Is it just me, or does it seem like the media think everyone spends (or should spend) all of their summer holidays relaxing on exotic beaches? From TV adverts to music videos and magazine articles, everywhere seems to be showing images of 20 somethings drinking cocktails under palm trees wearing the latest in summer fashion. I am starting to think they all have partnerships with Thomas Cook! Either that or they think they are more likely to sell that dress/drink/fake tan if people think it will lead to fun in the sun.
The fact is, not everyone has the time or can afford to spend 2 weeks in LA. Even if they did, they might not want to and should not be made to feel that it is what they should be doing. And in this country, we don't really have the weather for it. So I think the media need to be a bit more realistic in their portrayal of summer.
