Seeing a commercial for Snow
White and the Huntsman, starring
Charlize Theron, reminded me of the recent J’adore by Dior perfume commercial,
also starring Theron. She plays a model running late for a fashion show, and as
she hands her purse and dark shades to an assistant, she double-kisses a
fellow model, yet this is no ordinary model. This greeting bridges the past
with the present, or is it the present with the past, as some of the other
models featured in the ad are, shall we say, quite familiar. And instead of
running a piece of classical music or an old Parisian standard over the ad, why
not play Gossip’s rock-tastic Heavy Cross? Seeing Theron quickly slink down the runway, while lead singer Beth
Ditto hits the chorus make for an exciting finale. Just as quickly as Theron
frantically races in to the show, she slowly glides into the light. Brilliant—in
every sense of the word. BSo
Beth Ditto and Gossip – Heavy
Cross Live
