Thin Lizzy...
I thought this TV ad needed it's own thread...
THIN LIZZY…. What a brilliant marketing ploy. Top award goes to the founder of this scheme. For those of you who haven’t yet landed on these green shores, I will fill you in.
Thin Lizzy is a “do-it-all” makeover for……erm…ladies.
It consists of a blusher/foundation and an applicator brush, and apparently comes in a nice shiny plastic compact. Amongst the many claims made by the vendors of said product, are that it is suitable for any skin type, and colour, covers blemishes, spots, birth marks, gang tats, leprosy pock marked skin, open bleeding sores and stretch marks.
The sales pitch is the usual “buy it at a one time only price of… reduced from… free applicator brush etc” This is followed by the also very often seen “four stooge demo”. This consists of four photos of different ladies, one with a face full of birth marks, one with an arm/shoulder “transfer” tattoo and one who looks like she has been blasted in the face with both barrels of a shotgun… and a leper. The poses are all the same, bad lighting, all sporting the same “just been feked and thrown through a hedge” 70’s ‘air-do’s’ and topped off by giving them the news that they only have one week to live!
Following a bit of smooth patter from the “spiv”, the next set of pics show the women to have been transformed completely. Gone are the birthmarks, the tattoo, the facial injury and even the leper looks good! The “barnets” have all been re-done (must have flown someone in for that… know what I mean ladies?
), the lighting has been tuned to perfection, and of course they have all been given the all clear on the dying thing, but in fact told they have won the lottery instead!
Now look, I’m not against anyone trying to look their best, and god knows some of you do need help. Whilst mother nature and genetics have been exceptionally kind to a few of us, there are those out there who need all the snake oil they can get. But for god sake, don’t buy into this crap, it is just ground brick dust and lard… but if you do, remember to use it sparingly. I have seen ladies young and old, absolutely “caked” in this stuff. (Pak n’ Save staff, you know who I mean
) I kid you not, I have a mate back home who works for Co-op Funeral Services, and man I have seen him create a few cock-ups in his time, but to be fair, even on a Monday morning following an all-weekend bender, his “work” still looks far better than most Kiwi women’s makeup attempts. Remember girls, less is more.

And the most often used phrase on these kind of adverts:

Oh Kevin, my sides are aching, there's only so much karma I can give you.
For the unitiated who just think you are a nutjob, I give you six in one... Thin Lizzy.

It reminds me of those market stalls of the seventies, where you had to watch a demonstration with all the blarney and patter; then you get the once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase, not one, not two, but three of the special whirlygig things, only available today to you madam for twenty five quid.
Just thank the lord that the gobby Radiessence tart, with her magical luminescent spheres has vanished off the scene,
