"Say Good Bye To Mr. Bush"
Your Mr. Bush that is. This ad for Townhouse Spa and Beauty Bar, showcasing their 40% off a bikini or Brazilian wax is the best inaugural promo advert email newsletter we've seen yet. Townhouse Spa, on 56th street in NYC, a "classy" place, accurately identified a Bush issue that maybe Republican and Democrat women can all agree upon. In fact, as Chris said, this may be the first good thing that Bush has done for women in 8 years.
And in a down economy, creative risqué non-partisan advertising is the way to go. Why appeal to only one group, when you can reach all kinds of women? And why stick to boring, stale advertising, when you can link politics with personal grooming? Yes, "Good bye Mr. Bush. Hello Mr. Obama."

With all of the secrecy of the Bush administration, they should have called it Area 51.

Brilliant? I think its tacky and sexist using a this slang word in an ad. The thing is as an aesthethician myself I make an effort using correct terms for body parts. People are uncomfortable and awkward as it is to get a bikini or brazilian wax, especially for the first time. We don't need to be using slang terms in a professional setting.

Lucinda, You are a little bit precious honey. Chill out. (I think the girls are uncomfortable because they are about to have their Obama's plucked like a chicken whilst they scream every folicle clear)

Yes Lucinda is correct. Lets use a pre-heated mixture of natural beeswax and tall oil to apply directly to the vaginal area near the vulva removing the coarse pubic hair from that reagion. All for a discount of 20%. That's much funnier and will sell more services, your phone will be ringing off the hook.

I think it's great. Lighthearted and funny, what we need in these troubling times. I'd get a wax there if I lived close. If people are uncomfortable about hearing it called a bush, they need to get a life.

Well I do own an ad agency and I only wish I would have thought of something this good. I'd like to know how many people are viewing this website because of this brilliant ad; I bet it is getting hundreds of thousands of viewers!

Can men have their bushes removed as well at this service establishment? Or, is brazilian and bikini waxing exclusively offered for women? Many men probably will be glad when their bush is removed as well.

Hillbilly Darrell, guys can have their bits done too. Its sometimes called a "man-zilian", but I don't think every waxing salon will do it? Not sure.

Not only did the ad make me laugh, but the comments as well. Not sure that the intent was to equate Obama with "pussy", though. I think they were aiming for "get nice and clean-shaven for the big event on the 20th". Although, that too, in a sense, is a bit disturbing. Can you imagine hoards of women getting a brazilian to be ready for a presidential inauguration? Does Obama turn that many women on? LOL

i think bush just gave bikinis a bad connotation for the past 8 years, so hopefully we can get over that connection, because obama is in no way a bikini. shobha, nyc's hair removal expert, actually sent out a press release about being bush-free on super tuesday that everyone else in the waxing world has seemed to have copied. they are offering 2-for-1 bikinis and they don't double dip, which is a common dirty practice many other salons do.
