This Movement Needs a Celebrity

As a suburban and blogging nobody, it's difficult to make companies like Dolce & Gabbana listen when I get upset. It occurred to me the other night that what this movement against violent advertising needs, is a celebrity spokesperson. Let's face it, people like me aren't exactly buying D&G items. People who read my blog probably aren't either. Celebrities do.

So how does a small-time blogger, Mom, and part-time instructor get the attention of a credible celebrity? How does one convince a celebrity to pick up the cause, get pissed off, and speak out against major fashion companies who objectify women and advertise shoes with images of gang rape?

Do celebrities care? Does anyone know one so we can ask?

    5. I don’t know anyone, but I have a suggestion or two. Lots of celebrities have blogs…perhaps you can go from that angle. Or, maybe try a radio show or news outlet? Dennis Miller (WLS syndicated) sounds to me like a great choice. I have emailed a few and gotten responses on other issues. It can’t hurt. Jerry Agar (not syndicated WGN 720 Chicago)is another good guy. Laura Ingraham? Just a thought or two.

    6. Find somebody on Twitter. Like James Gunn or Allison Mack or Diablo Cody.

    7. The actress Kate Winslet would probably be a good choice. She is one of the few actresses whose boobs are real and despite her celebrity seems like a real person when you see her interviewed. Plus she is a mom…pretty sure she wouldn’t want her child to see those ads either.

    8. Demi Moore’s on Twitter (MrsKutcher, I think). She has daughters…

Tell me what you're thinking...
