I'm sure there's some sort of connection between razors and the Frida Kahlo reference, but I'm not quite sure what it is. Anyone? 

ETA: Someone posted the answer in the comments, but I won't put it here in case anyone else wants to play. :)

This was a real ad, but it's not vintage. Somehow Spam and tripping on acid really seem to go together.

Below the cut: the original ad (Ladies' Home Journal, Nov. 1985, p127), and detextified version. Add your own captions. For inspiration I suggest this youtube video mocking the ego monster "actress" posing for this ad (probably NSFW).

I really think Wacky Packages deserve a place of honor in the Annual Amnesty.

http://www.wackypackages.org/bestof/weakies.html   (<--a great slide show of more than 50 of the best ones)

Here are two (NOT Wacky Packages) in the same vein with a very Halloween theme!

1. Schraft's

I was inspired by [livejournal.com profile] noluck_boston to find some other Mad Ads:

FULL SIZE 976x1280

I particularly love 50's ads about the wonders of new packaging - this captures them brilliantly.

FULL SIZE 1007x1280

And of course, Maidenform ads are a class unto themselves.  I love this twist.

FULL SIZE 960x1280

The oil portrait top half, the text-heavy bottom half, the 50s politics - all spot-on.

I honestly thought this was a real ad when I first saw it.

link to a new news post....apparently someone somewhere got a clue?? the post says that infinite scrolling will be able to be turned off, you'll be able to customize text and background image of the friends page and they address the paid account situation....apparently, how i read it, everyone will have a basic account but you can then pay for add ons but those with paid or permanent accounts will be considered elite accounts....

the staff person who posted this in lj releases is a good person who has worked hard in what has to be a very difficult time for them---they worked out of the US office----and they were one of the few, if the only, staff person who waded in and tried to reply to comments about the subject lines in comments and tried to communicate to the russians about that....they also had communicated about the infinite scroll too....so if you post on this entry over there, please now that this staff person isn't one of THEM who gleefully mocks people who are upset when their blog site becomes a facebooktumblrtwitterclusterfuck.....

whereas i think lj only caved on these things due to the backlash they were facing---and fleeing users---i personally still would not trust 'em....they've gone back on way too many things.....and someone reported earlier that they were having problems crossposting from DW to LJ and it was LJ's fault....i've mentioned this before and i'll mention it again, if you are even considering getting a DW, please do it now and import your LJ while you still can before LJ prevents any more importing....at least you'll have it backed up somewhere if you never use the DW account......
