The same ad firm that did this ad (in Toronto, Canada) also handles their Axe ads, which brazenly advertise the beauty ideals that they allege to break. Also Dove is amongst the largest users of palm oil, which causes the destruction of the rainforest to fulfil this need killing hundreds, if not thousands of orangutans. Greenpeace did a spoof video based off of the Onslaught ad which is the sequel to this ad, and again done by the very same ad firm. This entire beauty campaign is in reality just a marketing gimmick to appeal to an audience that had otherwise avoided Unilever's long line of cosmetic products. The message is great, but there is no sincerity in their brand or corporation. It’s the dove evolution ads, highly controversial because Dove is owned by Unilever, which owns Axe.

I don't think it should surprise many that the photos we see in magazines and on billboards are photo shopped to such a degree that nobody could hope to replicate it naturally. Thanks for sharing!

]]> Comment on Most Models Are Not Tall & Thin by Dania Denise http://www.minormodel.com/most-models-not-tall-and-thin/#comment-20 Dania Denise Mon, 12 May 2008 17:02:54 +0000 http://www.minormodel.com/?p=15#comment-20 Thank you for reinforcing what I have been saying for a long time! It's amazing that because of shows like ANTM and Make Me a Supermodel, people have come to think that the world of fashion/runway is the majority of the industry. Quite the contrary. It seems that people still tend to overlook the whole commercial/print industry, which has always been in more demand than fashion/runway and they look at them everyday without even realizing it. Great post and I love the photos you used. Keep up the good work! Thank you for reinforcing what I have been saying for a long time!
