Vintage Advertising - For Teens Only March 1968

Vintage Advertising - For Teens Only March 1968 - Ads

For the next however long until I forget or run out of vintage magazines, on Mondays I am going to post pictures from vintage magazines. I am REALLY creative, so I am calling it "Magazine Monday". Hey if you have a better name, let me know :)
A couple of years ago I ordered some vintage magazines off of ebay. $2.06 with free shipping is less than I pay for a new magazine at the grocery store (well once a year when I buy one anyway) so it seemed like a good deal.

One of the magazines I got was For Teens Only from March 1968. This is what it looks like.

What stands out the most to me is the way you can tell all the pictures were literally cut and pasted over the words. I don't know if you can click and see it bigger, but if you can you should :)

I am pretty sure the ads are my favorite part of the magazine. I am hoping you can click on them to see them bigger. They are just so random. No nail polish, no name brands, just weird little companies with PO Boxes wanting your money for what is probably crap!

Who markets anything having to do with spider veins to teenage girls?

Is that even safe?

Because truth in advertising is over-rated...

Any bets on how awful this looked?

You don't want to be to short (I am pretty sure that girls can just wear heels, but maybe they are supposed to but them for their boyfriends. Wow, what an ego boost!), to fat, or to skinny.

And no room is complete without Wide Eyed Dancing Kids

Come back next Monday for more awesome vintage pictures.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation. There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically. I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year. They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time. So they never really knew what to do with themselves. I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me. I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy. I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Things That Annoy Infertile Girls (or Maybe Just Me?) - Flashback Friday

This was actually one of my more popular posts when it was first published, but I still thought I would share it again. Any additions to the post are in pink, as usual :) Accidental Pregnancies - So I have been trying for years to get pregnant, you go slut around and accidentally get pregnant? Immediate Pregnancies - You quit taking your birth control last month and now you are pregnant? People Who Give You Retarded Advice - - Just stop trying and you will get pregnant - My friend adopted a baby and got pregnant right away, you should do that - Get drunk, people always get pregnant when they are drunk (Yes, they do. Because they are intoxicated and forget to take precautions.) Whiny Girls That Pretend They Are Infertile - Trying for 5 months is not suffering from infertility. It takes a year on average to get pregnant. I get that it might FEEL like infertility but it just isn't. After YEARS of trying, I can't even rememb

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children. This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children. Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
