La-Z-Boy Ad Attacks Brooke Shields

lazboy2.jpg

One really can’t write an item about Brooke Shields doing La-Z-Boy ads without referencing her spectacular advertising debut 32 years ago (yes, 32) for Calvin Klein when, at 15, she coyly uttered the famous line, “You wanna know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.”

Now, at 47 and still looking quite the hottie, Brooke can be seen in a pair of new La-Z-Boy commercials. In one she is tormented by a neighbor who just can’t get over the fact she got her furniture at La-Z-Boy. In another, Brooke makes note of the fact it’s La-Z-Boy’s 85 anniversary and that the brand knows it doesn’t need an ad that screams, Sale!”

Or does it?
