I've spent too much time, ai much more time than I'd ever desire, pouring over magazines and the internet in search of advertisements. And it occurs to me that they are all largely the same in nature.
I see no difference between these images or the messages they are trying to send. Am I to look at the woman portrayed, the jewelry or the clothing she wears?
I am hardly inclined to purchase any of it. Is it to entice women to buy?
added And the wares they are 'selling' are not beautiful in any regard. I could produce much finer things and I am but one handed and rather unskilled with a forge. Though my father produces many beautiful things with great care and skill.
