Ads showcasing a pretty girl that is totally irrelevant to the product advertised is a tradition that goes back a ways. Nice Art Nouveau.

Thomas Haller Buchanan: My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
