So true about the wrinkle cream adverts! You need a microscope to see any presence of crows feet on the photoshopped models-

Ugh .. Loud groan!

I'm positive my husband concurred .. He preferred blonde hair and big baps to look at -- I've neither -

I agree! The only time I get annoyed when a young person is used is when the advert is for anti-wrinkle cream and they are obviously far too young to have any.

I agree to an extent overthehill but I also think that the constant portrayal of 'perfect' women sends out the wrong message to young impressionable girls. Very few of us have beautiful bodies and faces but we do have happy fulfilling lives.

What do you think of the trend advertisers are using employing 'real women' instead if young attractive models. Think you can guess where I'm sitting with this one.

If I wanted to look at an unattractive lumpy female with her best years behind her, dressed in her underwear I just need to look in the mirror.

Give me something more pleasant it won't make an iota of difference as to whether I buy the product or not.
