Cornrows Inspire Hostility & Boost Sales

I don't know about you, but something about this serial killer style advertising doesn't appeal to me. I think a hair braiding service is being promoted? But, one can't be too sure. It could be a decapitation service.
I like cornrows as much as the next person. Especially after seeing Bo Derek parade around in them in "10" when I was the tender age of 10, and wishing that I could don a bathing suit, have my mom braid my hair and instantly be transformed into Bo replete with all her oozy sex appeal.
Except for after trying it, I soon realized that in my awkward pre-pubescent state, I was missing a crucial 10-12 inches of strategically placed bod to pull off this look. Not to mention the fact that I bore absolutely no physical resemblance to Miss Derek. Woe was me. At least I got some good hot mess, disco frizz hair mileage out of the deal, which helped score me some enviable skating rink style points.
And while I like cornrows, I find that I like them even more when they are worn on a head with a body attached, versus a head that has been shoved onto a pole, shiskabob style.
It appears that this bevvy of beaded, braided, beheaded beauties are mounted along what looks to be the shores of a secluded island. Poor girls. One minute they were running around slowmo in their super sexy, high-cut, leggy one pieces, flirting with short English men in unflattering gray sweatsuits, preparing to roll some doobies later than evening just before settling down and making love to the sweet sounds of Ravel's Bolero.
The next thing you know they were being staked into the sand, Lord of The Flies fashion. "The heads are for the beast! They are a gift!"
While totally gory and gruesome, apparently this was a highly successful small business advertising campaign. I hear it already won a Clio in Barbados and is up for an Addy. Good luck girls! I hope you come out a-head of the competition.









All your decapitation talk triggered a whole new batch of google ads. I hope you're happy now.

It is a little unnerving to see those heads on sticks stuck into the ground! HA! Fun post! Thank you for visiting my blog today.
