You've probably seen this ad—they do it all the time—for menstrual pads. Not so long ago, a commercial for these products would have been unthinkable. In fact, I remember the first menstrual pad commercials very well. There was a girl, wrapped in a white towel, who approached her mother and said, enigmatically, happily, and determinedly: "Mom... Already..." In newspapers and novels, it hasn't been that long since it was talked about.
There's humor in this ad. It's about women doing yoga. They have to do—and the joke is implied—compromising postures. One says to the other: "Let the energy flow." And the other replies, in a low voice, because they're in class: "What will flow will be mine." floor...". I haven't seen the ad in Catalan, and therefore I don't know how they would translate the word, which in Spanish is euphemistic, soft and childish. Pee It would have been too harsh. It reminds me of what Lucía Etxebarria explained about the fashion magazines we collaborated on back in the good times. You couldn't use the term "arms." You always had to write "panties."
In the ad in question, everything ended well, and the woman who couldn't flow, flows. If I mention it, it's because, apart from being well done, there's an actress who has stolen my heart. Every time she appears on TV, I die laughing. In the ad, the one with the problems is called Julia. And they recommend the pads to her with great satisfaction, so at the end she says: "Now I can completely flow." But in the final frame, you can see her next to another woman who hadn't appeared before. Many people won't have seen her, precisely because they have to skip the ad as soon as they can. She's blonde and has curly hair. The look of madness, excitement, and dismay on Julia's friend's face is so funny it makes me, sorry, pee my pants laughing. I want to know her name. I want her to be given a series.
