THE GUEST NO ONE INVITES AGAIN IS:* A LAZY DAISY
* A LEM-ME GIRL
* A PLAIN JANE
THAT CAMERA she's toting on a tippy-canoe ride: It's expensive; it belongs to her hostess. Like the swim suit she's wearing -- and the tennis racket she'll use later. Don't be a lem-me girl ("lend me" this or that). When visiting, bring your own sports props; why inconvenience your friends -- or risk being dubbed a vandal? Dodge calendar-time risks, too. You get safety you trust with Kotex, for this extra absorbent napkin gives protection that doesn't fail! -- From an ad in Movie Life magazine, 1954.
My favorite aspect about these particular posts is that you never see the Kotex angle coming...although I suppose I will if you do enough of them.
ReplyDeleteI think the sanitary napkins ads were always masterpieces of creative denial. Don't get me started on the "Modess, because..." campaign.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! My chuckle for the morning. ;)
