I dunno...but I think if a major clothing brand starts using it in TV ads, it's no longer "hip". It's, at best, on the hip end of the mainstream, but no longer a sub-culture thing. Because it's no longer so much sub- as pop-.
Now, I wonder what will come next. Fedora hats and early 90s minivans?

Bike obviously has no compression.
And she has bags under her eyes.

I wonder if they found a stunt-woman (casting call: Caucasian female 5'10" 119lbs must be able to ride vintage motorcycle please send picture of legs) or if they just shaved down a skinny stuntman and handed him the strappy heels.

How do you know?
Also, I truly enjoy girls doing squid things, like insufficient gear. Terrible idea, but nice to look at. The stig probably wouldn't sell as much lacoste though.

That is the very unavoidable Ruby Pavillon helm... errhh...fashion statement.
In its white St Honore finish, it's only slightly under $800

$800 to get your face wiped off. Nice. I've been to places that'd cost you more for the plane ticket to get there than the helmet, but at least the face removal would be free.
