the rain picture.

you haven't seen this one before?

haha, it's one of the most popular and watched videos on youtube.

yeah I've never seen that either don't feel bad! I've heard people say "What what in the butt" before...never knew what it was til now!

Aw man, I love this video! :D You should be happy your internet explorations are finally being completed. :)

:O

*needs eye bleach*

Oh how did they not send this to Eurovision already! :)

Why does this make me think of Captain Planet and the Planeteers? Oh wait, one's missing! Where's Heart?

Heart was a pussy, so he's never included anywhere--WHAT, WHO SAID THAT??

I'd really NOT like to smell like "WIND".

Agreed: glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Isn't "Air" the word they should be using anyway?

It may be that the euphemism of 'wind' is not common in the USA...

The guy in the first picture with the mustache, that's Rob Reiner!

I don't think so - he was a Reiner was a big TV star then, he wouldn't have done modeling work like that...

It's just a very common look for the time... I definitely see the similarity - the two men resemble one another for sure, but Reiner's eyes and nose were a little different.

I love the guy's face expression in Earth. :P
Priceless.

"What kind of woman are you, anyway?"
Sounds like my parents arguing.

OMG---I had the Wond and the Rain ones. I loved them...and not long ago, there was a Christmas gift set with Love's Baby SOft, Love;s Fresh Lemon and Rain...I bought it just so I could have the Rain scent and all these years later it still smelled really good to me.

I wish I could have the whole set!

Love's perfumes reacted on my skin -- especially the Lemon one. They smelled atrocious, as if I'd been perfumed with mildew.

They were so much the rage I felt so left-out that I could not wear them!

THIS. My sister and i loved Love's Baby Soft, but if we actually wore it, we smelled like spoiled milk. We ended up just spritzing a little on our shirts so we could still enjoy it.

You too?? I could wear Fresh Lemon or Fire. Baby Soft smelled nice on some of my friends but smelled like baby puke on me!

I would love to smell like rain but lolz at this advert. The dudes at the top really give of sketch vibes.

So that's where Love's Rain scent comes from! I used to love that stuff, back when I was a poor college student who could only afford drugstore perfume and scented oil bought from street vendors ($3 a vial!)I wonder if they still sell it.

You know, I think from this promotion RAIN was probably the only scent that was a hit... because I only remember Rain, Babysoft, and Fresh Lemon... I never saw this original set of 4.

Do you remember their crazy phallic packaging?

EDIT: sorry my bad - these were LATER... they started with Rain and apparently expanded the line (I just realized via date)

OOOH. So THIS is where one of my favorite people online, lovesrainscent, got her name.

I think the ad is really pretty. I just don't like the expressions on the faces of two of the men. Deer in headlights.

It was the 70s. Everyone was stoned.

They'd been struck speechless by the overwhelming sexiness of Love's elemental scents!
