Retrophilia: Knockin' 'Em Dead
retrophilia (ret troh FEE lee uh) n. 1 An intense attraction for things of the past. 2 a weekly series for popsucker wherin the irrepressible Wootini reveals the horrors of the past to the present to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
Change of pace this week — I'm showing you what's being advertised first. Because it's not the product that's awesome this week, but how they're selling it. Since Listerine tastes like Satan's ass sweat, they've always had to be creative in how they sell it to people. But I can guarantee you won't guess how they're doing it this time!
That is, as they say, a whole lotta look.
I mean, you see the fringe first, and then the crazy head wrap and braided hair extensions (at least, I hope they didn't do that to this poor woman's hair!) before moving on to the dangling chunky jewelry. All that gold dripping off her hand has to weigh a ton, (which is probably how she literally knocks them dead) and I guess she can't even get a shoe on over top of that thing on her toe, hence the barefoot look.
It's a good thing her breath is fresh and clean, because otherwise that would send the guys screaming for the hills. Which would suck, because she clearly went through a lot of effort to draw the men in with her fabulous sense of fashion and style!
Oh, and if you were at all curious (and why wouldn't you be?), the fine print at the bottom reveals that this ensemble is by Michael Mott for Paraphernalia. And you know as ridiculous as it looks, it probably costs a fortune!
