Limited version of masculinity
5 years ago
In these ads. Have you noticed that there seems to be only two types of males represented?
I was flipping through modern ads of scents I deem incredibly masculine and uber macho, and the male models/celebrities aren't what I imagine alongside the scent.
I kind of miss seeing the older dandy type fellow, such as Cary Grant, and the bear shag pile of Burt Reynolds.
As a side note, nothing beats these ads:
* Jardins de Bagatelle from the 80s
* Paloma Picasso and THAT red lipstick
* La Bella Isabella in the Tresor ads
* Claudia as die Cristalle personified
* the old Brut ads where very little was left to suggestion
* Lovely Linda hugging a huge bottle of Fidji
Yeah, I was an 80s teen.
