I Could Certainly Use a Release

Well, tonight my family sans me was at the YMCA for my little brother's karate lessons, so I had the house all to myself. So, in an astounding breach of my typical behaviour, I decided to watch some TV. While I was watching TV, a commercial came on. (Shocking, I know.) But this was... the best commercial I've ever seen. It's that commercial for the Gap skinny black pants, with Audrey Hepburn dancing, set to Back in Black- AC/DC. Absolutely brilliant.

I haven't actually ever seen an Audrey Hepburn movie, although in seventh grade I did a biography project about her, but now I really really want to see that movie. I think it's called Funny Face, but I'm not sure. I remember a mention of it in the book I read about her, but that was two years ago, so chances are I'm misremembering.

The point is, though, that my favorite AC/DC song + a dance sequence I'm sure I've read about performed by an actress who is one of the most idolized practically ever = absolute perfection, or at least as close to it as commercials are going to get.
