Vintage Sextist Ads

So awesome how the use of certain products can change your life and make you so amazing! Even toilet soap. This one reminds me of a lame joke way back when I was a little kid. Are you ready?

What did the red soap say to the green soap? May I kiss your palm, Olive?

And what did the green soap say to the red soap? Not on your life, Bouy!

For you younguns out there, Palmolive was green and Lifebouy (a deodorant soap) was red. Couldn't resist!

How all ladies dress when they are in the food preparing mode! Or maybe she is a guest in the fellow's home! Anyway, enjoy these ads of yore. (Click to enlarge)

These made me laugh, especially the 2nd one. :) Hope you're having a great week.

That's Mel Cooley (actor Richard Deacon) from the Dick Van Dyke show in the second ad. What a bizarre ad! And the ad copy is so stupidly suggestive. They seriously thought this would appeal to women needing a new oven?

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
