Southern Belle Burlesque Ads

Blondie the Infamous Stripper is the Face of the A+ Charity Campaign

— June 2, 2013 — Naughty
Many celebrities have acted as the faces of ad campaigns and luxury brands, but never has a stripper become the face of a charity campaign—until now. Blondie the legendary Atlanta stripper has been chosen to advertise the A+ charity campaign, which calls both amateur and professional advertisers to compete for the chance to win a pimp cup and see their ads used in the name of charity.

A series of videos have been released in collaboration with ad agency Iris, featuring Blondie dressed as a southern belle and sitting outside of a grand plantation. She sips wine, cuddles a dog and works that chic floppy hat of hers looking every bit the lady. Until she shows off her colorful vocabulary, that is.

This charity campaign has taken a daring and tongue-in-cheek approach to their organization. Using a stripper as the representative figure for a charitable organization is a bold step but is also hilariously effective. This is one ad campaign that few people will forget.
Trend Themes
1. Controversial Advertising - The use of Blondie the infamous stripper as the face of the A+ charity campaign shows potential for disruptive and attention-grabbing advertising.
2. Humorous Messaging - The tongue-in-check approach of the A+ charity campaign can pave the way for other organizations to use humor as a means for engaging with audiences.
3. Unconventional Spokesperson - Using a stripper for advertising opens up the possibility for organizations to tap into unconventional spokespersons to catch the attention of audiences.
Industry Implications
1. Charity & Non-profit - Charitable organizations could explore more daring and humorous approaches to promoting their causes.
2. Advertising & Marketing - This campaign highlights the potential for bold and unconventional advertising methods to drive engagement and success for brands.
3. Entertainment & Nightlife - The use of a stripper as a spokesperson shows potential for nightlife venues and adult entertainment businesses to take a more forward and bolder approach to their advertising.
