Oh jesus christ.

Sometimes I DON'T miss the 70s.

[gmdreia.livejournal.com]

Because the guy wearing that ugly shirt cares about MY sanity. Yep.

[hazeltea.livejournal.com]

It took me a minute to figure out if the picture was of "you" or "your guy".

[write-light.livejournal.com]

It's his freewheelin' 70s hair - very Bruce Jenner.

[blaq.livejournal.com]

oh for fuck's sake..

[talonvaki.livejournal.com]

See, now, I thought that ad was saying that that guy was my No. 1 reason for needing Midol.

[write-light.livejournal.com]

XD yes, I thought that too. :D

[glass-houses.livejournal.com]

Coincidentally (and certainly not unsurprising), there is no pill for him.

[queer-kitten.livejournal.com]

*snort* my thoughts exactly

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

read it the same way XD

[blucola.livejournal.com]

I remember this ad. I wanted to slap layers out of his hair even then.

[jazzybabe56.livejournal.com]

wonder if he has any of that hair left today.....LOL

Bill Paxton?

[baron-waste.livejournal.com]

Dang. That does look like Bill Paxton. And as he was born in AD 1955, that's possible; based on stylistic evidence I'd date this ad to AD 1977, ± 1 year. (The shirt and necklace make it earlier than 1979, the clean-shaven hairstyle later than 1975.)

I don't believe it to be so, mind you, but it's possible.

Paxton was too busy helping to direct and film this darling 1980's gem

Doing for yourself does not even make the top 10.

And, yeah, I would have thought he was cute back in the day. I'll bet this came from Seventeen magazine.

[cajoje.livejournal.com]

Be the chemically altered version of yourself he prefers. Ah, hell. Just get some Valium, sedate yourself into a stupor and make him really happy.

THE PERFECT WOMAN IS STRANGELY LIKE A BLOW UP DOLL WITH A PULSE AND A UTERUS.

[cajoje.livejournal.com]

Chuh.

[phyrbyrd.livejournal.com]

FUNNY THAT

[stella-down.livejournal.com]

if I looked at his shirt for too long, I'd definitely need help with my irritability.

[mswyrr]

BE THE YOU HE LIKES...

..UNTIL ONE DAY YOUR SUPPRESSED FEELINGS RISE UP AND YOU EXPLODE HIS HEAD WITH YOUR HERETOFORE UNKNOWN POWERS OF TELEKINESIS.

[meig.livejournal.com]

I can tell you right now that he didn't age well. He just looks like he wouldn't age well.

So maybe you could be the you he liked, but he certainly isn't the one YOU liked back then anymore.

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

I bet you're right. It's something about that forehead, and the nose. I can just see him, bald and with an overhanging brow and an... well, an unpleasant nose.

[zydee.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who loves that shirt? Oh god, I can't be the only one. Also, @meig- yes, that man probably aged like David Lee Roth and is now a lizard.

[1islandinthesea.livejournal.com]

I love it too! I remember (yeah, I'm old) when guys wore these. I recall having a girl version in a crinkly material with pearl snaps. I'll go so far as to say that I bet shirts like this would fetch a good price on Etsy. :)

[hannahsarah.livejournal.com]

I think my dad had that shirt.

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

I think I had that shirt! (I was six. Mama was still buying my clothes.)

[snapes-mistress.livejournal.com]

I think I remember ads like this from teen magazines when I was a teen in the 90s. Same idea, but the guys had flannel shirts and Backstreet Boy hair, LOL.

[fickletastictot.livejournal.com]

BYE GUY BYE

[chantalzola.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[glass-houses.livejournal.com]

It never gets easier whenever I see this ad. Makes me sick. My man will deal with my bitchy, complaining ass loves me even if I'm hemorrhaging from the vagina.

[flummoxicated.livejournal.com]

What a cute girl! Oh, wait...that's a dude, sorry.

Yeah, don't be yourself, just smile and be pleasant, even when you don't feel well. Then go make your man a sandsich.

BECAUSE YOUR CRAMPS ARE YOUR FAULT

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

Whatever the hell they used to put into Midol for cramps made me sleepy. So taking it at school was utterly useless.

[miss-october.livejournal.com]

He'd be in a bad mood too if his pelvis was killing him!

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

Be The You He Likes.

Jesus Christ laying floor tiles.

[ejia-arath03.livejournal.com]

Funny, I thought the no. 1 reason a woman had for taking whatever that is isn't their guy, but their uterus.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Um...my mother had that shirt...

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

No amount of Midol and feathered-hair jailbait is going to help the day-long rack of extreme uterine pain, or the fainting, or the repeated projectile vomiting, or the fucking bastard headache that have you wishing for disembowelment and trepanning.

Thank FUCK for menopause, is all I have to say: I wish it had started when I was eleven.
