne made all of my dreams come true.
My girl, Euna Kho, killed it w/ her set.
And a little senior soiree action with my favorite junior Steph!
I can’t exactly explain why Adam Brody is my dream crush. I mean I could try to explain, but I’m not sure if it would make sense to anyone. Adam Brody as Seth Cohen was a freakin’ dreamboat. He loved Death Cab For Cutie. Hello – Death Cab For Cutie is like the anthem band for any Seattle resident. Seth Cohen was all into his comic books. I knew my X-Men characters. His hobbies included skateboarding, boating, and being stealth. I’m not into any one of those things, but I can learn to appreciate it.
If Adam Brody would reprise his role as Seth Cohen in his own series, I would watch it. It has been five years, but his appeal has not faltered one bit.
The actor was recently featured in this spread for GQ and he looks damn good. Just sayin’…

“The content is offensive and inappropriate for a teen who is the company’s target customer.” And they’re asking supporters to boycott the retailer: “Tell them you will also no longer shop at their stores if you hear this type of advertising continues.”
Whatever, man. There’s always some organization that brings up this issue every month. [Source]

Before the Manic Pixie Indie Dream Girl phase happened, every girl aspired to be the free-spirited woman. Our icons included Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Kate Hudson. They were charming, funny, sweet, young, and coincidentally all blonde. I’ve watched my fair share of movies growing up and while I loved the 90′s romantic comedies taking place in high school, I liked to pretend that I actually knew all that was going on in movies like There’s Something About Mary or Charlie’s Angels. I was age eight and ten, respectively, when those movies came out.
Cameron Diaz is just that actress that remains to be unforgettable despite not always being in the spotlight. I absolutely love this shot of her on the new cover for InStyle. The editorial isn’t my favorite, but you can peep the rest of the images here!
This video makes me a little uncomfortable only because…I hope that this isn’t me in real life. It’s pretty silly, but you know you’ve got a friend or two that does the same thing – or maybe that only friend is just me.

You can read the announcement from Facebook found Mark Zuckerberg here.
Also, there are like six people who work at Instagram. SIX.
- Seattle Restaurant Week began! This year, it runs through April 8-19. Check out the participating restaurants here.
- We viewed Death Cab For Cutie’s live music video for “You Are A Tourist.”
- We read some news and stuff.
- Madewell debuted their Fall 2011 collection and it was glorious!
- I got a little antsy about summer wedding season. Ashley and I spent 45 minutes watching wedding/proposal videos this evening.
- I wanted to buy some things. What else is new?
- There were a few things that I was obsessing over and they were awesome. Enough said.
- This infographic already told us what we already knew about the Pacific Northwest.
- This book was pretty cool.
- I wondered why Washington never had any cool prints made for them like this one.
- This is the best excuse I’ve ever seen.
Even topless, Lauren Conrad still manages to look super sweet and classy on the cover of Glamour. The reality star turned fashion designer turned author can do no wrong.
I can’t say that I absolutely love the sporty trend that is upon us, but Freida Pinto can do no wrong.
What a gorgeous spread! Seeing this reminds me that Revenge is overdue for another new episode. ABC, can you…get on our level? I’m ready to see Emily’s next takedown.
Ben Boutwell and Steven Alan shot this short film in Hawaii using frames and it’s pretty silly.

After perusing through some of my favorite wedding blogs for some time now, I have seen my fair share of engagement photos based on popular movies. There aren’t usually any that melt my heart (except maybe this snapshot of a Harry Potter one,) but who am I kidding? I’ve got a soft spot for all things wedding-related.

Dianna Agron is an actress that happens to be a mystery to me. She plays a character in a popular television show, but no matter what happens, I cannot relate to her character. I can’t even root for her most of the time and I’m not sure why. It’s probably because even when you think she’s turned to the good side, all she ever wants to be a darn cheerleader again. Even though she remains a mystery, she is still someone that surprises me with her talent. Dianna, in real life (I wouldn’t know, but I can imagine) is not similar to Quinn Fabray. Outside the halls of William McKinley High School, Dianna started a website called “You, Me & Charlie” and in this new photo shoot for it, Agron got real hip.
Inspired by one of my favorite novels, “The Secret Garden,” Dianna and friends collaborated on a photo series surrounding the story’s images.
