I can’t remember if it was an advert for something but there was a man with long hair and eye make up and a cloak who was just standing there ? But I don’t remember a product ? Maybe I was distracted by him 😂😂 for some reason it popped into my mind today after reading a thread about adverts and I can’t for the life of me remember what it was for ? !

No I just remember a man , with a cloak I’m sure I can’t remember any product or writing / brands ? I just remember i saw it quite often but have no recollection of anything else i can just see the image of him in my mind quite striking, a bit sinister but I don’t remember what it was for at all?!

A Clockwork Orange? 1971 film but it was a popular poster and t-shirt in the 90s.
