    It's to help give the illusion that she has a big butt. ;)

    And the fact the photographer got her on tippy toes in runners to make her legs look longer. Like I say IMHO same crap, different spin. The scarred knees one would have worked if they hadnt gone daft with the copy.

    I could be wrong but I assumed what with the hand wraps that she was supposed to be involved in/training for boxing which would explain the up on the toes stance, of course she'd probably be wearing Lonsdale rather than Nike in that case :p

    I'd still put money its more to do with the look than training.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I don't think she has a big butt at all! I agree though I'd be well chuffed to have her figure. I'm still puzzled as to why the ad says 'embassador' if it is real though?

    The ad in the OP turned out to be fake, but the text was lifted from a 2005 real campaign that was able to spell it correctly :)

    Doesn't Mary have a lovely bottom? I'm sure they all have lovely bottoms, that truly is a wonderful bum.

    Sorry for dragging this thread up again but a article in the Daily Mail today reminded me of it again...turns out that Reebok ad was totally wrong..

    Her stance is backwards. Should be left foot out, right leg heel up.

    I can't understand why she's not wearing shorts/ tracksuit bottoms for training.... :confused:

    Not surprised to hear Easy Tones don't really work. If you belived you could get scrawny like the wriggly ass girls on those ads wearing runners then you're a fool tbh. No offence.

    Also, Kelly Brook needs less training and more food these days - she looks unhealthy. Where did her curves go??
