I was flipping through my August issue of Allure when I came across the new Donna Karan advertisement for her "Be Delicious" Big Apple fragrance. It's like a Roy Lichenstein painting. There are a series of print advertisements that look are pop art.

Here are just a couple samples.





The packaging is limited edition and is also pop art.



The old one is quite plain when compared to the limited edition pop art packaging. I'm glad that DKNY introduced the pop art because it's a breath of fresh air when compared to other perfume's packaging.



What's really cool is that the pop art packaging is extending to more than just the fragrance.

Have you ever come across an advertisement that reminded you of something else entirely? When you compare the two, the resemblance is uncanny. Right?

This is a quick scan (don't mind the dirty part, it's from my scanner) of the latest Shiseido makeup ad I saw in September's Allure magazine.




This is Slavitza Jordan who played "Gozer" in Ghostbusters.



Does anyone else see the resemblance?




Can you think of any ads you've seen recently that pay homage (not intentionally) to old movies or anything out of the ordinary?
