Give Me a Break!

Jenna Lyons is J.Crew's Creative Director, and MAN has she done an impressive job in the last few years. She has broght J.Crew into the 21st century, keeping its preppy style but adding a modern and more trendy twist.

J.Crew's website has a section called "Jenna's Picks" where shoppers can see Lyons' favorite items. Recently, J.Crew featured Lyons in a more up-close-and-personal ad series.

This ad shows Lyons with her son, painting his toenails. The ad has sparked a bit of controversy, asking if it is appropriate for parents to support boys participating in what is traditionally a girl's past time.

What I have learned here is that some ads can be controversial even when they aren't meant to be. We all have different values and beliefs. What I say is....LET HIM WEAR PINK!
