It seems that the good old US of A has got it's knickers in a twist about a plus size lingerie TV advert. The news network ABC banned the add for apparently being too sexy. But the hoo ha really kicked off when they allowed the Victoria Secret Advert to run. Lane Bryant, the company who sell plus size lingerie has come out accusing ABC of sizism and double standards and in the process got more publicity for their lingerie than the advert could have ever achieved. So what does this really mean? Busty lovelies are sexier that their waif like sisters? The bigger the cleavage the more erotically charged the advert is?
I think it's refreshing to see an advert where the model is sized more realistically. If you sell plus sized bras the customers don't look like a barbie doll, Lane Bryant have made a advert that their customers can relate to and realise that there isn't just one definition of beauty and sexiness. Mind you I wouldn't go there for a bra fitting, that bra is clearly too big around the back and not big enough in the cup. (I know I sound like a broken record).
Really too risque for TV?
