USC Branding: Cardinal Gold…and Black?
Written on May 10, 2011 at 7:19 pm, by cct
As a double alumna from the University of Southern California, I have to say that the posts I read today on Lost Angeles and Sports in Stilettos about possibly adding black to the football uniforms seem – well – ridiculous.
First off, why? I think there’s plenty of reasons to change things for the sake of rebranding, particularly if the palette of your school colors are not as particularly awesome as my alma mater. But cardinal and gold are pretty awesome colors. There’s something kind of glorious with seeing them on the field, bright and vibrant…and very Southern California…beating schools like the other school in town.
Things I Wish We Were Doing Instead of Cheering “USA! USA!”

- Help out relief efforts in the South. Osama’s passing did not stop tornados and floods.
- Continue the dialogue of healing and working toward a better future. Violence is a vicious cycle and let’s get out of it.
- Speaking of violence, aside from the things happening in the Middle East – there’s crazy stuff happening just south of our border in Mexico. It is affecting our people, has affected our people, and we’re part of the problem.

La Vida de Caridad: Hollywood Observations
Written on April 16, 2011 at 10:24 pm, by cct
Saturday night. Hollywood Boulevard crawls with tourists and locals.
Cameras flash at Madame Tussauds – faux celebrities are almost the real thing, right?
Pass by Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, compare your footprints with them – celebrities who walked on the air of fame past and present. How do your hands compare against theirs? How do your feet? If they match, is your joy because you are almost like them or that you see that they are more like us – who exist on the fringe of red carpets and lit ceremony?
