It's like the Christina aguilera song ' beautiful

We are not all perfect or beautiful but that is absolutely bloody fine.
Most of us a bit wonky in some way but we are kind or funny or clever or interesting or contented, all of which is much more important than beautiful or perfect.

I know it doesn't scan properly but ' i am absolutely fine just the way i am' is a better way to think of it.

Isn't that point that you're perfect (or beautiful) just the way you are? It's essentially saying the same thing as what you're saying. 🤷‍♀️

Haven’t seen it but I hate the Marc Jacobs Daisy Daisy Daisy advert so presume I’d hate this one too.

In other words perfect (just the way you are)?

Well, we're not all beautiful though are we Grin And why should we feel the need to be? It really doesn't matter.

And perfection doesn't exist, and to chase it is a surefire way to discontent...

Yes I hate it, and the stupid Daisy daisy daisy one aswell!

That one comes across like they’re in a cult. Creepy.
FluffyBooBoo · 05/12/2021 20:06

Interesting that you have an issue with that advert, when perfume adverts are literally full of 'perfect' 'beautiful' people, and this is the exception - and it's basically saying exactly what you are - just saying it in a different (and simpler) way.

This!!!

It is like carpet weavers deliberately incorporating mistakes into their carpets because only god creates perfection.

God I hate this one too, absolutely dreadful.

I think their point is to be as irritating as humanly possible

RaininSummer · 05/12/2021 20:10

Urgg that Daily ad. They all seem to be missing brain cells.

LastSummerHere · 05/12/2021 20:11

The Manson Family springs to mind when I see the Daisy advert.

steff13 · 05/12/2021 20:14

Well, we're not all beautiful though are we?

Uh, yes, we are. The point is that if you are yourself then you are beautiful.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 05/12/2021 20:16

I really fucking hate it OP I find it nauseating- basically saying how fabulous all these outlandishly different (to a model) looking people are, yet would probably rip to shreds an actual everyday woman.

TheRigatonini · 05/12/2021 20:16

Well it’s pretty disingenuous anyway isn’t it. I saw it earlier and thought they would be horrified at the prospect of about 95% of their viewers appearing on their ‘everyone’s perfect’ advert.

TheVolturi · 05/12/2021 20:17

I hate all Marc Jacobs adverts! What is it with repeating one word over and over? Perfect perfect perfect, Daisy Daisy Daisy 🤬🤬🤬

TooBigForMyBoots · 05/12/2021 20:20

Maybe his advertising company charges per word.

Uh, yes, we are. The point is that if you are yourself then you are beautiful.

I am certainly not! I am reasonably bright, i am kind and patient with children but i am not beautiful or perfect!

I'm glad someone said this because I thought I was alone in my loathing. Its not every perfume advert, as silly as they are, because I like the chanel no 5 one which makes no sense. It is still classy. It really is irritating, worst advert to put you off perfume ever.

StoneofDestiny · 05/12/2021 21:02

They all seem to be saying 'purfect' instead of 'perfect' to me - but I guess it's an accent thing.

MissMinutes24 · 05/12/2021 21:06

The other one I hate is that faux activism one with Zendaya. It's so embarrassing.

Howeverdoyouneedme · 05/12/2021 21:12

That Daisy one is the moronic.

ssd · 05/12/2021 21:17

That advert has just come on.
You're right its shit.
