somehow this commercial stayed in the back of my mind sinc ei was litle i totally remember it!! and thinking at the time they were in some crazy cosmetics lab and it put a little fear into me about plastic surgery and that kind of thing . it has a good message just a little hard for younger kids to understand. wish they would have more of these CCA commercials on the tv NOW i havent seen a meaningful commercial for a while.
This scared my daughter when she was really young, but in time she noticed all the fun I had against "Why be you when you can be me", and then she & I always had a great laugh at it. I think this ad was made in 2001
This reminds me of a commercial or a show or something about a girl who got a makeover and turned into a mannequin or a statue. ANYONE KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT????? it was from the 90s and the girl was blonde and was really pretty in the end but couldnt walk because she was becoming a statue
What's unfortunate about this ad is that the target audience probably didn't understand or make the necessary connections from the ad to the real world haha...
@sumermcdonough The girls see the woman and they want to look like her too. But when they walk in they realize they are trying to change who they really are.
This led me to believe that all beauty boutiques were just cover ups for torture facilities. I used to cry when my mom said she bought make up at a store.
i never understood anything, like most ppl, but the creepiest part i thought was when i was little is when that woman w/ the fake lips n everything smooches the camera. O_O
its not so creepy anymore.
i can find other things in this commercial thats even moreweird xD
omg...i remember this ad...there used to be a short version and i remenber this one..omg this brings back memories me and my 2 cousins saw this at thieir house once and then we were like...talking about it and saying how true it is and how we would never be like that..hmm we were 8 then...

I never understood this one when I was a little kid. To me it was just like "WHAT'S THAT?! WHAT'S THAT?! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
Instead of "be yourself/don't fall prey to peer pressure" I thought the message was closer to "you will die in seven days"...
