…I sure as hell find it darn unsexy, as well as pretty tedious and (dare I say it) unnecessary.
Oh well, I guess that makes me an inferior female specimen – unsexy, very creased and occupied with better things to do than bloody ironing.

I saw this advert in Italy and just thought I’d share it. I couldn’t imagine seeing a similar image used commercially in the UK – even images used to advertise breast feeding accessories over here will often see the models covering-up and pretending.
The image I spotted, however, is advertising something that couldn’t have less to do with breast feeding (but please enlighten me if you know better!) – a male cologne from the design house of Masaki Matsushima. An unusual choice, hey?

Edit: I had a little search around for more information about Masaki Matsushima’s perfumes and found that, like other brands, the packaging has far too much to say about gender! Take a look at how the masculine perfume bottles lovingly slot in the the feminine ones!
