To an extent nostalgia conjures up warm, safe feelings. A callback to a simpler time, when the world was less rushed and less educated...
In my search for vintage ads, I recently found this little nugget for a men's slack company. Take a deep breath before looking at the ad. I had to look twice, no make it three times. Maybe those 3 martini lunches on Madison Avenue were not the glamourous nostalgic scenes portrayed in MAD MEN, AMC
Copy: "Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn't have to fire a shot to floor her After one look at his Mr. Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her. That noble styling sure soothes the savage heart! If you'd like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of these he-man Mr. Leggs slacks. Such as our new automatic wash wear blend of 65% dacron and 35% rayon- unompararably wrinkle resistent. About $12.93 at plush carpeted stores."
I need to take a break. Will continue this in a few. Meanwhile feel free to leave your comments!
