ARVO on the eyes
FROM THE VAULT: April 22, 2016
Sometimes, fellow FutureBranders, we get so distracted by things like work and clients and stuff that we forget to acknowledge just how strikingly handsome Brian Meyers really is. Now I'm not talking about above average good looks here. I’m saying that as a happily married middle aged married man I’m actually distracted by how handsome Brian Meyers truly is.
Admit it. All of you are, too.
Throughout the years the men of FutureBrand have been cited for many attributes. Drunk, yes. Sweaty, check. Smelly, yeah kinda. But handsome? Let’s just say that we’re not exactly distracting the ladies around here. And with Felix on walkabout, we can’t even fill one month on a bohunk calendar shoot.
Then along came Brian Meyers. Everything he does looks effortless and stylish. Great dresser. Never wrinkles. Great hair. Amazing posture. He’s like a gazelle that walks amongst us trolls.
Who here hasn’t sat across from Brian in a meeting and gotten lost in his McDreamy gaze. Who here hasn’t run the numbers on what they would sacrifice to be Brian, even just for one day? Kidney? Damn right. Chipotle? No problem. The ability to see, taste, smell and hear? Where do I sign up?
I often wonder why Brian works here at all. First because he must be incredibly grossed out by the rest of us and second because, well, would you put PowerPoint presentations together for a living if you were that good looking? I sure wouldn’t. But then I look like what Brian would look like if he let himself go. And I mean really let himself go. And then fell into the ocean and washed up on the shore six months later.
OK, an over-it and very thirsty Veronique is giving me the wrap-it-up sign. She wants to get going to ARVO already where she’ll gladly share Brian with the rest of us (“No I won’t!”). So pencils down and head over to Cornerstone, 52nd and 2nd. Tina, Frida and Mariana have requested an outdoor drinking space. There we will toast to another week in the books and wish Scott Luftig good luck and good grades. Today’s his last day before transitioning from the notional world of branding into the very real world of law school. Brian will definitely need Scott’s legal services when he passes the bar. Restraining orders against happy hour harassment don’t come cheap.
