Adidas, Chase-let's make a commercial!‏

Watch out, ScarJo and Julia! I have the most perfect idea for a commercial, it will be a smashing success and I want to be the star.

Here's how I came up with it (based on a true story): I was headed out for a run on a beautiful summer day in my uber-cute Adidas running skirt. As I walked out the door, I realized I needed cash for later that night, so I rather brilliantly constructed a plan to stash my Chase ATM card in a little secret pocket in my skirt. ''I'll just swing by the Chase on Ashland Avenue and grab some money,'' I thought, then took off. On my way back, I made a quick detour and ran through the parking lot of my bank, bounding up to a drive-thru machine. Whipped out my card and, as Salt N Peppa sang ''Push It'' on my iPod, I entered my PIN number, jogging in place to keep my heart rate up.

A few more beep, beep, beeps, out came my money, got my card, I'm still hopping in place...and just as I've tucked the goods back into my skirt and turn to run home, a Jeep full of guys fresh from the Cubs game pulled up and I took off, leaving them in my dust.

Now, am I crazy or does this not absolutely reek with potential for being a really cute, Mentos-like commercial showcasing the ease of use of Chase ATMs (money wherever you need it, fast!) with the dedication to health and ease of movement of Adidas' clothing. I swear, I can see this airing between segments of Grey's Anatomy. I think the fact that ''Push It'' was playing literally as I pushed the buttons was especially serendipitous. The commercial need not feature me, I suppose. But if this comes to fruition, I get a cut! Leslie calls patent!

I shall now sit back and wait for the offers to flood in.

Leslie- I would like to let you know that I purchased your book a few days ago and have failed to read anything else (even my text books!). It is funny and insightful and wonderful and I am going to make a few of my friends read it (mainly the ones who go to the gym with me and engage in locker room chat :-P). Thanks for all of your work!

Do it, Leslie!! Maybe you can get Adidas as your sponsor:) I love the image of having the girl running through the drive-thru ATM!

That sounds sweet though I have to admit I'm partial to Puma myself. I just love the puma jumping off on the tip of my shoes :) That is a cool skirt though and nice that we don't have to resort to fanny packs anymore!

This would make a cute commercial. I want an adidas workout skirt! That sounds adorable, plus, you killed two birds with one stone.

Adidas is coming out with a lot of good new sneakers and I appreciate that but I just cant see them surpassing what Nike has done and continues to do, particularly things like Nike Dunks are very popular and Adidas has not come out with a good premium shoe that can compete with the the Nike Dunks, at least thats why I continue to buy Nike.
