Since that shift advertisements and the media that cover women and gear it around them have a similar look and style to the provocative posing shot. Leading to how women need to have the 'total package' to get sponsors to be able to practice their sport for a living. This legging advertisement reminds me of the 1982 cover because of the deliberate posing that is no where close to the way a person would hold themselves while playing sports or working out. This advertisement is more centered on the 'feminine' look and style for active wear. These type of advertisements are seen all over the place for many different types of sportswear, clothing, etc. and unfortunately they are a part of the American society's cultural norms. I personally would like to see less 'provocative' posing that represents sportswear and more poses or action shots that show the particular piece of clothing in action and having a good quality for sports and working out wear and tear that it will endure.
