(to Justine, I've repositioned this one under a different topic. Thanks)
I wish to cast minds back to something that perplexes me so much i often think that I dreamt it!however does anyone female here recall a particular moment in an afternoon of the droughty summer of 1976 when Playtex actually aired a very singular television commercial.We saw a little girl ask a half dressed older girl why she wore a bra?The advert may well have been the regulatory three minutes long, but it was shot in flooding sunlight through a room with emptied boxes picturing the brand concerned. The older girl drew the little one symbolically near and finally said " For an irresistible figure"This advert more than any other set my female classmates talking and now i cannot find out if it was ever withdrawn or banned.It seems to have significantly escaped the archives and the memories of its reputable producers.I wondered if this was a bold step towards either liberating us from senseless taboos or whether it served to arm the sexualisation now prominent in our marketplace.It had a very peculiar tone . Does anyone know of protests or even discussion about this ad? Please let me know.
