Very true and you should know better than anyone else here.  Your posts, you, and your infantile worship of all things dyson, are hammered and criticized by all posters here always even by dyson buyers/users, of which I am one.  Now you just need to follow your own advice.  Oftentimes more difficult than giving advice to others.

Nice try.

As a husband with a beautiful wife and father with a beautiful girl and coming from this position, I wondered how I’d handle someone taking a shot[s] at them.  I showed much restraint.

You taking a shot[s] at this IFA beauty proves you slave to much animosity (Dyson animosity).  In your defense, many in your industry are inventor wannabe's and they too (Dyson bad-mouthers) can’t innovate themselves (strong product) off the workbench. - Much like the manufacturers they hype and represent.

So are we to assume that the Dyson handheld is your little girl, and that the DC25 is your wife?  

Certainly it takes a Dyson insider to know the details of the photo shoot. 

DIB:

Let's get back to the lady models and their vacuum products.  One, the B&D lady, is poised to vacuum and looking genuine in the process.  The other, with the dyson handheld, is holding it up like a gun in the ready position to shoot [as in taking pot shots].  My preference is the marketing strategy and props of the B&D vacuum.  I said so here and don't need your permission or agreement.  Me thinsk you doth protest too much.  Like James.  Always looking for someone/something to lash out against with your holier than thou sue'em in court mentality.  How's that working for you and dyson?

Hi Carmine, we aren't really comparing like with like on the models, are we? The B&D photos is an offical product use photo, which will have be set up to a fine degree with location, lighting, and post shoot edits (i.e. photoshop). The 'Dyson' photo appears to simply be opportune photo with 'Miss IFA' as part of a trade show:-

This was likely written in to the agreement for the exibition - a small bonus to provide a relvent photo for a news article on the event. Great for the purpose, but hardly comparative with the B&D photo, in this instance. Dyson have a pretty good library of their own product profile / use photos.

Hello M00seUK:

Thanks for the clarification.  I didn't realize that when vacuum makers pay female models/vacuum users to pose with their vacuum products for photo shoots/product ads that they have other reasons in mind besides promoting the sales of their products.  I always thought this was the common denominator by all brand makers who choose femme fatales to pose with their products.  It surely must work.  So many do and have been doing so in the industry for years!

I still vote for the B&D lady, even after viewing the photo gallery for Miss IFA.  You get that way when you are old.  Set in your ways and likes and dislikes.  It's habit forming.

M00seUK:

If you have any ads for the new dyson handheld from the dyson library that are better for comparison purposes with the B&D lady, please post here.  Who knows.  Maybe I'll change my mind?

Oh, no contest, I'd much prefer the natural brunette over Miss IFA who looks like she's sporting a red wig.

To mention that Dyson's first television commercial, for the DC01, featured a relatively attractive lady in her mid to late 30s, but rather than simply being the 'eye candy', she was there to explain, to camera, the Dyson bagless benefits in a 'straight-up' manner. The script for said advert was written in-house at Dyson after they despised of creative suggestions puts across from ad agencies. The advert was widely acknowledged for sky rocketing the sales of the cleaner. These days Dyson are said to do all their creative marketing in-house and simply contract in directors to film their TV adverts.

There might be some photos in Dyson's on-line press release photo library. Alas I don't have a user account to be able to check. I'll let you know if I ever see any online.

Hello M00seUK:

We have similar tastes in women used in advertising.  At least on these two instances.

ORECK, as in  Dave, always does his own advertising.  Tho, at his age he is slowly passing the advertising to Judy ORECK.
