Hi Julia, I’m loving this ad, is it possible I can use it for my new website, lovefoodies.com? I’ve got a great spot on the site where it would go nicely 🙂 Please let me know if it’s ok,
thanks,
maz
Help yourself Mary!
Thanks very much Julia. i also asked Lynda earlier as I first saw it there…and then traced it back to you! Blimey, it’s certainly going round the houses! I’ve placed it on my site now (still building the site), so you can take a look if you like 🙂

Pleasure!

Made me smile – this year I told my husband (who hates to shop) that I had bought him my birthday present … he paused, looked at me quizzically, smiled and thanked me. Keeps things running smoothly.
It might not be so blantant, but I think this sort of advertising is just the same today. Just better disguised.
That definitely is a 50’s vintage ad!
I am a 50’s vintage woman myself (went to college in the 50’s). The things we thought were “normal” and right!
I’m happy about what’s happened in the Western world. But when I see those societies which haven’t budged since then — what am I saying? Who are still back in medieval times with women as chattel and less-than people — I get very afraid.
Hubby bought me an electric can opener for my first birthday with him (a million years ago). I cried all day & all night. He never did it again.
i’m a little less subtle. I took him to the shop to buy my hand held blender. Oh how my life rocks! Hope you’re well xxxx
Looks like something from the 50’s. People who were not yet alive then really cannot imagine the racism and sexism of the time. I’m not talking about violence or anything overtly virulent [though there was that, too, of course.] It was something far more casual and insidious. “A woman’s place is in the home” was a common expression, and it was meant with absolute seriousness.
Yep – times have changed

Ooooh! I want that stand mixer!!! 😉
(my Oster Kitchen Center finally gave up the ghost after 28 years)
PS: May I borrow your add? It has me thinking…
Help yourself! Put a link back here so I can see it!
I wasn’t sure if you just wanted the pingback or if you wanted an actual link. You get both, and thank you, Julia!

Argh! Erase that link and use this one…
http://pixilatedtoo.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/wednesdays-words-sexist-games/ Sorry! 😳
they are not exactly personal prezzies for the good lady are they though, times how they have changed…;)
Sadly, there are some occasions when I have asked for household items as gifts. When money is tight and you are older – it can solve a couple of problems!
