Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 038 – Absolut Tubegirl.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This is a work in the style of the famous Absolut vodka advertisements that always carry a tagline consisting of the word “Absolut” followed by one other word. And sure enough, this is a cropped version of such a complete-seeming ad:

This ad-like artwork is by photographer Caesar Lima, and appears in his portfolio (under “Conceptual”) on his website. Although the Absolut brand has run a great many “novelty” versions of its signature ad campaign, this one seems unlikely to be a “real” advertisement for the liquor brand. In seeming confirmation of that fact, Lima’s list of client brands does not include Absolut.

A bit more digging turns up the interesting fact that the image of the woman in the bottle is actually one of six photos taken by Lima as part of his Body Shades project. The model is identified as Samantha Torres:

Unrelated to these images but of potential interest in reference to the frequent Erotic Mad Science “If you’re pretty enough, you don’t need a helmet” meme, Lima’s portfolio also features this countervailing image of a beautiful woman wearing an Apple-branded space helmet.
