But the ASA ruled the model was “unhealthily underweight”, after receiving 22 complaints that the ad was irresponsible, due to her appearance.

Nasty Gal has defended the use of the model, claiming she is a UK size 8 with a Body Mass Index (BMI) well within the healthy range for an adult woman.

The brand stated the model weighed 9st 8lbs and was 5ft 10ins tall, giving her a BMI of 18.8, within the NHS’ healthy guidelines.

The feminist commentary is both hilarious and cringeworth.

I can't link to the pictures of the model but my ex was and inch shorter and two pounds lighter: not quite a model but could have been. Her body was great and healthy. Apparently, nobody knows what healthy looks like anymore.

We live in a culture of no fertility today. Anything healthy, virile and with natural polarity is attacked.

The way society is going makes me realize how many people on earth are truly degenerate sheep. That if you don't have a strong culture enforced, they will self destruct.

People who are pro civilization are the top 10-20% smartest people.

I found a youtube copy. Watch it before it's taken down. I'll post a higher quality one if it surfaces.

This thread should remain perfectly balanced. To counter the "BBW" pic above, here's some pics of a woman with a similar size as the models from the commercial.

_______________________________________________

As for the fashion company "Nasty Gal", they're spouting some of those NPC talking points, so remember to account for that. They are one of the many start-up fashion businesses that have formed in the past decade.

There's something about this company that I remembered. A little searching led to the five posts about the founder of "Nasty Gal", Sophia Amoruso, in the "Forum Lounge - Everything Goes" thread, and one post from the "Netflix Joins MTV In Lecturing White People in: Dear White People (Time to boycott!)" thread. She is the same one that spearheaded the axed Netflix show "Girlboss".

I've watched the first four episodes of Dear White People.

There is nothing good about it.

The basic idea is that a bangable black girl has a radio show at a fictional ivy league college. The radio show is girl power and black power oriented. She is a prominent member of the black student union but unfortunately she fucks a white guy. Then there's some other gay shit going on with some small black kid and his roommate.

Nobody likes girl power more than me. My problem with this show, much like my problem with Girls on HBO, is that you don't have to show the girls being sluts to show off this girl power. Just be good at whatever it is you want the girls doing, leave the whoreness out. The girls in Girls weren't powerful at anything except getting fucked.

Now, Girlboss on Netflix does a better job b of this, but its bad humor. Girlboss is some gal in San Francisco that lives next door to Ru Paul not in drag. She starts some type of eBay company selling clothes, and is very pro-girl power. She has one dude she bangs through out all the episodes, and even then its not the whole show. In the last one though she catches the guy getting blown behind some drums. It made me happy though because Girlboss wasn't sucking the dick.

Aloha!

I don't know - I do hope that they follow up the full story that happened in real life.

There are a ton of women who sell shit online and occasionally it works out. She came on the scene early on and went with the trend. Of course it has this obnoxious bitchy aggro-bitch - the real person is of course way more balanced and reasonable:






I have a female cousin who is like that and those women do exist.

But of course the business collapsed for various reasons:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/real-gir...a-amoruso/

Quote:Quote:

Girlboss is based on the life of the Nasty Gal entrepreneur Sophie Amoruso, who turned an everyday eBay shop into a thriving lifestyle industry with nearly $300 million in sales.

If Sophie’s story was fictional, that’s probably where it’d end. But Amoruso’s internet-shaking clothing enterprise rapidly fell apart, its feminist credentials undermined by a series of lawsuits, and its increasing overhead resulting in the humiliation of a recent bankruptcy filing.

So feminism it seems started not to be as fashionable as it seemed.

Quote:Quote:

There’s Sophia Amoruso, for example, who founded online fashion retailer Nasty Gal in 2006 when she was just 22. For a while the fast-growing company was the darling of the startup world and Amoruso was feted as a feminist icon. Like all modern feminists, Amoruso wrote a memoir slash self-help book (#Girlboss) and started a #Girlboss foundation, which provides grant funding to up-and-coming female entrepreneurs.

In 2015, however, Nasty Gal was sued for allegedly “firing four pregnant women, as well as one man about to take paternity leave”. (These suits have been settled out of court.) Nasty Gal has now filed for bankruptcy.

Quote:Quote:

But lazily plopping vague feminist platitudes into the Girlboss script creates a maddening cognitive dissonance on the show. In the previous eight episodes, Sophia has intentionally riled up her fellow vintage eBay sellers, stuck a half-eaten burrito into the mouth of a homeless and/or mentally ill woman to shut her up, brazenly shoplifted, jeopardized her eBay rating for a night of partying, and obnoxiously referred to underwear as “under trunks.” Aside from maybe working constantly, she embodies none of the vaguely feminist leadership qualities she attributes to women. Above all else, she is a grating presence wherever she goes.

In addition feminists don't even like that stuff, but I guess it appeals to moronic women who have no idea how businesses are being created and what goes into it.

https://theringer.com/the-problem-with-g...f48bb6aa16

But I think that the show ends with her successful part, because bankruptcy came after the show has started filming.

