*before* hearing about the Sydney Sweeney controversy. Maybe some of you thought this was about that? It wasn't.
But I do think "something is in the air." In the zeitgeist.
To summarize: Actress Sydney Sweeney just made a commercial for American Eagle. It echos an infamous 1980 commercial by then underage supermodel Brooke Shields.
This is the original ad. "good jeans"

you looks at the orginal Brook Shield ad had a point. Jeans that fit. That their jeans are superior because they fit.
Jeans back then did not have lycra and could be incredibly confining. They could be so tight some women used plyers to zip them up at the first wear after a wash. "Survival of the fittest" was the selling point. She touches her foot to her head. The jeans fit and are thus superior, with no direct inference to Brook.
(Can we recognize just how Brook pulls off that technical dialog while getting dressed and basically doing yoga? That isn't easy)
The tag line in the modern ad conflates the model's genes with jeans.
That her genes are superior, as well as her jeans.
