I love vintage ads. They show us that our preoccupation with appearance is not a modern obsession. They also show us that advertising products by appealing to our fears has been around a long time. Have you ever bought an item based on this kind of advertising? I know I have.

Love vintage EVERYTHING. I follow this YouTuber called the Glambassador (this lovely Pisces who just has great 40s style) and I’m sending you a link to her channel b/c I love her makeup tutorial (I think she has only done one) but she’s super practical about makeup and she’s a trained makeup artist and esthetician so I trust her advice. Also, I just think she seems like a nice, grounded, down-to-earth person. I dye my own hair with $5 dye I buy online and just got my first haircut a week ago in over a year. I do my makeup in 5 minutes so I don’t pay attention to anyone who suggests tons of stuff when it comes to getting ready. I just want to feel good enough about myself to go out and not feel ashamed of how I look. I love classic hair and clothes b/c I don’t like shopping and buying new things and it never goes out of style.
This is her talking about how to do a wet set for your hair but I just let my hair air dry and do nothing with it. She just sort of reminds me of a cool grandma w/ her vintage style and I think she’s hella charming.
