Interesting that Axe uses basically the same method of advertising. That you have to fight off the women if you use it. Also, used Jade East.

Sharinia said, "Grace, I had a doll house that looked very similar (but wooden), but never really got how to play with it (or with dolls in general, for that matter ). were you supposed to just keep rearranging the furniture? " My love of floor plans, interior design and decor, and architecture stemmed from moving that furniture around that metal house. Later my dad, a building contractor, doubled the size and made me a huge wooden one to play with. Some of my favorite toys as a child were homemade in my dad's wood shop. The scrap wood barrel was like having a candy store of building supplies! The sailboats (for playing in puddles) were at the top of my toy list. Darrellh, my first live concert was to hear Herman's Hermits! When I was young I had a twirling ballerina musical jewel box similar to this one. Then my high school marine boyfriend sent me this musical jewel box with a hidden compartment.
This is the jewel "casket" with beveled glass I bought for myself.

There was also the Playtex Cross Your Heart, which lifts and separates and the garter belt to hold the nylon seamed stockings up.

I loved the ice cream truck. Real ice cream too, soft serve cones, sundaes, shakes malts. Our ice creams trucks were called Mister Softee. We also had a snow cone truck.
Once a week in the summer I woke up to a farmer coming down the street with a produce wagon pulled by his horse, that wore a straw hat. He would singsong, Produce, get your fresh produce. Sometimes he would substitute the word produce with strawberries or tomatoes. I remember garage bands. I remember the teenage girls getting together and either ironing each others hair on the ironing board with the iron or using empty frozen concentrated orange juice cans to curl their hair. I also remember females going to the grocery store in curlers...if they had a scarf over them. The Paul McCartney Death Rumor. Bathing caps.
Somebody earlier said something about using your feet for brakes when riding your bike. I can't tell you how many pairs of Keds I ended up with holes in the toes from dragging my feet to stop the bike. We really had penny candy and more times then not it was located in the local corner bar. I remember when the ICEE machines first came out. Getting a dime from mom so we could stop on the way home from school to buy one, that was a huge deal to us. Oh and we walked to and from school.

I remember trying to get all my long hair into a bathing cap. It was ridiculous! We had a wonderful ice cream lady named Wanda. She had the best ice cream truck. You could get soft cones, any kind of ice cream bar imaginable (I loved Buried Treasures) and candy. It was a nice clean truck unlike the ones I see driving around today.

My dad was an Aqua Velva man! One guy who wanted to date me started wearing it, when he overheard me saying that it reminded me of my dad and made me very sentimental, etc etc. And yes, it worked, and this guy became my 5 year 'mistake'. Oh well.

Mamie, so did mine. I remember seeing an interview with McLean Stevenson where he said he wore Old Spice and "smelled like every woman's father."

LOL That's probably true of the time. I remember when my dad would leave the bathroom after taking a long bath. It would smell of Old Spice, soap and cigarettes. A weird combination, I know, but one that was very comforting to me. Sometimes I can still smell it around me.

Thanks Grace Come to think of it, I think I can remember being excited to move the furniture around at first, but then felt 'stuck' and just couldn't think of any other appealing arrangements. If I had a bigger 'house' it certainly would have helped the playtex 'cross your heart' bra is a classic! playtex cross your heart bra commercial then there was the 18 hour bra .... playtex 18 hour bra commercial anyone ever find out what happens after 18 hours
