Blow in her face and she’ll follow you anywhere

Some tasteful ads that have dated well.

This first is my favourite:

Vintage ad - Schlitz

I think this next one has something to do with her not knowing how to use the postage meter:

Vintage ad - Is it always illegal to kill a woman?

Wow:

Vintage ad - French sweaters

Also:

Vintage ad - Cellophane

Two birds, one stone:

Vintage ad - Tipalet cigarettes

And the piece de resistance:

Vintage ad - Sexy innocence

Raises the question of what we’re accustomed to now that won’t seem so normal in another 50 years’ time. Meat ads? Oil and gas? Depictions of men as lazy fat shallow stupid slobs?
