It's a TV advert, consequently, it gets the lowest recognition from me. I think the overall style of it is quite clever as anyone marking their 25th Anniversary is going to look back at their start. Whether that is good or bad cannot be judged until after the commercial has hit the screens.

If I was not a customer of VS, would this make me want to travel with them? I doubt it.

I actually like the advert but wonder why they didnt dress the "crew" in the original uniform as worn in 1984, maybe it wasnt sexy enough !

As for the BCal adverts, they look dated but are still some of the best..brilliant

Speaking of which, has anyone seen the latest Qantas ad for the A380, claiming they're the world's most experienced airline?

Can't they (or more accurately their overpaid advertising agency), think of something just a little more original? (For those of a younger disposition it was the strapline used by PanAm).

How long before someone comes up with 'We never forget you have a choice'
as though its original?
