I’m sure Etsy knows its core audience…

…but the girl in this ad just exudes resentment to me. Not unlike Ralphie wearing the pink bunny suit in A Christmas Story.

I Agree!!!

Yes, she does look resentful, but it also makes me think of the ‘hipster ambivalence’ look that is often so stylish.

Funny story… I manage this campaign on the FM side. There’s another creative to that campaign which is a lot cuter. But they both look like they hide beautiful girls under that odd geeky look. I’m sure a lot of boys dig that.
