How about age, and how ones concept of beauty changes, but the advertising world doesn't?...so 50 + year olds are somehow supposed to try to look like 20 somethings? Or shop where? What exactly defines why am I referred to as a mature woman? Whats that all about?
Why do men have BIG & Tall, but women have to be Plus sized? Is that like McDonald's, where plus size is an overdose on fries and a drink that lasts from lunch to dinner.
Well, back to Christmas party planning....
The purpose of marketing is to create a dissatisfaction which can be remedied by buying their product. Advertising will not bring us peace. :-))
ReplyDeleteMature is good, I think. Don't let it continue into spoiled or gone off...
Hah, pretty clever. My wife and I are about to both cross the line to the "big 50". I did the whole midlife crisis where I divorced from a perfectly wonderful, pretty woman because I met someone MUCH younger that I thought I could not live without. Turned out I could not live WITH her. A few years later I met, then later married Janet, a widow. She is short and beautiful....I can't think of anyone or any style that could replace her.
ReplyDeleteI am married to a mature woman. She broke fifty a couple of years ago, and I'll be breaking it in a couple of months. I always say that character makes for the most beautiful people. Doesn't matter how tall, wide, long, what colour, etc.
ReplyDeleteYes, advertising doesn't know the real measure of value for people.
