I tend to agree- they don't exactly look ... happy to be there.

Well, using attractive and sexy people to sell something is a somewhat popular technique!

However, in this instance, I don't think these ladies DO look very sexy, it all looks a bit .... static.

I remember when I first visited France and was delighted to see images of topless ladies, selling... drills.

But for it to work the photographer needs models who are able to "get it right" with the poses. In this example, a magazine cover- caution slight topless nudity does that "work" or does it just look tacky?

Sex Sells! Always has and always will. But with the current Politically Correct brigade it is not acceptable these days.

Agreed, sex can and does sell certain services or products,....but fireworks?,..........to me a classier/pretty looking fully clothed girl wearing PPE gear would look more tasteful (and sexier if you like).

Perhaps, although most of the marketing of fireworks just shows images of the firework's packaging (that is to say, pictures of the fireworks themselves.)

It would be interesting to see if someone does try a new approach.
