I was browsing my motocross magazine when I stumbled across an interesting ad. It had an older man surrounded by three ladies. Each of the three ladies showed different characteristics. The bigger lady on the left hand side had a tattoo of an anchor on her left shoulder. The one standing behind the man was cradling her stomach showing that she was pregnant.

The first reason is that she is stable, maybe referring to the fact that she was the man’s holler back girl and would always be there for him. The second reason is that she is bisexual or lesbian and proud of it. This idea stuck me since she looks like she could be the man in the relationship. She is fairly masculine for a female, and also seems to have an Adams apple. This tattoo is coming back into style in a category known as retro and could play into modern culture.

She also seems out of place in this ad compared to the two other girls. Did the author of this ad do this on accident or was it on purpose showing all the results of being a player could lead to.
