Amazon’s “girl with the ‘stash” ad


You’ve seen it 1K times by now. Teeny school girl with lip whiskers buys a Freddie Mercury- esque bright yellow jacket and “dances” in her homeroom, with her ‘stash. Whoopie! Problems: (1) no depilation, hence, *GAG*, (2) she can’t dance. Oh, she can MOVE. She looks like she’s having an Epiliptic fit. She is lithe and nimble. She is also pedestrian, uninspired and artistically clumsy. She reminds me of Adam Ants’ memorable fumbling around on the Grammy Awards long ago. And I am not kissing a girl with face whiskers. How about you?

Which Amazon somebody’s-brother-in-law do you think dreamed up this abortion?

reply

Agreed. Body odor is also natural. Shall we not fight against it either and embrace our power of stinking up the joint?

The commercial does align perfectly with the current era of "Opposite Day," though. Mandatory acceptance of something on the frontier of extreme and red hot damnation of common sense.

I actually hadn't seen it as I don't watch television and use an ad-blocker on my laptop.

Having looked at it I can only agree it's awful.

Women with facial hair will always be unattractive. People with some fetishism for bearded women are few and far between. Facial hair is a sexually dimorphic trait, masculine in nature. I swear if I ever saw a woman with a beard like my own I'd vomit.

I tweeze my unibrow in the name of decency, if any lady has a moustahce my advice to them is to give it a good seeing to. Most men regularly shave their faces. Removing your facial hair isn't an arduous task.

Any woman who watches this and thinks "hey this is empowering I'm going to rock my moustahce" is in for a rude awakening. A laughing stock. Catty co-workers poking fun at them behind their back. Their partners, should they have one, finding themselves in an awkward predicament having to try politely request the removal of said hair.

What's an "Epiliptic" fit? Is that when your lip quivers uncontrollably? Or does the master have trouble spelling?

I haven’t seen it.

I love it. I love that these younger girls are embracing that they don't have to fit into some corporate version of what makes them pretty. Hair removal is painful, and it's constant, and if they don't want to that's great. There's a meme that I think is from Tumblr which I love that says;

“Reminder: You are under no obligation to look pretty. Not when you are laying around the house, not when you go to the grocery store, not when you sit in a classroom, not when you go to the gym. You are never obligated to get dressed up just so you are pretty for others."

Which then continues with: Pretty is not the rent you pay to exist in the world as a woman. and I say Fucking A.

The thing with this is if a man had a thin pubic hair moustache like that no one would like it either. So it's not even a gendered expectation, thin stringy facial hair just looks bad on everyone.

I’ve never seen it. What the hell are you watching you weirdo?

Go sell a goddam TV!
