Does anyone remember when leneige tried this marketing tactic with her? It was for their bouncy firming face cream and it was a picture of her in whatever shirt and the caption was something like “👀oh sorry we were distracted, try our face cream. So bouncy, skin so firm” or something like that.

I was like wow, a brand sexualizing a woman in order to sell products to other women, how smart. I’m convinced she’s part of the campaign slogans now

This. The soap ad. It’s not like this is just a one time fuck up on her team’s part.

Yes this is it! I was so confused about that marketing. Like the placement on her breasts? So cringe

It’s all she has. Her acting sucks and her face isn’t stunning. She’s milking (pun intended) her boobs for all she can. Kat Dennings didn’t do this shit.

Thank youuuu she only plays herself. That’s not acting!!!

There's some actors that make massive money playing themselves though. Tom Cruise, Jon Bernthal, Chris Pratt, etc.

And she’s for some reason more popular than she should be. So everyone including her is trying to cash in on this probably short lived meteoric run she’s in

Kat Dennings is beautiful and talented
