Freaky Friday - Vintage Ads Part 2

Following on from Part 1 a few weeks back, I give you a fresh selection of ads 
that had me leaning into the computer screen thinking - "Man, that can't be right!"


Could be handy with the festive season fast approaching.



This dude would be kicked out of bed long before he slipped those ear muffs on.



 Huh?



 Two ads in one. Don't cut off your corns!
(I want a monkey. Does he have a little top on???)




The Turtlesuit - sexy just got a new name.



Happy Friday!!

  1. Oh I want a darling pet monkey! And a pair of those "giant fuzzy doughnuts with a bite missing" come Hear Muffs! Seriously?! What did they pay the advertising guy (probably Mr Turtle) to come up with that?

    p.s. I think the dude in bed is quite fetching myself - in a Welcome Back Kotter kind-of way)

  3. It may take several months for me to get the word "turtlesuit" (and the logical progression of thoughts that follow) out of my head. Years, even. I'll just try to think of Hear Muffs instead.

    And that dimple machine..Did no one tell Isabella that it also left marks on her chin and cheekbones that made her look like she'd had a face transplant? And wouldn't people notice that you came to the party with dimples and left without them, or would you hide a little hand mirror in your pocket and make a hasty exit when they started to fade? I think about these deeply serious issues, you know. :)

    1. The Turtlesuit is just vile isn't it Dana? With it's high neck and snap crotch (the ads words...)
      Poor Isabella - desperately seeking dimples. She looks like she is in agonising pain in that advertising photo! xx

  4. Some things just can't be unseen...

    I don't understand why we can't still have mail order monkeys!

    1. Lol - I'm with you on the pet monkey! It was OK for Michael Jackson to have Bubbles, and Steve Tyler a Sloth.....Maybe we should just send our money orders to the Animal Farm in Florida and try our luck. ; )
