Of all potential purposes for a saw, I’m surprised they took the “make a life sized fake woman” angle for this ad.

In the many idealizations of beauty I’ve seen from every era, I believe this is the only one that involves having a giant pastry head. When will the media stop setting unrealistic standards?

Victorian photo manipulations…take THAT, Photoshop!

I’ve heard the term “putting on one’s face” but…

I relate to you, 70’s Textbook Girl.

Keep up with science? Don’t mind if I do!

I quite enjoy this Capybara illustration. It’s got AT-TI-TUDE! Wish I knew which artist to credit…

Oh hi, little fella…love your curlicue nostrils.

I refuse to believe that isn’t a real ad because it is entirely valid medical treatment.

And while we’re on the subject of cats, I’ve seen this scratch pad in a few different places and it fills me with extreme joy every time. I will one day hand make this for cats in my life.

That Sno-balls ad has it all wrong. If I want to see my hostess’ sno-balls, I ain’t looking at her head!!
Haha…perfect pun, Spider!
Nice job 60’s ad men! “Well stacked Sno-Balls” indeed!
Yes, I can just picture her. “Hey boys…my eyes are up he-…oh…wait.”
Hi Dana,
I’m still an avid reader of your blog but haven’t posted lately. Happy Thanksgiving!
Here’s an SF related alternate ending to one of my favorite movies

Haha…thanks for your continued support, Randall. I’m a fan of your stuff as well! Love the deleted scene. ๐
I love that satanic mop! And that cut out woman really does say you can use the result as a “gift”. I don’t know if the word “gift” was some kind of slang or if they reckon it’d be a really rubbish gift.
Oh, who couldn’t use a life sized cut out woman in a bikini? Every household should have at least a few standing around. ๐
