Come to LA, Meet Barbie!

December 6, 2006 at 4:46 pm in Fictional LA

Somewhere in Buenos Aires, Argentinean women are being lured to LA with sepia-toned photographs of the Hollywood Sign and promises of “going shopping, surfing, and seeing the latest.” LA is fun for las chicas.

Come on, if LA really wants to lure Latin American tourists, I’m sure the tourism board can do better than Barbie.

Do note that this is part of a larger campaign. And not that it is the best we can do, but Eva Longoria is part of it (as you can see from the top rigtht corner of the picture).

All of the campaign participants are listed here.

Maybe, but Mattel is straight-up West Coast, as is Barbie’s iconography.
