Someone made a complaint about this image being
shown on the bus billboards in Paris, on the grounds that it was
degrading to women. And it was judged 'somewhat' offensive
by the relevant authorities.
In MHO, the whole thing shows the silliness of censorship.
That image is cute, funny and cheerful in an otherwise bleak
Christmas. it is also self-mocking - which for a Luxe brand - is a
joy.
I actually bought a pair of faux leather jeggings earlier in the season,
mine in a nice tasteful dark red for the holidays 😉. Couldn't try them on -
pandémie oblige - but it was in a trusted brand, in my size and I own
some of their products. Long story short, it is actually impossible to move
in these pants: one might stand drink in hand in an event, but forget sitting
down: lying prostrate on the couch is about the best one can do.
Ended up taking them back; I could hurt myself on a snowy day. And I do
sit at the computer a lot.
That image tells the whole story: wanting a fun Christmas, but cocooned
in a banal reality.
And it does show the posterieur of the model. Those leggings showed that
as well, perhpas a tad rounder and with shorter legs. Oh hum! Merry X!
