I get exactly what you're saying, but more often than not the "brand" or "lifestyle" we're being sold is an illusion that if it really exists can only be obtained by the stupidly rich.
The "truth" of the models being used doesn't matter, its how they appear in the end product.
Yet again if the people in control of these illusion use the models correctly it doesn't matter who they are or what their abilitys are the "illusion" which is the end product can come across as anything.
Even the so called supermodels are illusion, when seen in the flesh they're nothing special, only once photgraphed and the photshop wizards have had their way do they start apearing as the package the media seems to crave. Agents arranging thier apperances, club nights out and parties. They're nothing but puppets that are dropped as soon as they stop being popular and left to live off their over inflated egos, paychecks and book deals.
