ATTACK OF THE PREPPIES!!!!
It’s really intense, the preppiness.
LOL at the preppiness!
I must say that I like the song, it brought a smile to my face
clearly polo is a dangerous sport…..no I’m not referring to the cast Mr. Green Shirt has….I’m referring to the alarming pastel pants and collars all turned up….. well, at least there was eye candy
Yep.
Did nothing for me, except make me think of horsey women standing round watching Prince Charles dash around on one of his expensive polo ponies. Do Young People Today really aspire to that kind of thing?
You have to wonder. Might be geared older than I had thought…
Ummm…. is this a Gossip Girl thing? Seriously, do they expect people to relate to this? I’m just trying to picture the target audience and …. I got nothing.
now that you mention it —it does sort of look like that type of 20-something over-drama, look at me I wanna be rich , nighttime soap opera show….ick. so not interested.
Wow, this is special. Are there any not extremely (according to which culture?) good looking people that exist in this completely exclusive world? Guess not. I wonder how these privileged youngsters are going to be faring well into their forties and fifties… hope they can keep up this lifestyle. I dislike how Polo ENLARGED the pony logo, as if it wasn’t noticeable enough… oh, and on a positive note: YES total eye candy!
That was like a whole flock of Steff’s from “Pretty in Pink.” It was also like watching footage of something happening in an alternate dimension where there’s something just slightly off from life as we know it.
Yesssss! Now if this were a commercial full of rockabilly Duckies, I’d be much more interested. I guess they’d be the ones crashing the party.
Very, very good looking people. Actually I don’t think I’ve seen so many male and female models together in one place. There is something really eerie about it. And could they have tried to act a little harder? It looked more like they were all fighting for camera angles rather than a frolicking outing at a pony club.
Exactly Ms. Kitty – it was like – “Okay, look at all the pretty privilaged people. And the point is…?” Nothing relatable about it. Not even aspirational [is that a correct word? Probably not].
And, umm, no Palin jokes about my made up word please – okay NST peeps? LOL
Aspirational: 3 a : a strong desire to achieve something high or great b : an object of such desire.
So we can’t make fun of you. Sorry to disappoint.
Smelled these at Macy’s the other day. Ughhhhhhhh! These smell like old men stuff! I couldn’t believe it. The notes sounded so promising
These are basically the people I aspire to *not* be like, in a nutshell. But hey, at least #4 was cute.
All the eye candy in the world couldn’t make that ad appealing. “Big Pony Collection”? I think I just threw up in my mouth.
Y’know what that ad needs? Zombies. Hungry hungry zombies.
LOL! Now that would have livened things up a bit – pun intended, ba-dum-dum.
Wow, this was really fun to watch.
Wagering a guess: Is RL’s target audience, wealthy white ivy leagers or what? I mean, if your Dad went to Harvard and your Mum went to Yale and you followed in their footsteps by being on the Polo team and did a lot of rowing on the Charles…well…these are YOUR kinda peeps.
Actually, I’m not here to poke fun at this ad. I think they definitely get who their consumer demographic is and went for it bigtime!
But I LOVE RL Lauren (original) Tuxedo and Safari and none of these speak to this sort of upper crust wealth to me. Oh well.
I don’t know – I have a hard time believing that people who actually live that lifestyle would wear Polo, but I could be wrong.
All it made me want to do is look up Monty Python’s “Upperclass Twit of the Year” sketch.
I liked the dog! He’s what made me watch the ad.
The dog was awesome – no doubt about that.
Those people look like nobody in my social circle. But isn’t scent all about fantasy anyway? My mom groups and book clubs aren’t perfume ads, is all I’m saying.
Oh my (fanning myself) I’m not fond of people who are like those characters in real life, but I certainly enjoyed looking at that.
I just wonder who on earth would want to say ‘I smell of Big Pony!’
Hilarious. Almost as funny a name as ‘wee’ (Oui de Lancome).
