You've come a long way baby...

[susie_flo]

Here's a little something for you ladies out there who yearn to be tamed...

By a hairy chested man with sideburns...
 
Preferably wearing a polo neck jumper or a brown suit...  

You know you want it.
 
And as for you men, lets just say you can thank me later when you're "surrounded by the lushness of her interior appointments"

"...a man who grabs life by the cuff". By the CUFF? HUH?

So, Sue, you're a spirited woman. How would you react if a man said to you in seductive tones "I want to surround myself with the lushness of your interior appointments"?

I have a book full of sexist adverts from the 50s-70s. One with women on a catwalk wearing undies with an arab sheikh looking on, and the tagline was something like "underwear good enough to be sold in". And that was one of the minor ones.

If a chap tried that line on me I think I might find myself very afraid indeed. It sounds s bit serial killerish...

I want that book! The underwear ad is a double whammy... (racist AND sexist in one hit!)

While on the topic of priceless vintage ads, I was quite taken with the one on this blog earlier today... http://justcallmeruby.blogspot.com/2009/05/daintiness-counts.html (Never let your dating chances be ruined by underwear sweat!)

1) It's got a certain "it puts the lotion in the basket" vibe, certainly.

2) http://www.amazon.co.uk/You-Mean-Woman-Can-Open/dp/1853753513/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242945214&sr=8-1 , and only for 42 of your earth pence (plus P&P).

3) Not only dainty, but also saves your underwear from cake-soap rubbing. How can one resist?

Now look what you made me do... (Uncle Amazon is ever generous)

I saw some of these only yesterday!

"Society simply WON'T stand for indelicate women". That's so fab!

However, the first advert isn't sexist, surely? Unless one counts anything that advertises cosmetics as being sexist, of course.

Those made me hoot! Not sure which is my favourite, between "if your husband ever finds out..." and "Please, Dave..."
