From Russia with Love?


It really is a bit chilly in West Kensington at this time of year, even allowing for global warming, so I was thinking that ex-“Celebrity Big Brother” contestant Danielle Lloyd was just a teeny weenie bit ill-advised to go out on a photo shoot wearing nothing save a skimpy bikini, despite its fetching shade of yellow matching that of her oversized prop! But then, as everyone knows, this particular model isn’t renowned for the size of her brain!! Quite why she would promote the launch of some ski company, so inappropriately dressed, is beyond me? Wouldn’t you dress up warmly to go skiing, to ward off the possibility of catching a slight chill?! And, what’s a weapon of mass destruction got to do with taking a vacation?!!


In some shots the “lovely” Danielle is wearing an ushanka (Russian fur cap with ear flaps) like a spy in a cold war “Bond” movie, or my old choirmaster! And, in others, the wee lassie sports a pair of moon boots which put me in mind of Jon Pertwee’s autobiography “Moon Boots and Dinner Suits”. There are even pictures in which she is wearing both and thus seems, all things considered, a little overdressed! If Miss Lloyd wrote her autobiography, no doubt with the help of a ghostwriter, maybe she could call it “Moon Boots and Birthday Suits”! It’s all a little bizarre, though, in that it’s not entirely clear what this company is trying to say through their advertising campaign. Something along the lines of… Come on a skiing holiday with us and you’ll meet a totally gorgeous babe wearing next to nothing, out in the snow, but beware of the tanks because, like The Stranglers’ song says, they can maim?

My eyesight must be failing. It took me five minutes to realize there was a tank in the background of the picture!

Yellow is a very bright colour! I hope you're not going blind, Steve!!

Cor blimey, what a stunner!! Phwwwwwooooaaaarrr!!

'ere, I'm coming over all straight!!

She's quite a nice looking lady but yes, I'm sure she's freezing her (miniscule) pants off! Funny you should mention Jon Pertwee, as I can just see Ms Lloyd doing a "Katy Manning" with a Dalek actually! (Do you know what I mean?) In fact about how about Danielle as the next companion, after all the Dr's had a few cockneys and Londoners, he needs a Scouser in the TARDIS now doesn't he?? Of course I am DEADLY serious.

(Personally I'd rather see Preston in front of a tank in his smalls, but that's by the by...)

TimeWarden said...

Preston as Turlough? No wonder it was called "Planet of Fire"! I guess it was "Kinda" hot!!

I do, indeed, know what you mean about our Katy and that lucky Dalek! What she can do with a sink plunger is nobody's business!!

Did you know that Danielle studied posture at the Bootle Institute of Metaphysics or was it pop stars at The Beatles' Academy of Pop Music? I can never remember! ;)

I think maybe you put too much attention into decoding the messages there! ;-)

All advertising, in today's media saturated world, is trying to say LOOK AT THIS isn't it?

A bonny girl in her undies in front of a large yellow tank ain't exactly subtle but it does the job for me!

Old Cheeser said...

I trust you are telling porkie pies about Danielle's place of study?

Anyway, you've been TAGGED...see my blog for more info...

TimeWarden said...

I was being sarcastic, Doppelgänger! Sadly, I'm only too aware of the intent of advertising!!

Regarding Danielle's place of study, Simon, I was telling the God's-honest truth!!!
