FTW-Crew--Mr. Tailon, Baveux Prod., Kone, and [Epoxy](http://www.flickr.com/photos/epoxy_one/)--applied a street art version of the Photoshop toolbox to create a nice little piece on beauty. FTW-Crew's efforts are nothing short of hilarious. Check out the gallery for some close-ups on the guerrilla adbusting above. **Implications** - Consumers are looking for more ways to express themselves in modern society where it can be difficult to make yourself heard.
