(updated below)
I like The Office and love 30 Rock, but they are in rerun like everything else this time of year, so I did not pay a lot of attention to the television last night. Instead, I perused the newest addition (Volume 7) of the Complete Chester Gould's Dick Tracy series, which arrived at my home yesterday.
Almost every volume of the series contains a crossdressing bit and Volume 7 did not disappoint with a series of panels showing two hoods disguised in early 1940's drag. All the crossdressing in Dick Tracy makes me wonder: (1) is crossdressing a common disguise used by hoods or (2) did Chester Gould have a special interest in crossdressing?
Anyway, I was half-watching the television while The Office and 30 Rock were on and not watching much at all during commercials. But my T-Dar (trans-radar) is always on and it caused me to look up and catch half of a commercial.
The commercial showed a race car at a pit stop. The driver was a woman in race car drag. The pit crew were men wearing cropped tops, mini-skirts, and black high heel pumps. Their legs were shaved and their bodies looked hairless, too.
I think they were advertising a mobile phone, but I am not sure because I was so surprised with what I was seeing that I did not pay attention to what was being said.
Has anyone else seen this commercial? If so, please pass along the details that I missed.
UPDATE: Elaine identified the advertisement as a Boost Mobile commercial with Indy 500 driver Danica Patrick and I found the commercial online here.
Sounds like the Boost Mobile commercial that saw heavy play during the Indy 500 [didn't you watch every minute :) ]. They sponsor Danica Patrick.
ReplyDeleteElaine --- Thank you; that was the commercial I saw last night!
ReplyDeleteStaci, I have never seen that commercial. I have not even heard of Boost Mobile in this area. I would love to see that aired at my local "watering hole"! Tonya
ReplyDeleteTonya --- I never heard of Boost either.
