Woman's Home Companion -1956- Attack of the 50 ft. Woman!
I'm not really sure what the message here is...why is the giant scary woman standing there looking at the trio of Stepford wives who are swinging on a tray? I am confused.
I've stared at this for several minutes now and can come up with no explanation. Why, ad-men of the 1950s? Why?? Was it all those three martini lunches?

ReplyDeleteI think you're on to something...and of course there were no ad-women to tell them they were being silly.
ReplyDeleteAnd who's holding the tray?
Yeah, that is just bizarro! Too funny. Can you picture the meeting where the ad man pitched that to the boss?
