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.

It’s Craft Scan Friday, So Don’t Blow It

Pattern from the 1969 Bernat Handicrafter Learn To Knit Book #127.
