Seeking An Attractive Girl To Help Me Set Up A Website

I recently registered a web site www.chicagovintageguitars.com. I am looking for a cute, pleasant young women to help me setup and maintain a simple web site. Nothing fancy, text, photos etc. This would be a part-time business for me but I would like a site that I would be proud of and one that is effective. I have an office in downtown Chicago and I live about 10 minutes south of the loop.
I am looking for a cute girl for several reasons. I have dealt with men in regards to computers, they are not good teachers. Also I would like you to model with some of the guitars. Wear a tasteful outfit, stand with the guitar and smile. You would be paid a fair hourly wage. I am a mature, white, professional and educated gentleman. You do not have to have a lot of experience just the knowledge and pride in doing a good job. I am polite, easygoing and respectful of women. The last thing in the world that I would do is sign a contract with some aggressive web site design firm and end up feeling that I am working for them.
Please send a photo and tell me about yourself. Thank you.
So, how does this relate to advertising? To me, it seems that an entire generation is being given the opportunity and tools to express themselves in a creative, productive way. The skills that they can learn here can both directly and indirectly influence the industry because some of these talented people could, at some point, decide that the experience they had would be beneficial in advertising, marketing, branding and PR. I wouldn’t be surprised if, at some point, these kids become future students at Brandcenter, The Creative Circus or other advertising/portfolio schools. Additionally, this is a group that could, one at a time, add much needed diversity to the industry.
Yes, the diversity debate will go on and it would be wrong for me, as a white, middle-class guy to be cavalier about it. It’s also tough for me to even open my mouth about diversity lest I get “blogttacked.” I know that I can’t control what people think or say. And I can’t control the fact that I am white. But I do know that there is good work being done here for all the right reasons. What I saw in Central Oregon matters—what Caldera does matters.
CWM in the United States often feel that corporate diversity initiatives do not include them—that “diversity is about everyone else but them” or that “they are the ones who now have to understand others, but others don’t have to understand them.” At face value, neither of these statements is true. CWM are key players in any organization, and the success of diversity initiatives needs their creative involvement just as it does the creative involvement of others. Moreover, members of other groups have spent decades leaving their different culture at the doorstep of the U.S. mainstream workplace to try to adopt or adapt to a cultural style that mainly fits and serves CWM. CWM miss the extent to which others have had to change their ways to accommodate them, so it seems now that the onus of having to change falls only on them. CWM, looking for others to ante up, fail to notice that the money of others is already in the pot.
Sometimes you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Dan did what very, very few ad cats of his stature do. He told the truth. Since the truth is more of what we need, I wouldn’t blast him for telling it like it is.
And while Dan can, should and absolutely will do better in terms of hiring more folks of color, he does deserve some credit for what he has done.
These are some of the folks of color who have (or still currently) worked at W+K.
Darryl McDonald - AD and the first brotha in the creative department
John Jay - ECD and the first partner of color in the history of W+K
Kilpatrick Anderson - AD
Feh Tarty - CD
Cheeraz Gorman - CW is a new hire and a star on the rise
Keith Cartwright - CD on Brand Jordan
Desmond Marzette - Writer
Brandon Pierce - CW
Charles Hall - CD
Jayanta Jenkins - AD
Tina Davis used to run Brand Jordan on the account side
Dara Marshall - Account Supervisor
Arty Tan - AD
Craig Namba - CW
Adrian Hilton - AD
Javier Castillo - AD
Donna Lamar headed up the production department in Amsterdam.
Robert Nakata - CD
And I worked there, too.
