For this blog I wanted to have a title that didn’t limit me to a particular subject, geolocation (I live in New York City), age group, whatever. I like how Amazon.com’s name allowed them to move into more areas than if they wanted to be just Books.com.
I was inspired by both Amazon and other blogs like Towleroad and Vivid Blurry and Gawker. Their names are simple and nonspecific. Originally I was thinking Bottom Feeder. But Bottom Feeder makes me sound like someone who is crazy about analingus, as opposed to what I would want it to stand for which is “someone who loves shitty culture and holds it in high regard. a lover of camp.”
I started to look around my office. I was thinking about all the cool production and editorial companies in advertising. One of my favorite companies is Furlined. They have Dougal Wilson, Pleix, Douglas Avery, Lynn Fox, and several other really great directors. Please check out their website here for great commercials and music videos.
I then remembered that Barbarella (one of my all-time favorite movies) flies around in a Furlined Spaceship. So I thought, “what about Furlined Spaceship”. It was after that that I thought how ridiculous that would sound when people are saying it outloud to their friends or when Entertainment Tonight was talking about how funny and interesting I am. So I shortened it back to just plain old Furlined after polling my friends Jesse (a boy) and Sam (a girl). I hope the nice folks at Furlined don’t mind.
And speaking of Barbarella… Peter Webber and Sienna Miller are attached to the remake of the film. This news came out yesterday. Madness… please don’t fuck with that great movie.
