Mind over Matter

Liquor advertisements in the 1980s tried to embrace feminism, but they didn’t want to abandon sexiness entirely. In case you miss the point in this image for Johnnie Walker, the tagline spells it out: “Good taste is always an asset.” Get it? Carey Lowell, the asset on the left, says, “It was meant to be clever and enlightened. And now it feels clearly like they were just showing our asses.” I remember passing a bus shelter where the ad was posted with the word “Mind” written in marker over each bum. We get it. —*Linda Wells*
