The following post is from our advertiser, Park Avenue Smart Lipo.
Even if you're not familiar with French cinema's most iconic ass, you've still been influenced by it. Brigitte Bardot’s gorgeous body, immortalized in Godard’s 1963 film Le Mépris, personified the seemingly unachievable ideal women have pinned after for a generation. However, certain people contend that now it can be attained in a single day.
When Godard filmed Le Mépris there was no such thing as a personal trainer and a skin-tight sweater was considered provocative. However, the effortless perfection Bardot displayed on screen represented a cultural shift with regard to body-image. Since that time people have been in a frenzy to achieve her toned physique, torturing themselves with chaotic workout schedules and diets that constantly change and contradict themselves.
Paying homage to Godard’s masterpiece and its examination of the way we view ourselves, Park Avenue Smart Lipo has commissioned the short film, Gorgeous Within Reach, in order to let people know that the frenzy for perfection can and should stop now with BodySculpt. PASL’s innovative selection of body sculpting methods are minimally invasive and use low frequency radio waves and lasers, making it possible to attain Bardot’s effortless perfection in the morning and be ready to present it to the world by dinnertime.
