#TravelTuesday The Canouan Island

For this campaign our BOSS models Davide and Charlotte travelled to the beautiful Canouan Island in the Caribbean. Davide and Charlotte worked overtime, swimming in an infinity pool and relaxing on the beach to imitate a luxury lifestyle. With the skies over Manchester decidedly grey for 90% of the year, this video is the ultimate daydream material for us over at BOSS HQ.

  

The Homeless Poet - 'Life'

After a long day at BOSS HQ, some of our team were out for a drink in the Northern Quarter of Manchester where they were approached by a man, introducing himself as 'The Homeless Poet.' He offered to recite a poem to them on a subject of their choice. Debra, our MD, chose 'life.'

Without hesitating and seemingly unrehearsed, this is the poem he wrote:

I think I’m unlucky,

Or maybe just cursed,

Coz I pray for it to get better,

Yet life keeps getting worse.

And I know we’re all made even,

And equally we are blessed,

But the stronger your beliefs and faith,

The harder your life will test.

Thank you and God Bless

Surprised and amazed by his vivd and poignant view, the team offered him what they had and Debra was even inspired to write a reply:

God Bless you, Homeless Poet, 

I hope we meet again,

You gave us all a treat that night

From your own pad and pen.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...

Is everyone starting to feel a little Christmas-y? Five chocolates down on the advent calendar and 20 days to go until the big fella arrives, the jolly feeling of magical merry-ness and sparkle should be in full swing. If you're not quite feeling there yet, then this 'Fabulously British Christmas' video for Jack Wills featuring Felix should certainly make you tingle with some of that festive excitement.

A different kind of boots

There seems to be a continuing 'boot' theme in our last few posts, maybe it's because we need a new pair.....

Boss Creative Carol McKitty groomed Wayne 'The Hitman' Rooney on today's Short List front cover, celebrating '10 years of giving Premier League defenders concrete boots'.

Bootiful!
