Vintage Advertisement - political correctness not really given

[connoisseurs]

I assume these are fakes but they would really fit in a advice booklet for a happier household

First clearly fake. Second looks authentic to me?

I agree on the first one, but I'm skeptical about the second. I did a Google image search and I found that image on several sites that feature politically incorrect ads. However, none of these were from any sort of "official" source, just people posting things and many of them included "ads" that were obvious fakes. My gut says it's a fake because none of the images I found included anything other than that picture and text; no manufacturer name or other info and, maybe most telling, all the images are the same quality and size. I think this is a fake that keeps getting reposted over and over again.

Anyway, it's not a total loss. I found some that are not fake (sorry for any duplicates):

Awww! I'd been saving #4 for next Christmas!

Now for one of the real sexy foundation ads!

We had one very much like that when I was little

here's a selection from me - #6, really!

Way, way back I owned that model Hoover. It always gave me food for thought because you shoved the cleaning tools up its arse, so to speak (a slot below its tail-like handle)--------yeah, I know, what's the old sod rambling on about now?

I recall, many of these Hoover models were fitted with a headlight, for cleaning during dark winter days, I guess.

Many homes weren't well lit and that helped seeing what was in corners. I remember finding it helpful when I vacuumed for my mother.

It could be useful indeed in badly lit rooms, dark places like corners and on dark days. Otherwise, the light was too weak anyway, to my opinion, as I recall when I vacuumed for my mother (hey, watch out, we are getting politically correct!)

We didn't have a light, but we probably didn't need it!

Apologies, these aren't vintage ads but some of them are certainly a bit non PC.
#4 - Burger Urge is a Brisbane based burger chain which we encountered on a trip last year, there was one round the corner from our hotel and every time we passed it my wife commented on how improper the name sounded
#7 and #8, looks like a good vintage, I'll have a taste thanks

 

[Praefectus Praetorio]

Vintage -yes, incorrect - maybe, strange -certainly

 

[Naraku]

Maidenform's "I dreamed I..." ad campaign ran for several years. It was bit strange though maybe not incorrect. these women did dream up strange things to do in a bra. Or, should I say the men who worked for the ad agency.

That last on is a reference to a classic imaged used by the White Rock mineral water company beginning in the 1890s.

The ad was pretty "incorrect" by the standards of the time for displaying bare breasts.

 

[Apostate]

Mad ran its inevitable parody in 1962–

"I dreamed I was arrested for indecent exposure in my Maidenform bra."

 

[Apostate]

Only the first one below is from Mad. Those Maidenform ad parodies wrote themselves.

Hmm, #7 is making pretty free use of this masterpiece of medieval tapestry (and what about the unicorn symbolism?)


She appreciates a good knob


I think we're in Barb territory here


If Morris Oxford is the answer, what was the question?


Um


Phew!


As the President would say - fake bewbs


"broomsticks", is that what we are calling them?


reverse sexism?

 

[Apostate]

Phew!

Interesting. In American print ads for that period see-thru gauzy nighties were not permitted, and still aren’t. I think.

Doubtless Kubrick drew on this one for an early gang rape scene from "A Clockwork Orange."

Does that look totally consensual? Woke alert!

It could have been only in venues like Playboy. They allowed that!

I feel hesitant to follow such great posts. But The strange world of "College Girl" collectibles:

Seems like some my Wilbur would collect (see Taken thread)

Connoisseurs, this one finally caught my eye, not so much for the lady’s circa 1960 ass, but somehow American actor Cliff Robertson was included in the picture, about the time he played JFK in "PT 109."

There is a color photo of Kennedy standing next to Monroe in her infamous "nude birthday dress," which I’d include if I could find it.
