Okay, so the PR department at the St. Petersburg Times is launching a new ad campaign for columnists and critics. The idea is artsy outside-the-box pix. For my ad, one idea was to re-create an iconic album image. Sure, it's been done, but it might be cool.

I was also thinking of getting the FF and Lulu involved, a shot that blends home and work. But the FF wasn't keen on the readers who hate my guts knowing what our kid looks like. Good point.

So I come to you, gang. I'm DESPERATE for ideas. Here's the deal. For every 10 withering jokes at my expense, I'd appreciate one badass idea. Tee off on me, but then come up with a cool image. There's a record warehouse in town with some 30 million albums, and I could probably stage a shot there. But if you dream up something better, I'll gladly go with that.

The weirder, wilder the better. Push the envelope, baby!!!
