The Retro Activewear Commercial from Old Navy – Old Actors, Old Music, New Style!

Old Navy reached way back for parts of their latest commercial. Namely, the music and an actress/musician from the days of yore. Check out the ad then scroll down for the details…

First up is Lindsay Lohan. Not exactly old but she’s been a household name for a long time, since her debut in The Parent Trap (1998). Going back to the prior decade, the song in the ad is called “Whip It” from Devo in 1980.

And then there’s Charro. She does it all from musician to singer to actress to being a mom and wife. If you didn’t catch her in the ad, she’s the one riding the stationary bike in one clip and saying “Olé!” in a clip towards the end.

A nice retro style ad from a brand not known for their exercise apparel. Watch out Lululemon! Old Navy’s coming for your female audience. And maybe some guys, too. And yes, Lululemon has guys clothing. It still surprises me, too. Olé!

Teenagers Getting Buicks? What the???

Everything I know about teen trends I learned from my nieces. Squatted trucks. New music. Saying “bruh” every third word. Love Island. But there’s one I never saw coming. Buick. Isn’t that our grandparents brand?

While Buick doesn’t land on this list of best cars for teens, the “It’s a Buick” lineup, and especially the Buick Encore, does definitely have the look of something a high school girl would want. Small, compact, sporty, cute.

I keep saying “that is so you” and no one gets it. I used to recoil every time one of those commercials aired. Here’s one that will have you bewildered. The soccer coach and the soccer mom, you know they’re fooling around on the weekends.

I actually really like that Buick changed their logo too, which means a lot coming from me. I generally hate logo changes, especially this one. The Buick change is subtle. They dropped the ring around the 3 shields back in 2022, the first major update since the 1990s.

I’m pretty sure it’s still considered an “old person” car but for some reason, my teenage niece loves hers. And she’s hip. She’s cool. She got a Buick… that is so her.

St. Teresa Sunrise Landscape Photos

Is there anything better than a sunrise on the coast? These are a few pictures from this past week in the St. Teresa Beach, Florida and Panacea, Florida. If you have a chance to visit the Forgotten Coast, do it. I tend to focus on wildlife when I take pictures at the coast but this time I shifted to landscape scenes (more on that later) so here are a few of my favorites. If you have a favorite, comment at the bottom of the post!

Family – the beach vacation 2025

If pictures are worth a thousand words, what is a video worth? Videos are just a series of pictures in rapid succession, and this one is a lot of pictures! Check out a highlight video of my family’s yearly reunion.
