Candy corn is the lowest form of candy. Not sure it even counts as a candy. In any case, covering your nails in artificial candy corn pieces is not only redundant, but quite possibly it will keep you from nibbling at your nails.

Modern Woman Monday: About Those Smiles…
The November 1964 cover of ‘Teen is covered in America’s Smile Queen contestants. Can you guess the winner? Nope, me neither. But I am intrigued…
I also want to know more about Why Boys Lose Interest In Girls. We may never know — unless we can get a copy of the vintage magazine to read. Is it due to poor smiles? Or do they mean this is a more significant way, as in the loss of interest in girls combined with the increase of interest in boys?

Modern Woman Monday: The Airplane Exercise
A purely gratuitous photo of three women doing the airplane exercise pose in. Just too classic to ignore.
(Found in 1962′s Royal Canadian Air Force Exercise Plans for Physical Fitness; more images there.)

Invader Zim On My Fingers, Goldfish On My Toes, I Shall Amaze Wherever I Goes
I am amazed by Jihye Lee Art.
The Invader Zim fingernails I get…
Not so sure about Japanese Goldfish Toenails — fake toenails in general seems a bit odd. But then I don’t like toe rings. Or flip-flops, for that matter.

Modern Woman Monday: Beauty Is My Business
That must be why “charming cover girl” Pat Curran is hunching to appear shorter than her (insecure & hatted) male companion in this vintage ad for SweetHeart Soap (which also promotes a “SweetHeart Cover-Girl Facial”).
Ad from 1952.
