An advert has started apearing in the UK where olympic champion Vixtoria Pendleton has the memorable line. 'I wear lycra for a living'. While this raised a cheer at 'Legwearuk Towers' not everyone on the internet is so happy. a website concerned with 'Contemporary UK Feminism' is not happy. comments such as " Sad that such a talented woman is happy to be reduced to how good her bum looks in lycra" and
"Funny, could have sworn she was a world-class athlete, but it’s always good to be reminded that no matter how strong, capable, muscled and beautiful your body, you always need to be careful to ensure that it looks nice on display in tight clothing."
Oh well and there we were enjoing the advert.
What is the world coming too - its an advert for bread and the bit about wearing lycra is clearly a funny line at the end and nothing at all to do looking good or sexy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgJdu3q7xqc&feature=pyv&ad=7729852301&kw=hovis
ReplyDeleteShe does looks very nice though, cycling's a great way to keep in shape and Lycra's the best performing fabric for the sport.
