Wonderbra Campaign Reverses Perspective of Wearing Push Up Bra

Now here’s a different approach to bra advertising. Rather than show a hot model with miles of cleavage bursting forth, change the perspective and show the reaction of the people when presented with what a bra can do for a woman…and to the people around her. That’s exactly what Wonderbra has done in this campaign that illustrates what it is like to be a woman wearing a Wonderbra. Or, for that matter, what it must be like to a sexy woman wearing just about anything. It’s almost creepy.

Oddly, the campaign, without intending to do so, illustrates to those of us who can’t keep our eyes off an attractive woman that being stared at just might not be all it’s cracked up to be. Men, take note. On the other hand, women, if you’re going to hoist your boobs up and out for all to see, expect to get what you see in these ads and don’t complain about it.
