Welcome to the New Week Gentlemen.
This Weeks theme will be

"Ad-Slick Week"

We have seen magazine advertisements for shave products, and this week is your chance to
channel your inner Don Draper, or be that advertising genius from Madison Avenue.

Yes, this is a nod to the highly successful series "MAD MEN" and to one of most unique, interesting, and popular themes.

Here is how it works.
(again just a suggestion, so please post your SOTD, regardless of whether you take part in the theme)

Take your normal SOTD shot or post and dress it up as if it was to be an ad in a Magazine. Can be a full fledged ad, or even just a tag line that would make us want to buy it.

Have Fun and the sky is the limit.

( here is an example)
