'Carnival' shoes advert from the Co-op. Scanned from Vogue, April 1972.
I will definitely be attempting to recreate that make-up at some point in the future, how incredible!
Scanned from Nova, November 1973
Never mind him, *I* want one! Plus, I want to see what other products the ‘Good-Time Co.’ of Garrick Street stocked as well …
“Hello? Good-Time Company, how can I help you?”
Thea Porter advert from Ritz Magazine, Number 14, 1978. Scanned by Miss Peelpants.
Scanned from Vanity Fair, July 1971.
A perfect demonstration of why you need to think very carefully when choosing a typeface for your logo… Or maybe it’s just me and my amazing ability to mis-read things?
Janice Wainwright for Golden Charm. Advert scanned from Vogue, April 1969.
Excitement abounds! My new lingerie and loungewear section of the website is taking shape behind the scenes and I am particularly excited about an upcoming Janice Wainwright for Golden Charm ensemble, not entirely dissimilar to this one.
I’m more into lounging in loungewear around the house than in a restaurant, but I suppose one only knows what one knows. The fact is that in 1969, people were so well-dressed when they went to dinner that you could be truly outrageous by wearing your pyjamas. In an age when nobody gets dressed for anything, well that is when you need to shock by wearing your finest frocks.

Zodiac Klonk, 1970.
Another selection box of those wonderfully illustrated black and white adverts in the back of Petticoat magazine. Nineteen shillings for a polished teak Zodiac ‘Klonk’? Bargain… Also good to know you could ‘improve’ yourself by learning key punching.
Girls Can Earn, 1970.
Tan Appeal, 1969.
I don’t know about tan appeal giving her man appeal, but she appears to have squirted some into her eye.
Capricorn, 1970.
The Lacy Look, 1969.
Spotlight boutique, 1969.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a ‘Random Ossies in Adverts’ post, so it was high time I found another one. Bottom left, definitely one of my holy grail pieces.
