1. Inside cover of this week's (5/17/08) "Time" magazine: white gal/Black guy with arms around each other like lover's do and looking happy together. Showing some progress here. (Yes, I know they have photos of mixed races, but not a "couple" that were mixed races and looking like lovers.)
2. Harper's Bazaar magazine (for you guys who don't know, this is an upscale woman's fashion mag) used to give clothing ideas grouped as: 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, BUT now they are adding ages 60's and 70's. Again, some progress is being made in this area, too.
3. Seeing more gray headed models all the time. Men with gray hair was pretty common, but not women with gray hair until lately. Again with the men with gray hair = sophisticated; women with gray hair = just old.) So, some progress for us older gals with gray hair is being made, too.
It's all good so far...
Advertising is definitely, definitely changing with the times. I just wondered if anyone else noticed?
