How Times Have Changed - Is there a tiger or a girl in the house?


Now, I know how you all secretly love these vintage ads, and I definitely like to keep you entertained, but today's advertisement from the 1970's sort of floors you!  For those of you who find the small print difficult, I have copied the words to below the image. 


Doll to Doll carpeting indeed!  

(Looking forward to your comments as always!) 




"Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn't have to fire a shot to floor her.  After one look at Mr.Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her.  That noble styling sure soothes the savage heart!  If you'd like your own doll to doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of these he man Mr Leggs slacks....."

    Wow us women sure have evolved ....good or bad I'm not sure, like to be empowered but like to be treated like a lady and on occasions would be great to be treated like a princess!

    Thank God we've moved on a bit! Not totally, but a bit. We still have 'Mum's gone to Iceland' and rubbish like that, and we have padded bra's for 8 year olds. But that advert belongs in the dark ages!

    Wow! Did we really have ads like that and more importantly, did they really encourage us to buy the products? And on another note, I wonder is that Simon Cowell...?

    Louise,

    Sorry it took me so long to make it over here. I love it. It's amazing that an ad for doll-to-doll carpet could have been so widely published so few years ago. It makes me realize how far we've come in a relatively short period of time.
