Nothing like a tube of chemical goodness to huff on. What didn't kill us....

Amazing butter substitute that apparently doubles as hair dye!

One Day Event - Blondes in Ads: Clueless

[ejia-arath03.livejournal.com]

2015 marks the 200th anniversary of the publication of Jane Austen's novel, Emma.

More importantly, it is the 20th anniversary of the movie Clueless (an adaptation of said novel), which means Clueless is vintage!



(Well, it's Aug. 11 somewhere)

If we're all still around in nine years, we can do Mean Girls!

One Day Event - Blondes in Ads: Morton Salt and the Umbrella Girl

[ejia-arath03.livejournal.com]

I was just reminded about Morton's Salt Girl - the dear celebrated her 100th birthday last year, and doesn't look a day over 8! I'm guessing she might be a vampire. Blood is quite salty...





Morton Salt has made available these and a few other of their classic ads on their website.

SPECIAL ONE DAY EVENT!!!! TOMORROW!!!!

[misstia]

Tomorrow is Fidel Castro's birthday and I think we should have a day for tyrants. Tyrant Thursday!! Any historical or still living tyrant (no politicking please). Donald Trump is OF COURSE included in this! Perhaps some feminine hygiene ads this time for him? And did y'all see Putin ordered Western food imports to be destroyed while people in Russia are starving? So uh, death is better than eating food from countries he doesn't like? Not even offering them cake, as Marie Antoinette alleged said.

Ads that represent a tyrant (ie: douche ads for Trump; bra ads for Putin--he's a boob), or ads that even mention a tyrant--i know there's some WWII ones that mention Hitler and Cold War ones mentioning Stalin.

We shall overcomb tyrants with mirth and merriment and vintage ads!!
