What better way to end 2008 than to choose a new direction? That direction will be geared towards vintage ads. I'm not spinnin' the tunes at FHB anymore, and I have this wonderful space just sitting here. Let's get to it!

So here is an interesting start. From 1942 we have Bon Ami cleanser. Their little chickie mascot is cute enough, and has gone a long way towards keeping this brand around.
There is something terribly terribly wrong with this picture, though. The woman doing the cleaning is raving about how much she loves Bon Ami, and look who she's talking to. Her friend who stands idly by doing her nails while her friend toils to scrub daddy's sweat stains out of the tub. She may be openly raving about how wonderful the cleanser is, but the look on her face says it all. Once she's done, she's going to stab her friend to death with that emery board, and then clean up the mess with Bon Ami!