Oh now you guys are hating on Girlboss. I watched the whole show. All the episodes. I love Girlboss.

And that black guy is Ru Paul dressed normal.

Girlboss lives in California and buys and sells clothes on the internet.

Girlboss is not a slut. Most girlpower shows the girls have to be sluts to show a part of their girl power. Two Broke Girls and Girls off the top of my head. And I've only seen Two Broke Girls a few times.

Girlboss, however, just sets up her business. That's her goal in life. She does have a boyfriend but some other girl blows him and Girlboss gets the blues.

Aloha!

The actual founder of Nasty Gal sounds like one of those entrepreneur women, she was actually quite alternative, working a lot, had a boyfriend who lived in a treehouse. Her biz worked.

But somewhere along the line she got the hubris and feminist virus, of hiring mainly women and believing this empowerment bullshit. She hired a CEO who ran her business to the ground pronto and she was then already more concerned with campaigns like #banbossy and getting girls in business. She should have been more concerned about her main business instead of projecting an image of success and female power!

It matters nothing if she was a slut or not. Madonna was a major slut, but she is also a smart artist, a hard worker and businesswoman.

Girlboss needs less moxy, less feminism, less empowerment, but more simple conventional business acumen. Her business went the way feminism will go - filing for Chapter 11.

Not sure if already mentioned, yet some amusing news :

Netflix cancels Girlboss show after one season

NNetflix's slashing of its original content continues with another show biting the dust after just one season.
Girlboss, based on a New York Times best-selling book of the same name, has been axed and joins recently binned action series Sense8, written by the Wachowski sisters, and Baz Luhrman's hip-hop drama The Get Down.

http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-a...625-gwyanx

Variety :

The show failed to resonate with critics upon its debut, with Variety‘s Sonia Saraiya writing:
“‘Girlboss’ so strangely renders its goals that it appears to be stuck in its own striving, making for an oddly perfunctory journey. Much like Sophia Amoruso in 2006, ‘Girlboss’ does not seem to know what it wants to be when it grows up. And while the potential is thrilling, it’s messy, too.”
This is the latest in a series of cancellations for Netflix in the past few weeks. The streaming giant also recently canceled the Baz Luhrman hip-hop drama “The Get Down” after one season in May, while the Wachowski sisters’ action series “Sense8″ was canceled after two seasons in early June.
Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos discussed the cancellation of latter two shows at the annual Produced By conference, saying, “Relative to what you spent, are people watching it? That is pretty traditional,” Sarandos said. “When I say that, a big expensive show for a huge audience is great. A big, expensive show for a tiny audience is hard even in our model to make that work very long.”

http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/girlboss...202477802/


Heh.
Who would have thought a TV show about a bratty, bitchy, bint, would not resonate with a wide audience...

It looks like "Nasty Gal" is still around in the fashion scene. Now, what's the over/under on its next bankruptcy? I think 2.5 years sounds like a good period of time.

The ads are under attack by a pincer movement of both feminists as well as Islamists. Both restrict the ability to show healthy young hot women on their ads.

The argument seems to be that being able to see a ribcage = anorexic.

Well, at least the article also mentions that the recent use of obese models has also come under fire for "promoting unhealthy body standards". Although it seems like the censors didn't see fit to take action in those cases.

I think she is a bit too thin - she looks slightly unhealthy - she would look better if she weighted some 5kg more. 15 kg more at best if it is balanced lean muscle and fat at right places. Obviously not 50 kg more like feminists would want her.

Probably WB her as she is still. However I would not choose such a sickly looking woman as mother of my children.

There was a thread on this forum that abnormally thin models are often trannies or YXX chromosome individuals, because it is impossible for most women to have no natural under-skin fat that makes them look feminine and still remain healthy. So one would have to cautious with that.

Honestly, this might be the best advertising strategy for brands that don't cater to fatties. The process is simple and surprisingly cheap.

1. Create ads that get banned because they don't depict whales as sexy. Make it a limited ad buy, but somewhere will SJW's will notice

2. Ad gets banned because of feminist anger

3. News stories run the 'controversy' thus exposing the product to many more people who would have seen the ad

4. Normal chicks (or whatever the target audience is) associate the product with not being obese and want it

5. Profit

This was a major part of the media strategy for the 2016 Trump campaign, where Trump would use the media's obsessive coverage of his 'gaffes' to overcome well-funded but bland opponents who could buy more ads.

I guess that the nickname of "Twiggy" works for her then.

When the vast majority of people are fat, people's perceptions get completely distorted.

Obese is now called "chubby" or "curvy."
Chubby is now called "normal" or "average."
Fit and healthy is now called "skinny."
Skinny is now called "anorexic" and "dangerous."
Actually anorexic and dangerously underweight, most people have never even seen.

It's funny that she plays tennis in the ad... since she pretty much has the prototypical Tennis physique! In my book she's absolutely fine & not too thin. People just freaked out due to her ribcage showing! However, I think she dehydrated herself a tad too much for the shoot. There's no need for her since she's pretty much in shape 24/7.
