Take 24,000 Fresh, Ripe, Peaches and Build a Naked Lady…
This was an Australian Advertising stunt…
O.K. Yes I think it’s clever, I guess you could even say she’s well built, a sweet lady, or say it’s a fruitful Advertising campaign.
It is all a little bizarre, a sort of kitch “big thing” perhaps even a challenge to Australia’s epidemic of “big things” like the big Pineapple and the Big Banana… you know the sort of roadside stuff that people flock to, to have their photo’s taken in front of… to prove they were there.
Maybe, we of the southern hemisphere, have been upside down a little too long, maybe it’s doing weird stuff to our brains, maybe it’s some sort of antipodean aneurysm.
However, I’m sure it got heaps of FREE publicity, I’m just not sure what the hell it’s got to do with skin care and weather it would help to make a product more memorable . I will probably remember the girl but not the product.
Anyway, who cares? It looks great and I’m sure it gave a whole lot of people a whole lot of fun, and that is a whole lot more important than selling skin care stuff anyway.
It could give James and the Giant Peach a whole other context
