Holly Madison Svedka 0061 Holly Madison and her bikini sell vodka on a chilly day

The turkey is done.

I have to say that these promo pics of Holly Madison wearing a bikini on a nippy day trying to sell us some Svedka vodka leave me with mixed feelings. On one hand, it’s always nice to see a curvy well-endowed woman outside in a bikini on a cold day. That’s a given. On the other hand these photos make a strong case for the use of Photoshop in media. I suppose I should find it refreshing that these pics weren’t manipulated to death, but I don’t. Don’t misunderstand me though. If Holly showed up at my house in this outfit I would drop to my knees and thank the heavens above. It’d be like winning the lottery. But she didn’t show up at my house, she’s in promotional photos and I see flaws. See what I mean about mixed feelings? Damn you society for creating these confounding expectations!!
