The composition and diagonal movement in the space are two of the features of

A muscular man‚ with wash board abs and a strong jaw line modeling a pair of Calvin Klein underwear is an appealing advertisement‚ but so is a fit woman who is by no means flat-chested and is modeling a zebra print bra and panty set. The appeal all depends on the audience’s likes and dislikes.
