Spare me your "Phosph this and Phosph that..."

Is your constitution shattered? Do you poop out at parties? Then try...

Yanno, if it's good enough for the frickin' Empress of Russia, it's good enough for me.

Question: Where do people get old magazines anymore? I don't see them in thrift shops or garage sales like I once did. Maybe Estate Sales are a better bet? This ad came from a book about World War One.

Observation for Mods: If you want a physical prize for the barf food contest, have you considered sending the winner several boxes of Lime Jello? Then they could create their own wonderful dishes at home. And it's gotta be ~Lime~ - I'm just sayin'.

I am an ebay addict, and I can tell you they actually sell ads on ebay. Not just old magazines, but the full page ads only . Seriously. Here's one I pulled up:


http://cgi.ebay.com/1937-Newspaper-Ad-Maybelline-Mascara-Solid-Cream-/120568692485?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c12743f05


Don't know how links will show up, so if you're interested & it doesn't load right, go to the ebay site and look for item #120568692485


There are A LOT of old/vintage ads, and some are priced pretty high. (Don't know how well they sell, but since I've been seeing them for years now, I guess it must be a fairly profitable sales category.)

Cool - thanks for the info. Who knew there was a market like that?
