Sexism in advertising. Times certainly have changed.

I love all the ads that used Maxfield Parrish art work. A lot of his stuff was pre-golden era but still fantastic. He also did a lot of magazine covers.

Aero Compax - will I ever be able to afford one, sigh....

Vivadou's Mavis ads from the 20s are among my favorites for the beautiful artwork. These three are from 1921, 1922, and 1923.

I hope you won´t mind that this one isn´t from the golden era, but it´s related. And funny!

I love these, especially the coca cola and Mavis art. Wow. Too bad there isn't a demand for traditional artists like there used to be, I might have a job! Anyway, here's one you don't see a lot of, a Santa promoting cigarettes! I don't smoke, I just thought the idea was peculiar.From Saturday Evening Post Dec 1941

I love her clothing and shoes in this, forget the flatware!

I don't understand why the model looks like she's just noticed the zombies approaching...

Perhaps it's only these deathly grey-green ladies...

Or this woman with madness in her eyes...
