Billboards

Every morning when I go to work I had to travel down the freeway to get to where my work is and every morning I'm greeted by beautiful women high up there on the billboards.

Megan Gale is the first to greet me. She's the face of upmarket department store David Jones and every year I'll see her on the billboards. Megan was born in Perth and became a supermodel in 1994.

A few metres further along Megan is there to greet me again. Megan's shot to fame came in 1999 when she became famous in Italy after appearing in a number of commercials. Now everyone knows her.

Further down the freeway I see this woman with nothing on but just the word invisible written on it. For 2 weeks I stared at that billboard and wondered what they're trying to sell. I know sex sells but sells what?

Until this morning when the picture on the billboard changed to reveal the woman wearing a Bendon bra! Good advertising, kept me guessing for 2 weeks before revealing the name of the product. But I think I like the previous picture better, leave a bit to the imagination!

I remember when Megan Gale was small-time and only appeared in junk mail catalogues for stores like Big W & K-Mart. Her husband in Italy is a lucky bloke :D

if by some miracle it was approved by M'sia's censorship board, and the posters appear in M'sia, sure kena curi by perverts in the middle of the night. Hahaha. Either that, or kena de-faced by holier-than-thou "moral police".

Good thing that last girl found a bra to put on. I wonder where the rest of her clothes are! :-)

The newspapers here in Perth love to mention Meagan whenever she does anything.

I'm waiting for the day where they talk about her flossing her teeth.
[Of course, they do the same with Rove and all other Perth related people].

Alex Allied said...

C4STP: the day we see posters lidat in malaysia is the day i become prime minister!

Dabido said...

Wuching - Yes, Rove is from Perth. He goes for Fremantle as his cousin plays for the Dockers.
