Sidestepping Life's Pitfalls
All you need to do is smoke the right brand and save money on haircuts with those thrifty newfangled 1940s gadgets.
Larry Ferrari & His Two-Tiered Organ
He looks like a good time guy, doesn't he? A 1950s promotional postcard for entertainer and recording artist Larry Ferrari. Another recent flea market find.
1948: Picture Discs With A Purpose
Two of a series of 1948 7-inch picture disc records given to me by a friend. They extol the virtues of cleanliness and circumnavigating those pesky oral fixations.
MURDER!
Two illustrated 1940s Black Flag ads that make insecticide look terribly empowering and glamorous.
Colorful moments in the beaches and backyards of the 1960sI Was Curious. I Tasted It.
Everytime I happened upon another one of the ten ads shown here, I couldn't get over the complete and utter campiness. It seems that in the world of 1940s & 50s advertising, male bonding (to the level of queerness) sold beer!
Teardrop Travel Trailer
The savvy pleasure seeker travels with a teardrop trailer. Sunday picnics? Not a problem! Thank goodness for the 1960s and their modern conveniences.
It's THAT Kinda Party
Bouffant hairdos, campy styles, 1960s fashions, a swimming pool and a cocktail or two... or three... or four.
8 Track: Peter, Sonny, Cher & Lawrence
There is nothing like the warbling sonic experience of an album broken up into four programs with that resonating "click" every two or three songs. Discs and MP3s be damned!
The Sweet Life, Illustrated
1940s and 50s photo illustrations and traditional illustrations of The American Dream in its many-fold manifestations.
