May 26th is . . .

Sally Ride Day brought to you by the letter A:




Sally Ride 1983January

I really tried to come up with a vintage ad with or about Sally Ride and I couldn't come up with anything.  Anyone have something?

Just so no one complains that this post doesn't include an actual ad, here ya go:

queen of outer space 1958
It's sorta related. 

The Many-Hued Future

One of my favorite images is a spectrum of color, especially common in the forties and fifties with the explosion of artificial dyes, colored plastics, and the inks to print advertisements for them.

Monsanto, 1939

BBQ

It likes me, it really likes me!

BBQ means low and slow

To make real barbecue at home, it helps to have something like this:

Longhandle smokers 1984

Or you can go to a place like this:

Sadler's smokehouse 1985
Or this:

sauls-raleigh-1956
Found at this awesome little site: http://bbqjew.com/2012/03/05/sauls-vintage-bbq-ad/

Who else is from a region where when the term "barbecue" is used to mean grilling or any kind of cooking out makes you cringe a little bit?
