AVFCLaura Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 So I've seen a lot in the press recently about the Harvey Nichols advert and it made me think about all the potential connotations, assumptions, messages and actually all you lot and your experiences of this situation. Have you done the walk of shame? Any good stories? What do you think of the advert? Offensive, funny or pointless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Brilliant. I had to do the walk of shame a couple of weeks ago. Bumped into my neighbour walking with her kids. She asked what I was doing, to which I replied "Walking the dog". I have no dog. We shared a chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b6bloke Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Not the greatest of ads though liked this comment Moral of the story: as long as you're a model with someone to do your hair and makeup before you leave, there's no such thing as a walk of shame. Nice work, Harvey Nic's Prefere this advert On a walk of shame story, not realy apart from having to sneak out the window of some girls on the Wood, I set her alarms off as she locked me in when we went to bed. Walk of fame was the best, I saw this girl who would for some reason only shag to Neil Diamond, she was a real screamer and I mean all the way through sex! I always walked out of that house in six million dollar man slow motion and when I saw a neighbour I would just smile as if to say "yes it was me that did that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2011 Well my time went so quickly, I went lickety-split-ly, out to my old '55 As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive. Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck Freeway, cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer, Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger. And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning; I had to be on my way. Well there's trucks all a-passing me, and their lights are all flashing me, I'm on my way home from your place.

AVFCLaura Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 portraying girls as slutty and drunks , not the cleverest marketing campaign I've ever seen tbh I thought so too. As long as you are wearing a Harvey Nics dress you will look like a fabulous slutty drunk. Wait, what...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you are wearing a Harvey Nics dress you will look like a fabulous slutty drunk. Wait, what...?! My take on it too. it's kind of saying, wear Harvey Nic's anmd you'll pull and get laid. Surely the wrong target audience for HN's? For blokes it's kind of different, as surely it's only a walk of shame if you got blindingly drunk and slept with a real munter .... otherwise it's surely a walk of fame! :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 All of the models that were not in Harvey Nic's clothes were also too fat for their dresses. The makers of that campaign should be ashamed of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the experience rather sobering at uni, in the harsh light of the thur/fri/sat/sun morn, going into her living room/kitchen in halls and encountering the flat mates I hadn't met before...but obviously they knew why I was there...also, I'm a blusher :oops: So I would attempt a casual 'morning!' and maybe just receive a stare in reply, I would go the colour of a...well, a very red thing :oops: ha. Actually that particular scenario only happened once, was much better getting a big long snog at her door when saying goodbye, and saying we'd talk later, I'd feel quite 8) then and not :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
