Follies of the Mad Men #41
"Let's take a screeching unfunny harridan, dress her in Colonial drag, then simulate a hideous war wound using our product as a makeshift sling. Then, let's run the ad in a magazine filled with beautiful naked women for contrast."

Spring Heel Shoe
The verdict is still out, however, on whether wearing them will turn you into the mythic monster known as Spring-heeled Jack.

Men’s Pantyhose
e-MANcipate describes itself as "a project to accelerate the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item."Why should guys wear pantyhose? "To improve athletic performance, energize and revitalize tired, aching leg muscles, and to stimulate circulation if they sit all day."
But what if you're shy and embarrassed about wearing pantyhose? "you can always show that you are wearing support pantyhose, and just give some reasons - your legs were tired or problematic in other ways. This is especially accepted if you need to stand or sit all day long, and for sports using your legs."
It all sounds quite reasonable to me.

The laughter would be heard from one end of the motel to the other!More in extended >>

They've obviously invested much thought in the matter, as you can see from this schematic of the problem. But useful and practical as such shirts may be, there's simply no excuse for Plumber's Butt Playing Cards.More in extended >>

Aristocrats of Fashion
Do you have enough Bemberg rayon clothes in your wardrobe? If not, watch this!(But be warned! Only a partial video remains to us down the ages. You'll never get to see the implied all-rayon wedding.)
