double whoa!

you know what, i love this ad. i love this model. and no i don’t want to horse around or take a shower with her. i just like to look at her because she’s pretty. i don’t see any reason to deny that.

plus the spot really makes me feel good. it’s gives me that “unbearable lightness of being” feeling (the sabina character, not the tereza character).

i mean c’mon, there are party lights everywhere, even on the canoe.

there are fireworks inside of a heart.

there’s a full moon surrounded by swirling clouds.

there are chandeliers in the teepee.

there’s dancing performed in beautiful red underwear and brown suede boots.

there are freckles.

there’s a catchy song.

and there’s a great rack, which probably wasn’t increased two cups sizes by the push-up bra like aerie claims but who gives a flying monkey?  it makes me feel less tense and dreamy for 30 seconds without any side effects. booyah!

and no, this ad doesn’t lead me to believe that the whole world is going to hell in a hand basket because it’s pushing sexuality on tweens.  if we raise our girls right and give them a strong moral foundation, then bra commercials, shows with the kardashians, and lindsay lohan’s antics won’t turn them into total sluts to define their self-worth.  besides this isn’t a modern day problem created by advertisers.  i was stuffing my bra with toilet paper at age 14. some girls aspire to look sexy. i’m not really bothered by that. being sexy and feminine shouldn’t produce shame, at least not at an age where we begin to have those feelings. it may not be for everyone and that’s ok, too. what we need to teach young girls is to accept who they are, and accept others who aren’t like them.

it’s all good.

here’s another one to prove it. can you say flowers everywhere!

    Double yay! A post from you, PLUS a realistic perspective on boobs and stuff. I, too, wanted big boobs as a tween. I was all about the padded bras. That said, I’m thankful Hayden came out a boy :)

    That makes my boobs hurt. Oh wait, maybe that’s not why they hurt. But please, no pushing.

    Dude, harness them in an underwire and get a picture. Trust me. You’ll look back, past the pain and realize you could have served drinks in the next state. Wait, not FROM your mammary glands, just balancing them on the epic shelf they create.

    sensitive boobies make me feel womanly. womanly is a weird word.

    Womanly is right up there with the word “comely” as a descriptor. WTF??!!!

    Aww, you’re back! I like a good underwear commercial, too, because it makes me envision myself as perhaps a young Drew.Of course, Lord knows this 38D does not need any bonus cup size, but she likes bonus feeling pretty alright about herself!

    My boobs were always two sizes too small. Now that I’ve had the honor of nursing half the free world I have earned decent sized jugs.

    And when she reemerges she comes back with enough sass and insight to make missing her completely worth it…but, please, don’t leave for such long periods of time! And way to point out that it is up to us to raise our girls with morals and self-worth…and shaming girls for wanting to be a bit sexy is what leads to victim blaming which is complete bullshit.
    I have to say, I came to terms long ago with a flat chest. And being bra-less. Aww…freedom. That said…I want a Drew offering panties that add a least two more handfuls to each cheek! I want. I want. I want!

    patty punker Reply:

    victim mentality is complete bullshit! thank you for bringing the smart and pointing that out.

    bra-less and flat chested is hot! and reminds me of summer and tank tops, so yay> lightness!

    drew could make all your (collective your, not your your) wishes come true. christ, you’d think i was her agent or something. it’s so like me to get carried away.

    Okay, I am not sure how comfortable a squeezy-y push-up-y bra would be, and am not a boob man at all (it’s the gay thing), however I do gotta agree that it is just a joyous commercial that seems to aim simply for fun, which is totally entertaining…..

    [Reply]

    patty punker Reply:

    joyous! that’s the perfect one word description for this commercial.

    I am being a great spouse. I will wait and watch these with my middle-aged husband. Oh, maybe that would be creepy? But maybe won’t be that bad since thank goodness we only have boys…

    The world needs more controversy because it brings you back to the bloggy world! xxoo

    [Reply]

    patty punker Reply:

    if i didn’t think that i would have loved that commercial even more than i do now when i was 14, then maybe i’d see the controversy. but all i see is pretty, lightness and free-spirit. obviously i’m not really a deep thinker. plus, anything that draws you nearer to me is a lucky charm!

    I fucking love that commercial!!! And you!!! I refuse to consider myself in a relationship again until a man has built me a teepee strung entirely with lights……in return, I will dance around in it wearing my bra and panties. Seems fair, right??!!

    You’re too funny. Glad you’re back. I agree for the most part. I do think it’s all about the parenting. You’ve got to give kids the right values. Once in a while the advertising does even offend me, and I’m not easily offended. And, you’re probably right. The bra in the commercial didn’t do anything. She was born with it.

    there has always been less than ideal external influences and there always will be. kids can still grow with a good head on their shoulders with solid parenting.

    You know to this day I can picture perfectly a razor commercial from my childhood because I thought the model in it was the prettiest woman on earth? Every once and awhile I even wonder what became of her. I’m sure some caffeine fueled 3am internet surfathon will figure it out someday.
