Even less revealing

The girl's buttocks are now completely invisible, lacking even the tiny bit of "cleavage" the 2005 image shows. The commercial streamed on the company's website seems to verify what I saw on TV... it's covered up entirely. Notable, considering the whole point was to show the tan line.

Yeah she no longer even looks tanned. It won't be long now til they put a top on her. Friggin prudes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 00:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

Add any additional comments: I have 1965 photo of Coppertone girl and dog original art. The photo was shot with my Polaroid camera by an advertising assistant in Plough, Memphis, Tennessee, offices at my request. I am holding the large Plough Art Department original art that had been retouched several times. At the time of photograph, I was Advertising Production Coordinator of Plough and its several subsidiaries.

Fair use rationale for Image:Jim carey rolling stone cover.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Couple of Corrections

This entry identifies the "Coppertone Girl" model as artist Joyce Ballentine's daughter Claire, while Ms. Ballentine told an interviewer it was her daughter Cheri. The Wikipedia article on artist Ballentine also identifies the bare-bottomed daughter as Cheri.[1]

In 2004, 48-year-old Cheri Brand was not a political science major at Wake Forest University, but a personal trainer at the Ocala, Florida, YMCA. I suppose she could have subsequently enrolled at Wake Forest, but it seems unlikely.

Revision needed to agree with the 2004 St. Petersburg Times interview and the Wikipedia entry on Ms. Ballentine.

where did it really come from

the icon for coppertone came from a high school contest in redondo beach, ca does any one know any thing about this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.8.33 (talk) 03:18, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Political correctness crap

As currently written, the article says Coppertone ditched their Indian chief logo for reasons of "political correctness". Unless this statement can be supported with documentation, it should be removed. Political correctness, a vicious social poison injected into the social consciousness by the Frankfurt School during its exile in the United States in the 1940s-1950s, was just beginning to take hold in the early 1960s, but wasn't widespread yet. In 1959, nobody cared about Indians, let alone using them to name sports teams and setting them up as cigar store signage, just as the word "n**ger" was still in common use in print and speech. —Quicksilver^{T @} 16:41, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Scent Branding

On 20 June, I added a paragraph about Coppertone's fragrance. The fragrance is a very important part of the product's branding, and I found some good authorities to cite. However, the paragraph would be better if it had a description of the fragrance. It is easy to find widely differing opinions on the Internet. The only authoritative descriptions I found were official Coppertone advertising. Unfortunately, those descriptions were terms like "fresh". So vague as to be almost useless. Anyone know of a better source? Condensinguponitself (talk) 21:08, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Sun Screen Chemistry

May I ask does anyone know how the product works, what was the breakthrough chemistry that was discovered/developed, and what were the changes made over the decades? 2001:1970:49DB:7100:FC98:15DA:C32C:943B (talk) 07:28, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
