Truly sorry for the dearth of postings lately. Spring quarter is always a hectic one and I am aiming to raise my GPA to its previous levels, as it dropped to a 3.3 from a 3.6. Anyway, I wanted to post about the controversy surrounding the refusal by two television stations (Fox and ABC) to air a lingerie ad for Lane Bryant’s Cacique line. Of course, this all comes down to the extremely flawed and unfortunate opinion held by far too many that a woman over a certain size couldn’t possibly be portrayed as sexy, sensual or elegant in lingerie. Naturally, I disagree. Here is the commercial:

What makes this decision so hypocritical is the veritable parade of half-dressed women flashing cleavage on an almost hourly basis on both stations. Furthermore, Fox practically trafficks in obscenity. This woman is gorgeous, sexy and may I say, has lovely breasts. But, unfortunately, I do believe many people are unaccustomed to seeing breasts this size on the appropriate, complimentary figure and more accustomed to seeing said size comically hanging next to a well-defined sternum and an outline of the rib cage rarely seen outside of Grey’s Anatomy.
