I can’t decide on whether this ad is trying to sale jeans or Eva Mendez. Calvin Klein’s “sexy Jean ads” are very popular in the media all over the world. This ad shows women, in order to be sexy they have to be thin and half naked. This ad is supposed to be advertising jeans to women, but the half naked Eva Mendez looks like their trying to sale them to men. Where does your eye go when u see this ad, on the jeans or her half naked body, hum.. The media is spending so much money on half naked ads and trying to get their point across, but their point gets lost in translation amongst all of the oil and nakedness.

Readings: I agree with what Bell Hooks said in chapters 5 and 6. I think having control over our own bodies is very important. She mentioned that improving the sex education in schools would dramatically reduce the number of unwanted pregnancy. She then talks about body image she says, "I often wonder if women will every stop judging themselves on how they look. I hope one day we will. We are all self conscious of how we look, who ever said that women are supposed to be perfect. Learning to love our body and feeling comfortable in our own skin is very important in gaining confidence and boosting self esteem.
