Margot Robbies advert for Calvin Klein perfume is the perfect example of reality and the imagined world of the fragrance commercial. When Margot Robbie wakes up on the sofa with a hangover in a perfume commercial it looks very different to when you wake up on the sofa with a hangover .
Take a look at the video:
There is a lot of purple and pink going on, it is like someone watched The Neon Demon, thought ‘I like the look of that, I’ll go with that, but without the all the blood.’
Or maybe somebody really loves Jem & The Holograms.
I think the theme of the story going on in the ad is that Margot went to a party, got a bit drunk and fell asleep on the sofa, but rather than someone drawing stuff on her face (like what would happen to you) she just has a few dreams that are a bit weird. Like thinking she and her perfume bottle are Avatars in Pandora.
Or that she has transformed into a My Little Pony (Dazzle Sparkle to be exact).
Or thinking that any minute now Alice from Resident Evil will turn up, to sort out all the party-going zombies.
But then Margot wakes up and wonders why she is surrounded by a Right Said Fred tribute band (the only reason for gold leather trousers).
How to look sexy and think at the same time.
Seriously thinking about why there are so many pairs of metallic leather trousers at one party.
But back to the party – Margot is voguing down the corridor in her business sassy suit.
And then suddenly the corridor turns into a corridor party, but a perfume commerical corridor party and not a real one where people sit on the floor, eat pizza and drink tequila straight from the bottle.
Anyway, she is at this corridor party, when suddenly she realises, there sure are a lot of guys here… everyone at this corridor party is gay.
But when all your mates are gay, just go with it.
