Commercials, stage design. Target, in particular, flexed the logo to maximum optical effect.

Much to my surprise we got a millitary escort to LA for a screening of "Factory Girl" in one of those weird silent helicopters (boys and their toys LOL!). Aside from the fact that we had to rappel down into an alleyway off Sunset Blvd, it was a fine evening.<br /><br />Afterwards, at my request, we stayed at the Standard Hotel in Downtown LA, which if you haven't seen it, is famously retro. Since I am retrogirl, I insisted.
