1950s print ads - a life led chic!


Plan 59 - the museum (and gift shop) of mid-century illustration.

I love the images on this site, they are wonderful. I have always liked 1950s advertising, it's so cheesy, so staged, so chic.

I utterly detest doing laundry. To make matters worse, I avoid it until the pile of dirty clothes is a mountain of misery.

However, if I wore a chic outfit and had a powder blue washing machine that I could pose in front of: like so, and like so; perhaps I would be more amenable to the task.

Then again, if that were the case, I would suddenly find frozen food and spam utterly delicious. What a horrible thought!
