Recovering from the Party (Saxin, 1970)

[neuralclone.livejournal.com]

Since we all rather over-indulged at misstiajournal's birthday party yesterday, I think it's time we got back in shape. I'm going to kick off with an artificial sweetner to help me lose weight. *g*



So does anybody else want to contribute some ads that can show us how to recover after eating all that cake and drinking all that alcohol yesterday?

(Ad from British Vogue, August 1970)

Wait, you mean I should STOP stuffing myself with cake and booze?

[misstia]

cake and booze all week! :P

That leather dress/bikini doesn't look very comfortable.

[pandora-nervosa.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the very same.

Like she needed to lose them.. Even with two more inches she'd still look good! o.O

So, it's saccharin, and it can magically keep you from gaining weight, but side effects include thinking that outfit was a good idea?

[neuralclone.livejournal.com]

Well it was the 1970s. Bad taste was fashionable!

If it's British VOGUE, shouldn't she be crowing about losing five centimeters?

[neuralclone.livejournal.com]

Not in 1970! If I recall rightly they hadn't joined the Common Market yet, and had barely decimalised their currency.

(And five inches = approximately 12.5 centimetres.)

Oh, excuse me…I'm not metric yet.

[3cthelion.livejournal.com]

except that the ad says two inches which is about five cm, so you were right to begin with!

[neuralclone.livejournal.com]

Oops - sorry! Though you must admit, 5 inches is more impressive than 2!

[3cthelion.livejournal.com]

definitely! though from the looks of that lady, she'd have to donate a couple organs to lose 5 inches. =)

[neuralclone.livejournal.com]

Of course we don't know what she looked like originally. Maybe that big hole in her jump suit was originally intended to accomodate her belly bulge!

[misstia]

and nowadays that lady would be photoshopped to an incredibly impossibly small waist.....

Sorry to tell that poor girl that someone cut big holes in her outfit. Hasn't she noticed yet...?

It looks like a bondage outfit. Or some seriously misguided Spanx.
