Eva Mendes blasts lingerie ad critics

Hollywood actress Eva Mendes has blasted religious critics for tagging her Calvin Klein lingerie ad as raunchy. She insists the semi naked poster is ’tasteful and beautiful’ and not otherwise. Imdb.com reports that the actress’ latest ad for the fashion firm raised eyebrows, particularly a poster in downtown New York City that shows the half naked star sprawled across an entire city block.

Critics protested and wanted the poster pulled down, but Mendes insists they’re wrong in their approach."It’s a religious group that has a problem with the image. That’s what I love about this country. We can voice our opinions and beliefs like that. But they’re wrong. I don’t think I’m traumatising any children. I think it’s a really tasteful and beautiful ad," she said.
