1994, back when you could only reliably see a black women on British TV during the Olympics, or during an episode of Tom and Jerry, Ribena was out there changing lives.
It can’t be overstated how hard not being skinny and white was in the 90’s. While America had Cindy Crawford–beautifully bland and the apex of average–British women had to contend with Kate Moss. Barely teenage, rail-thin (and those rails didn’t have trains on them) and devoid of even a full pair of lips which might give non-white women something to emulate.
Yeah I know Naomi Campbell was about. British and becoming the most famous black model of all time. The problem was no-one was supposed to fancy her. She was appreciated like a Khoikhoi sculpture. Something to be acknowledged, exploited and left on display.
Can you imagine when the first bloke outside the pub saw Ribena walk past, as it dawned on him he was looking at one of the best looking woman in the entire city. You can only imagine how many lads were unable to stop their balls from spontaneously fizzing the moment they saw her naked, eye-to-nipple with some of the perkiest retroussé knockers physically possible.
Phenomenal.
