On February 9, 2002 according to Reuters: "French Feminists protest ad featuring model with black eye

Several dozen women have demonstrated in pouring rain in front of a top Paris department store to protest over an advertisement showing supermodel Laetitia Casta with a black eye. Around 50 members of La Meute [The Pack], a group that monitors ads it considers derogatory to women, gathered outside Galeries Lafayette chanting slogans and waving banners in front of a giant billboard showing a smiling Casta with bruises and torn clothing.

The idea is that women fight each other for goods in the sales, but a black eye comes from a fist blow, and is a very particular sort of violence, said Florence Montreynaud, the founder of the organization."

La Meute and Chiennes de Garde. ASFAD, CADAC, Femmes libres, Mix-Cité and RAP joined the demonstration.

In the center the woman, who demonstrates with a red mask on the top of the head in her hair,
has only one applied make-up eye integraly with black mascara, to have a fake black eye.
Behind her, another woman seems also to be a fan of the asymmetrical integral mascara.

On the right, the upper left corner of the visual has been removed to hide the main reason, the goal: the little red heart.
If one begins to remove the reason of the heart in this story, what does it remain? A smile out-of-context!
She is dressed more like an adventurer except the visible black bra that nobody has grabbed in the fight.

Since Darwin, life is a competition. Jean-Paul Goude likes this theme of the running:
with the three boys for Kodak (at 7:16s)

or the women wearing colored gown and black stocking for the Galeries Lafayette.
