14th December 2014 - Advertising and Volumising

Thought for the day: "Women only call me ugly until they find out how much I earn!!  Then they call me poor and ugly..."

Christmas is coming - but he parodies are still good - Here Sainsbury's and the famous WW1 football match gets an updated viewing...


There are other things that get me, and I am sure that more will come to mind as we come up to Christmas..  They are some of the adverts.  I do not know the name of the product - so some advertising exec has failed already, but I was shocked an stunned today to hear a hair product advert talking about volumisation of hair ...  What !!!  Volumisation?? What on earth is that ??

I was shocked and stunned , and turning to Google fully expected to get a googlewack - a complete lack of understanding of the term - I was to be disappointed!
My first hit was the "Volumisation treatments with Restylane"

I am reliably informed that "The Restylane range of Dermal Filters can be used in combination to restore and enhance volume to your facial featuresfor a more youthful appearance"

I also found a page for the Emerval range of products - strangely their website looks very similar and tells me that "The Emerval range of Dermal Filters can be used in combination to restore and enhance volume to your facial featuresfor a more youthful appearance"   sounds familiar?

And then there are pages of clinical advertising ...   So it seems that the word has snuck in under the radar..

We have volumisation at Amazon and Volumisation at Ebay - I despair .. I really do !

Dictionary dot com tells me that the word originated back in 1991  and tells me "to add volume to, as the hair; to enhance the thickness or body of....."

Verb

  1. simple past tense and past participle of volumize

Adjective

volumized (comparative more volumized, superlative most volumized)
  1. Appearing to have more than normal volume. 
Seems the world just got a sadder place ...
Enough to drive you to drink... Bottled the "41" red over the weekend ..
But this calls for some special price Whisky from Tesco - £15 a litre..
