I'd all but given up on Old Navy style for the past few years but Nina definitely drew me into the commercial. Being in rural Maine, I don't see many people who look like me to begin with. To see one who wasn't in a rap video I had to pause and watch. I couldn't help but notice her different outfits and wonder what I would look like in them. So yes, for me, she definitely drew my attention to the product.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581615684343808280.post-66500174131613525122008-05-08T20:40:00.000-07:002008-05-08T20:40:00.000-07:00Her skin is amazing...when I see girls like her I ...Her skin is amazing...when I see girls like her I see the birth of the universe, the true face of nature, and all things akin to beauty.

I agree when they races are all paired off(i.e. there is only one black guy and he automatically goes with the black girl)I always think, "hey not all black people will like each other romantically". I was just happy to see a dark skinned model to be featured so prominently in a tv ad even if only for old navyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581615684343808280.post-56419147873777723022008-03-24T17:01:00.000-07:002008-03-24T17:01:00.000-07:00I hadn't seen this before!

I personally am loving the new direction of Old Navy, they've got some great plus size stuff (and a gorgeous black model who does lots of their plus size modeling). I agree with you -- when I see a model who looks like me, I immediately feel more drawn to the product. I love the patterns they're using, and the flats... I'm gonna have to go shopping soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581615684343808280.post-57325124732406140112008-03-24T09:59:00.000-07:002008-03-24T09:59:00.000-07:00watch for nina keita in the future - her career wi...watch for nina keita in the future - her career will blow up for a season or two BECAUSE of the ON ads... She clearly has personality, style and serves the camera really well. It feels like you know her from somewhere - she's genuine.<BR/><BR/>as far as the color of her skin is concerned - whatever - she is so beautiful and guessing she he has a great heart based on what I've read... Like Langston Hughes and Maya Angelo said years and years ago - "when will both people of African and Euro heritage cease using the terms 'Black and White' when referring to human beings of sacred character? People's skin color is not black or white - inanimate objects, pets and animals are black and white, but not human beings..." (paraphrased) - remember, Dr. King was passionate about judging ourselves and others by the content of our character not by the color of our skin - It's about time this "Black and White" thing was left out to pasture-neverushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598207022498616188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581615684343808280.post-90479961729231823752008-03-24T05:38:00.000-07:002008-03-24T05:38:00.000-07:00I have an irrational dislike for Old Navy.
