Keeping with the series of advertisements I've been looking at, I found this one particularly interesting. This one definitely speaks for itself... Besides the blatantly obvious phallic symbols, I took a look at the women in the ad. In almost all Skyy Vodka ads the women are not only in excessive make up but are made to look somewhat doll like. Here they both look like flawless porcelain dolls. Here with their mouths and eyes wide open it plays into the blow up doll imagery. Also interesting is the caption: Go Natural. Are they saying that what the women are doing(aka sexually) is natural, or that we should be natural? Because these women certainly look anything but natural...

You raise a good point. Besides the content of the bottle such as the cherry flavor, I can't see what is being referred to as natural in the ad. Unless the sexual behaviors hinted are what are supposed to be natural. Certainly the women aren't natural, you're right about that.
