At first, it seemed impossible to find an ad that objectified women in order to sell a product, that is until I hit the latest fashion trends pages. It was there that I was reminded how these images were similar to what I once wanted to emulate when I was older.

To be cosmopolitan, do you need to have left the country? Is it possible to truly know about other parts of the world without first travelling there? Sure, cultures and people and places can be studied, but can you really understand it if you haven’t seen and experienced it? Because Puss, in Angela Carter’s “Puss-in-Boots” believes that he is a cosmopolitan, but never shows any signs of having ever left Italy.
