Vintage Ads

As always, I will post a reminder the day before the event/s

16 Tuesday ONE DAY EVENT: Window treatments. Ads for/depicting curtains/drapes/window blinds/etc

19-21 Friday - Sunday Weekend EventS: Still in Business and Vices. Companies that are STILL in business, ie: Coca Cola; Sherman Williams; etc. AND Vices, ads for anything that depicts a 'vice'. Vices will be guest hosted by bart_calendar. Anything the morality police would consider wicked.

This one is from 1983 and I bought a used one circa 1989 for $200, the whole sale including a humongous daisy wheel printer and tape recorder and cassettes. The monitor had amber text. The goal was to be a work-at-home mom notereader-scopist, like that ever happened. *copious eye roll*

Remember WebTV™, kiddies?

*diaphoresis = sweating like a pig
*steatopygic = 'baby got back', more specifically like that goddess statue.
