I guess Candies wants you to dress and look like a whore but don't sleep around.

Great program

6. Bristol isn't a model for a shoes but does ads for Candie's Foundation
which is run by the Candies Shoe Brand.

7. I'm sure Sarah's fans don't think she poops. Actually it's Jenny McCarthy
I believe, from an old ad.

At any rate, Bristol is as shallow as her mother. No surprise here.

10. A naked woman, a sexual woman, is not automatically 'a whore'.
That attitude is as outdated and harmful to women as absurd abstinence programs are. I hope you'll change the language of your otherwise good post.

11. No I won't and here's why
Edited on Tue May-25-10 11:01 AM by LynneSin
Look at the link to Candies.com - look how they sex and tart up Britney Spears. And look at the history of their ads like that one with Jenny McCartney. They have another ad where the girl is sitting on a computer monitor with a guy in front of the computer and a photo of a rocket on the screen. That rocket is right under her crotch.

They are the ones whoring women with some of these sexually charged ads. Then they try to make up for what they have done by paying for Abstinence programs with ads that feature Bristol Palin.

I'm simply calling them out for the way they have been for over 25 years. I remember when Candies were pushed back when I was in high school. Their ads were always targetted towards teenage girls and always showed a bit of sleaze and sex to sell their shoes. I mean, I love a nice sexy shoe as much as the next person but I don't buy my shoes in hopes that I look like a tramp.

You can I can agree to disagree but I won't change what I wrote. My anger is how this shoe line has branded themselves not just recently but over the decades. So they think they can redeem themselves by running an abstinance foundation - shame on them!

12. Re: the ad w/ the rocket -
Why don't you interpret it as the man being presented as a sexual object for the pleasure of the woman - as opposed to the woman being 'a whore'?
