Doritos Super Bowl Spots



As if decorating the set isn't enough. I occasionally do costume design. It's just like decorating, only on humans. So, the idea is that the tooth fairy shows up and runs into the Dorito fairy. The D-fairy made a good point, the kid is probably going to be buying Doritos with the money, anyway. And the two of them get in a fight and D-fairy punches tooth fairy in the... crotch. It's actually a lot funnier than how I'm describing it. But that might be why I don't WRITE these things.

The tooth fairy was a 6'7" man. Being on a budget, I tried to spend as little as possible. And coincidentally, I was an angel for Halloween just the week before. With the exception to his lace camisole that I purchased, this guy is wearing my: gold sparkly leggings, tutu (borrowed from my girlfriend Jess), wings and blue cardigan. It actually turned out adorable.

The Dorito fairy was a little more challenging. They wanted it to be an evil fairy, almost like a villain. Thank you American Apparel for having pretty much everything. And thank you to the intern that painted the Tinkerbell wings orange. I however, can take credit for the Dorito tiara, which turned out adorable.

Um... one thing that was a little awkward: keeping these men "contained" in their leotards. One thing I hadn't thought of. So, I made a quick run to Sport Chalet down the street and bought the Dorito fairy a jock strap and the tooth fairy a cup for the punching scene. But asking them what sizes to buy was enough to make me blush.
