Smoochers from Boots Seventeen. Scanned from Petticoat, November 1974.
Mad orange lipstick packaging, names like Smoochers and Sugar Daddy, men in puffy sleeved shirts….make-up advertising just ain’t what it used to be!

Happy Birthday Rod! Scanned from Girl About Town, October 1973. A free jobs listings magazine for women, I cannot take the credit for the ‘score’ – it was given to me by Mr Brownwindsor this Christmas! Ah, how scarily well he knows my bizarre reading habits…
I’m happy to find that its former owner was no fan of Rod the Mod and left the pin-up in tact. I will certainly be sharing some of the brilliant job listings in further posts.
All the support you need

As is now my tradition, for I really rather loathe the whole New Year ‘thing’ with a passion, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Lear with a mini-picture spam of new Amanda pictures I’ve seen this year. Several have been pilfered from the fabulous Mr Tarkus. Merci!

Leaf design bra (£2.75) and pants (90p) by Triumph
Underwear need not just be functional, it can be beautiful too. So with fashion becoming ladylike on top, perhaps it’s time to show some style and imagination on what you wear underneath.

I want it all.

Vintage Adverts: Chelsea Girl’s word is her bonded Orlon

From December 1970. I love me some Chelsea Girl, and this advert is just perfection with the colours, the styling, the design… it even makes me half-fancy a white wig! I think I’ll leave it at the half-fancying stage though…
Thank God for the Seventies…

…for providing me with the only Christmas songs I can deal with, aside from certain carols. I can’t even take the Nutcracker suite due to extreme over-familiarity. So the only ones I can really bear are from the Seventies. I’m not anti-Christmas, I am merely anti-schmaltz.
Plus bonus Legs and Co Christmas routine to ‘Funky Town’. I would like a fairy dressed like them on top of my Christmas tree, as would, I suspect, most men…

Incredible clothes by Sally Tuffin, incredible photographs by Mr James Wedge; appealing to my interest in all things clown-ish. I love this photoshoot, even more because I have the blue cape on the picture above. Sadly, the pleats have somewhat fallen out (perhaps someone washed it?) and I have no idea how to put them back in again. Bums. Any advice welcomed…
