Model slams ‘prudes’ who helped ban her Playboy lingerie ad

Guess model Simone Holtznagel is clearly not one to be messed with.  

An ad for Playboy lingerie was banned Monday after complaints to the Advertising Standards Bureau. The reason? It was too sexy. "Vulgar" apparently. Now the ad's star has taken to Instagram to vent about it. 

According to Mumbrella, one complaint labelled the ad, shown in the window of underwear boutique Bras N Things, as"amateur porn" and said Holtznagel was "not merely modelling the underwear, they were moving suggestively, gyrating and looking lasciviously at the camera … It was a demeaning and embarrassing display."

The watchdog's decision was based on their view that "the silent, moving image draws the eye of passers-by … the model is stroking her hair and her moving her body suggestively and that this amounts to a sexualised impact." 

But the video's star also takes offence, albeit for totally opposite reasons. Holtznagel did not mince words in her Instagram response to the advertisement's ban, saying "How dare you sexualise my body. How dare — after all society's requests — you take a confident and carefree depiction of a normal, healthy womanly body, promoting women's products to women, and deem it offensive." 

"Do not impress your insecurities on me, whether physical or sexual. But by saying my body, just comfortably being my body, is somehow 'wrong' or 'dirty' you are insulting and potentially damaging any woman who may identify with me. Keep your neuroses off my body and go watch some REAL porn, you might be less uptight."
