You might not be old enough to remember this, but back in the day, even before the Golden Age Of Album Art, this was one of the ways you showed off your record collection and musical taste. Do that with your MP3s, yo.

Sexist ad on the back cover of Ranch Romances & Adventures (May, 1971) which clearly states that men who are trained in accounting are being moved up the ladder to important management positions. Way to go, LaSalle. Did the coursework include how to belittle the female accountants and ways to chase the secretary around the office?

So warns this risque vintage postcard (via A Slip Of A Girl). I’m guessing that artist Tony Roy expected lady’s underpants to be worn as hats at some point in the evening… Which only further drives home the point about imbibing too much. So here’s to a happy & safe New Year’s Eve, for you, your panties and your hats.
PS I love that the “i” is upside down in “liquor.”
Photo in My Baby, May 1962. Enuff said, Fred.

Without looking for clues in Google I can tell you that this picture was taken circa 1970 in Mexico when a Costa Rican movie producer visited to negotiate the production of a movie with “El Santo” mexican wrestler.
The clipping is from a mexican newspaper called Excelsior (I can tell from the typography).
Another bit from Caricature, circa 1915. This bit about a dirty-faced train engineer in Tickville is credited to George Bingham.
Her sucker says, “I Ate The Whole Thing!” but what really gives the photo its zing is the fact that this pinup poses on a Mattel Big Wheel.

My parents are coming to visit for a few days, and I’m super excited to see their reaction to my retro chalk toilet seat:
