i like that they used a photo of a woman who is AVERAGE-pretty, rather than one who is over-the-top gorgeous for the ad.
it makes Betty Sue Normal think that this could be an option for *her*, since this other average woman uses tampax and wow, dainty applicator! *snickering*
lets just "internalize" all that monthly messiness, right?
Looking at old posters of people like Betty Grable, I think she may have been considered quite the beauty back then. Tastes have changed a lot since WWII.
she was also considered "attainable" in her beauty, you know? had that bit of *earthiness* about her that wasn't there in someone like...oh, someone like mary astor or mary pickford, you know?
