I wanna own an iron-on transfer t-shirt stand. Who is in?

Sometime in the mid 70’s the iron-on transfer was invented, and it opened up a whole new world in ‘fashion’ tees. I remember seeing small stands in the middle of our mall, that had binders of iron designs to choose from. You picked your awesome iron-on, picked your shirt color and size and voila you [...]

AdTalk: So you talk into his bottom?

If you had one of these phones raise your hand. Okay now put it down quickly and hope that no one saw you admit that. What is that? You are saying you STILL have this phone? I don’t even know you anymore.

{AdTalk} I blame this ad for America’s weight problem. Okay not really. But I do blame it for the over use of Mascara in the 70s.

It has been a while since we have heard from the genius advertising creatives Bob & Mike. You might recall them from this ad or this one. Let’s listen in to this brainstorm conversation for their new client, The Sugar Council from 1971….. Bob: This damn diet craze is killing us Mike! Mike: I know, [...]

I am so on the ball these days.

So I have been trying that sit-on-a-ball-instead-of-a-chair thing in my office*. I have been meaning to do this for years, to help offset the Blogger Butt effect. Which is similar to the Freshman Fifteen only chattier. So last night I ran up to the sporting goods store and picked me up a giant ball. And [...]

Being your wife is a mild form of torture. Basically.

The copy says…“Making beds, getting meals, acting as family chauffeur — having to do the same dull, tiresome work day after day — is a mild form of torture. These boring yet necessary tasks can bring on nervous tension, fatigue and what is now known as "housewife headache."’ Actually I don’t think it is boredom [...]

AdTalk: White Owl Miniatures

images65whiteowl

Help me out here, I am confused; If she was a man she would smoke White Owl. And well she is not only smoking one, but she is even wearing one…. so does that mean this is a man? If so- he is HAWT. Just sayin. Oh and if the styling looks a little familiar- [...]

AdTalk: The chick in back went with overly excited instead of sultry.

Cuz every woman loves to lick an ashtray. Oh lord. The copy on this thing is classic “take a puff. blow in her ear. And she’ll follow you anywhere”. Um, not exactly Mr. Copywriter. If some a$$hole guy blows cigarette smoke in a woman’s ear EVEN in the screwed up wacked out 70’s…she would likely [...]

AdTalk: That’s fun.

I am wondering just how completely mortified and damaged Billy and Cindy were to have to walk out from their dressing rooms in UNDERWEAR and stand this awkwardly close together to be photographed. And I am also wondering WHERE can I GET me SOME OF THESE? How killer would it be to rock a full [...]

So many men in bad suits, and so little time. I am sure some art director somewhere was saying things like “We will just SPLASH the paint over the backdrop! It will be DYNAMIC. And YOUNG and FRESH!” while using hand movements and smiling convincingly. Then the budget guy with the bow tie would give [...]

Bruno Mars is Sammy Davis Jr’s love child*

image

It seems so obvious to me. The first time I saw Bruno, and heard about his obsession with music from the 40s, 50s and 60s….clearly he was channeling his father**. And then when I saw him perform recently on the Grammy’s.  It became pretty obvious he is really Sammy Davis Jr. JUNIOR.***  Don’t you see [...]
