Cover Girl Promo

[AKA2D '91]

Have you all seen the new Cover Girl campaign featuring Queen Latifah and Faith Hill?

I haven't seen all of it, but I know at the end, they both sing " ...easy breezy, beautiful..."

You know the rest!

Yes I've seen it, I thought it was cool.

[DreamfulOne]

I saw it but I miss her talk show! I can't believe they took her off the air

The print ads look great; the Queen looks fabulous. Its about time to see a littlke variety in the models (especially those of color......we don't all look like Veronica Webb or Tamiko (spelling?)

[Ania]

My mouth dropped when I say Queen Latifah and Faith Hill. I'm really glad that Cover Girl decided to "get real" with their advertisements.

I saw it and thought it was very tasteful. I'm glad to see someone supporting full figured woman. The Queen is a very attractive women!!!

i saw it a few times and i was susprised they put Queen in becuase she is over weight or very big boned, whateva you want to call it, but i think she may be the first overwieght lady they have ever put in a cover girl commercial at least in my recent memory. i ain't mad at her though, now Faith is fabulous and a "typical cover girl" so i can see why they have her, i think Queen is pretty but i wouldn't call her a Cover Girl, now Brandy is a Cover Girl. but that's just my opinion

Sister,

I'm sorry to read your post. Queen is not the typical CoverGirl but I would not go so far as to say because of her size she is not CoverGirl marterial. She is a tall woman but I would not describe her as overweight.

I have always found Queen Latifah to be a beautiful sista. I remember when first came out donned in regal hats and majestic clothes which showed a different side of her. All hail the Queen. I am glad that we are being recognized as beautiful no matter what shape or size.

Wow. I think the exact opposite. I think Queen Latifah is beautiful, and I don't think Brandy is cute in the least. People pay more attention to body size/type than they do to faces nowadays.

brother,

i said overweight or big boned, lol, i don't know how overweight she really is vs just having a large frame since i havn't met her in person, anyway you have to admit she isn't what we typically see as the CoverGirl type, that doesn't mean i'm against it, i was just susprised like i said i ain't mad at her.

I feel exactly te same way. I don't think Brandy is that attractive and think the Queen has a prettier face. I mean they are selling makeup after all.

I've seen the commercials, and it's a good idea, IMO, to use Queen Latifah because she's an attractive, 30-something woman. Many women get a boost in their buying power (better jobs, promotions) after turning 30. I'd think a woman in that age range is more relatable than a 20-something model type.
As an aside, I like seeing Queen Latifah as an endorser, along with Soror Star Jones, who I believe has done work for Saks Fifth Avenue's Salon Z in the past.

I would have preferred to see Monica in a ad before Brandy.

(You all know I LOVE Monica, check out an old thread from days gone by featuring our takes on Monica and Brandy)


ummmmm Faith needs to decide which color she is going to wear in her hair before they should include her in a CG add. She would probably fit in with L'Oreal. LMAO

I agree that Brandy is not "cute" in my opinion. It's something about her nose

Are you talking about Faith Hill or Faith Evans?
I think Faith Evans is also another beautiful woman but she definitely has a rainbow coalition going on with her hair.
