Girls, We Have Come SO Far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    I love the artwork behind  these Fifties ads,  but can  you  believe  there actually was a time  when  folks believed could  not open a bottle of ketchup?  Yet  could endure childbirth, child  raising, and  heartache.  We have, indeed, come  a  long  way, dears.  

                                    Except in hair and fashion.  I really like  this woman's  look.  I wish I could emulate it, and had the money to get custom  made things.  Like Amy Sedaris, who manages to be both retro and  hip,  with the outfits she wears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     But this ad just cracks me up,  darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     This has to be an example  of  why Rod Serling  wrote "Patterns!!!!!!!!!!!!"
