I could be a great ad for Prozac…housewife/mom on the edge, but her doctor prescribed Prozac and now she finds her hectic life a little more manageable. So much so that she even wears sexy tops now!
A new age walking meditation DVD?
She’s got her eye on something and her back turned to the kitchen. How about an ad for going back to school to get your degree? Lots of moms are getting their degrees online now, this migh be a good ad for Univ of Phoenix or one of those ads that pop up while your trolling Monster.com.

Hanes.
I would say an ad for some sort of vacation destination, or resort.
She appears to be day dreaming about something good.
It looks like an ad for alien abduction. It is so peaceful out in space, just give it a try.
Tourism and Travel. North Eastern, because of the lighting.
I see a pregnancy commercial. Her shirt reads as a woman trying to hide a little belly, but unsure why she has it – “the uncertain feeling of not knowing can catch you at any moment. Be sure, be confident, be ready”
“Now where did I put that Santa Hat? I could of swore I took down all the Christmas stuff”. “I am scatterbrained!”
I think anti-depressants is right up there. Maybe say no to drugs, she sees her kid outside, getting weed from a thug. Or maybe for the dressmaker. She’s looking fabulous for when her husband gets home, all June Cleaver-like.
It reminds me of the clothing ads at Anthropologie and that top looks like it’s out of their catalogue.
How about wearing a bra so that your boobs don’t sag? Oh, someone beat me to the Hanes joke.
But probably feminine hygiene products. The “Am I feeling fresh?” feeling.
Wonder Bra, other textile retail, or some sort of prescription drug for any number of problems. (Depression, STD, et al.)
This is definitely an ad for http://www.AshleyMadison.com, the website that is like a match.com but for extramarital affairs. Her personal life looks a little rocky right now, and the pool boy might be right outside.
a good bra
fyi…the bra is huit…titcha balconnett (soft cup push up)…..not a wonder bra! just plugging my business…
An ad for an upcoming TV show based on the book “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” Caption reads: How do you tell your soulmate the first time you meet that you’ve actually known him your whole life?
The photo could be an ad for a New Kids On The Block concert. Tagline: “Return to Your Block”.

I see it as part of a montage of people looking at their home televisions, and are proud of the directions our government is taking on our behalf.
A dishwasher detergent.
Being freed from the kitchen – no longer having to worry about dishes. Being liberated – she is looking forward to having the extra time. Looks almost as if she has just tossed her dish gloves in the garbage and is walking out to a new adventure, not involving cleaning the house.
…It was a dark and lonely night….the power goes off…I hear something!!! in the hall??? window???……..
I could see this photo being a single woman that was just laid off wondering how she is going to make her next mortgage payment, car payment and all the while putting food on the table.
The product it promotes then could be many things:
–Loan Consolidation Offer
–Depression support
–Website trying to get people new jobs such as (Monster or CareerBuilder)
Hope you like it!
Armando, this is an excellent visual for the Stepford Wife 2009. She clearly is in standby mode in the kitchen – where else – awaiting her master to come through the door after a long day at work.
The way she is concerned but confident at the same time makes me think she hears someone who shouldn’t be in her home but knows that thanks to her Joe’s Dojo self-defense lessons, she’s going to kick some ass.
I thought about this and decided it’s not a print ad. I just don’t see one. But that’s lame. So I wrote this:
Headline: “And within the span of an hour, Susan felt vindicated. It’s always a man’s fault.”
Subhead/Brand: Lifetime Channel
I am thinking about dish detergent. There are dishes in the background,and she looks so amazing leaving the scene. They always seem to target women for cleaning products, and I like the idea that you can look this good and young and confident after doing the dishes. it is very hip and a great image. It would also work wonders for any music CD/promotional image for an artist (fashioner designer, etc).
i think this is a photo for a background-checked nanny list. what you don’t see in the background is her 7 year old son pulling her daughter’s hair as she writes “turd” on the wall.
so close to the truth…listen to the buzz…there’s tension, pressure, relief for nanny, escaping to retail, longing for…tangible, not in possession yet…calendar moods
A self promotion ad for a photographer.

I could see this being for an alternative energy source. The light from -what appears to be- windows to the outside is really strong on her face. This could be ad for anything about “going green” …something like those low-energy, high cost light bulbs. Or it could just be an ad for promoting “green-ness” – one of those awareness ads.
Or, hey, it could be for Windex? I can see the frame turning to the “newly cleaned window! Thanks to these great, new scents by Windex, our windows are not only clean, but they smell great too!”
Over-the-counter DNA Paternity Testing.
spiral-bound calendar of women in various postures of contentment. might encourage focus on happiness from within, from inner strenghth, not circumstances; some could be hysterically funny as well as moody.
I don’t read comments, so this may have already been done.
“Dishes done. Sitter at the door. Breathe.
Anthropologie.”
- BONE
Movie poster for “Men in Black 3″. The return of the husband in the “Edgar Suit”…. Laugh now MIB fans. HA!
SCIENTOLOGY!
I am thinking a television show. Maybe something on lifetime or A&E? A woman’s drama murder mystery maybe?
A divorce lawyer. Tired of waiting for you husband to come home when HE feels like it…
this is clearly an ad for a local dentist/teeth whitening firm, crop in on that face, “Is your smile holding you back, afraid of how your teeth look to others?”
promoting athletics to women who worry exercise makes a tomboy; very feminine, refined, and toned; love the colours of the scene
She has guest about to arrive and she smells the air and she needs to make sure there’s no bad odors in the air. It’s a photo for an air fresher.
