My thoughts when I first saw this picture, as they jumped onto the hamster wheel in my head: 1. Wow, that mannequin is super skinny! 2. But aren’t all mannequins super skinny? At least this one’s anatomically correct. It (she?) even has a bellybutton and nips – clearly they sprang for the high-end model! (Model! Hahahah! …
This has nothing to do with Equinox other than the fact that I think Stewie is totally their target customer. Because a good workout can make you act so bad. Equinox gyms recently rolled out their new ad campaign. I had two immediate thoughts: 1. This is light years better than that awful porny Terry Richardson …

I love this ad! I bet Death is a smoker. Everything I learned about fitness models I learned from a stripper. Well, an ex-stripper. She was at the book-signing table next to me at local event a while back and because neither of us were selling any books (book signing = sitting and trying not …
