Joanna Newsom Soundtracks Push-Up Bra Commercial

thumbnail icon: Joanna Newsom Soundtracks Push-Up Bra Commercial

Last time we posted a Victoria's Secret bra ad, Lykke Li provided the music while Heidi Klum sold us on the Ipex line's microsmooth fabric and nipple concealment. In this new spot, Miranda Kerr models the Dream Angels push-up to the Celtic strains of Joanna Newsom's "Sprout And The Bean." It was filmed in the woods, so that's probably why the elfin harpist's music came to mind.

Joanna recently debuted new tunes at a secret show in Big Sur. Naturalismo was there.

Hmm, I've never actually pondered Joanna's cup size. I guess this ad served its purpose!

Ok. That is unforgivable. For one, from a gender politics perspective, contributing to a bra commericial with a barbie shaped model is not cool. Second, she didn't have the decency to record a new song for the commercial, like Stephen Merritt did in some car commercial he did. Instead, she demeaned one of her older songs, treasured by her fans. I just can't believe Newsom needs the money enough to justify this. It's not like she's some unknown act just trying to make some money in the biz. Newsom can go on tour and sell out every show. This transaction is gross.

you're gross. most people who listen to joanna newsom are probably consumers of victoria's secret undies. so eat it up, voomer.
