Quote for the Day:

Later, the Marciano brothers would set aside the Fatal Attraction ads – not because they were too demeaning or violent to women or to hostile to feminist "blandness," but because they were too sexually graphic for mainstream presentation. Portraits of humiliated or battered young women passed muster with the Marciano censors, but depictions of adultery might disturb the sanctity of the family. Instead, that season, Guess substituted an ad campaign with cowgirls sucking on their fingers. They gazed into the camera with startled and vulnerable doe eyes, Bambis before the hunters. It was the same message, really, as Maser's Fatal Attraction campaign, just more discreetly delivered – and ultimately more effective. In the '80s, fashion advertising often seemed to be one big woman-hunt. And by successfully camouflaging male anger, the Marciano brothers discovered, they could fire their best shots.
