I quite like it- although what's the point of having Banderas in it? he's there for about 5 seconds.

Oh my GOD I love this advert. Is it "How To Marry a Millionaire" based? Because I know it's familiar... It's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, judge.

With a bit of Doris Day thrown in for good measure. I'm hoping there will be several more in the series with all the harpies competing for Antionio Banderas love - only for him to eventually disappear into the sunset with Dawn French.....

First thing that came to my mind was How to Marry - for the skiing bit, and the modelling section, and a couple of other bits I can't remember right now.
I loved it to a ridiculous degree - the whole design of it was ace, and I really liked the style of the Train one previously. If only m+S clothes weren't so shit.

Isn't 'The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year' by Andy Williams being used on another christmas advert at the moment?

The problem with Marks and Spencers is that the adverts do it a fair amount of justice, and the clothes are actually much better than they used to be, but the shops are just shit. You walk in, see a sea of granny clothes and walk back out. They all look terrible inside.
I too have now fallen in love with Antonio Banderas.

I'm dismayed, I don't really like it. It's all too self-conscious, with those captions.
And I don't need to know that Twiggy's surname is Lawson. What a boring surname.

I was fingering the Gilda dress, but it looks less good when not antagonizing Glenn Ford.

Noemi's first appearance in this is amazing.

They should've gone with Dita.

Why is Noemi the only one in a red dress in that scene when the other 4 are all dressed in black? Bugs the shit out of me.

Oh no! Lily Cole's pudgy little face annoys me more than anything right now! I had to fold over a magazine page with her face on it because it freaked me out that much.

Lily cole is not needed. At all.

Five is the optimum harpy number, so I'm worried about who will be dumped. I'd say Laura Bailey could be sacrificed, as she and Lizzy Jagger are basically the same person, but I would only want to see her go to make way for Myleene. Lily Cole has the dead eyes and flat face of an X-Files Grey. Unless the Spring campaign is set at Area 51, she has no place in Harpy World. P.S. How amazing is this pic?

For the next advert I want to see the Anti-harpies, headed up by Joanna Lumely and a pissed off Mylene.

Lily Cole looks disturbingly like Chucky the evil murdering doll. Its very wrong.
I've only just seem the M&S advert – on first viewing, seems pretty fab.

The correct harpy squad would be Noemie, Erin, Twiggy, Myleene and someone awesome like Eva Green. Interchangeable Blonde Harpy in each advert kind of ruiins it.

I think that Lily Cole is just doing Limited Collection stuff. So she might not ever be in a group harpie situation. I'd imagine she'll be doing more solo photo campaigns etc.
I do like the ad, but yeah, given the context, the dresses just aren't special enough. Twiggy gets on my nerves in these post-ANTM times. In fact, I have a policy of not buying anything that she models.

Eva Green would be a phenomenal harpy. However, I think she'd make the rest of them look like trolls by comparism.
