Golden ticket?
The image we discussed today in class had me wondering what else Tom Ford had to offer. Was the perfume in front of the vagina an isolated incident or no?
The answer is no.
What could he possibly be selling in this advertisement? Suites? The main focus of this ad is clearly the couple having sex on a park bench, not the nicely dressed man in the foreground or the man presumably enjoying a smoke and a free show.
Since he IS a gay icon, I wondered if he portrayed men in the same way --by explicitly sexually objectifying them. Again. Nope.
I still gave him the benefit of the doubt until I saw this overtly sexist ad:
A man reads his paper while ignoring the naked woman ironing his pants. The woman is both servicing his domestic needs and his sexual desires (whether he wants her or not.)
