Last night, I received a Macy's flyer in the mail. Not just any ordinary Macy's flyer but one that highlighted 150 years of Macy's. And instead of sending their usual 20-or so pages of things that will be on sale this weekend for their birthday, their marketing (probably unbeknownst to them) gave a birthday gift to their consumers....in the form of the Calvin Klein insert.
You might recall that the face of Calvin Klein, at Macy's, is none other than Gabriel Aubrey. You know - the one in the commercials that has Martha Stewart dropping her china and Mariah Carey pausing in her stint as her own perfume girl... The man is a fox! And in the insert, he had a nice CK layout of suits, casual wear, sports wear, etc. But I could care less about those - the BEST part of the flyer was the underwear section. It was a collage of 1.5" x 1.5" pics of Gabe in CK underwear - tightie whites, boxer briefs, and undershirts. Sure there were also female pics mixed into the collage to show off CK lingerie but I have CK lingerie - so let's get back to Gabriel.
Granted, the collage wasn't as provocative as the David Beckham Emporio Armani ads or even the ads of Marky Mark dropping trou in the 90s. But a little pic can go a long way. I CAN use my imagination.
So thank you, Macy's and Gabriel Aubrey, for showing me a little of what Halle Berry gets to see on a daily basis...dammit! So jealous!
