Angels or Sluts?


This advertisement is for the Victoria’s Secret heavenly perfume. The ad is of a blonde Victoria’s Secret model that is completely naked. She is wearing nothing but a white angels wing. The woman is holding her hands over her breasts and kneeling down so that her vagina isn’t being shown. She is in a very sexual pose and her facial expressions are very seductive and sexual. The advertisement is aimed towards woman because it is a woman’s scent but the ad seems to be getting the male’s attention. This ad was also found in a gossip magazine, which isn’t usually going to be read by men. The ad is contradicting in this way because what it’s selling physically is for females, but what its selling in the sexual way is for men. The ad is telling women that if you wear this perfume then you will look as beautiful as the model in the photograph. It is misleading because obviously wearing a certain scent cannot change your outer appearance. The ad is also telling woman that you can be sexual but still be considered an angel. The angel wings she is wearing add a certain sense of innocence to her image, even though she is in such a seductive pose.
