The Tangential: Your stages of celebrity life, as greeted by weekly gossip magazines

thetangential:

Birth: Oh, aren’t you cute! Can we get a photo of your mom holding you against her belly? We’ll run it next to the photo we took of her preggers last month. And one with Daddy! Now that you’re here, your parents the pop star and the pro snowboarder are finally a family!

Starting grade…

A very funny and scarily accurate way to summarize how tabloids treat the celebrity life cycle.

Masterminds Fun Fact #82

Every Mastermind is an interior designer. (In their own way, at least). 

Have you seen this before?

always do more than you’re asked to

1. Until someone can do things better than you can, you should do them yourself.
2. It’s not dead if you keep fighting for life.
3. Keep coming back with something better. The best revenge is a better ad.
4. Know what you want and keep demanding it until you either a) get it or b) get fired. This is better than compromise.
5. Always do more than you’re asked to do. Always try to sell more to your client than they’ve asked for. 
6. Around everything you try to do there is a chorus of chatter that “wouldn’t do it that way.” It’s best to ignore that chatter.
7. Hard work and persistence can overcome nearly anything.
8. It doesn’t hurt to thank the client at the end of every meeting and phone call.
9. The people who have never done it before always say they know a better way to do it.
10. Stay away from breakfast burritos. You’re way better off with a simple bowl of cornflakes and a banana.
