Out of a conversation last night, I’m blogging about a favourite thing or something again and this time it is on the subject of ‘Billboards’ and which one was a favourite. In full sleazy mode, I thought about it and made a decision in moments.
The conversation was sparked off by the recent ‘Are you Beach Body Ready’ campaign that appeared around the London’s underground. The billboard was heavily criticised with social media platforms going overboard with negativity. Has for me it was always, going to be between two campaigns, and like the ‘Are you ready one they are the kind to cause protests.
I can’t split the two as one harps back to my teens the other a tad more recent but they did capture my imagination, the pervy side anyway.
The Wonder Bra ad ‘Hello Boys’ sparked a sensation when it was unveiled in 1994 and was blamed for stopping traffic and causing accidents as commuters stared at the huge roadside posters. The Czech model Eva Herzigova was propelled to stardom around the world, making her a household name.
The advert also won a public vote as the favourite 'iconic' advertising image.
The ‘Join the Lamb’s Navy’ billboard campaign was memorable for the lovely Caroline Munro high on my all-time favourite list. These series of ads really made her famous and lead to some great opportunities. This brought her to the attention of Hammer Films, and a series of appearances in their horror movies.
She earned bigger roles in ‘The Golden Voyage of Sinbad’ and ‘At the Earth’s Core’ she also earned a “Bond Girl” status in ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ playing Naomi, a psychotic helicopter pilot and bikini-clad henchwoman.
