I know the Fourth of July is already over, but I figured I'd keep the patriotic spirit going a little bit longer with this sexy and patriotic little ad for Cannon towels that I found on the interwebs. I wouldn't exactly say that it's NSFW, but it's not exactly completely SFW either. And if that's not enough to get you to make the jump, I don't know what is!

Psst! I've got a secret to tell you!
You know how sometimes you look at photos of people in the '70s and you think they kind of look like a dirty hippie? Well, these kids may not be dirty hippies, but they are kind of dirty in their own way. Oh, and don't think I mean in the sexual way. I mean dirty. Just plain dirty. Make the jump and find out why!

This couple looks set for a romantic evening at home. But what could make it perfect? A bottle of wine? A copy of The Joy Of Sex? Matching pet rocks? Oh, no. If it's the '70s, it's all about the music. But what will you use to play your new Supertramp LP? It's more important than you'd think... at least this ad would have you believe it is. Make the jump to see if you agree. Warning: Shag carpeting ahead!

Oh dear. This young woman does not look happy. Not one bit. It would seem that she's not happy with her reflection in that mirror. Getting yourself in shape for bathing suit season is always difficult. What could she do to change her mood? Make the jump to see one possible recommendation!

We were having a heat wave in NYC this weekend, so I went to the beach and was inspired to post this particular entry to celebrate the summer. This lovely young woman looks like she's having a religious experience. And I suppose for some women, worshiping the sun might actually be close to a religious experience. But when you see this ad, you might think twice about it... see what I mean after the jump!

Oh dear. See, now this looks like a nice little plate of steak with rice. Right? Well, it is. But if you make the jump, you'll see just how politically incorrect we could be back in the swinging sixties...

In honor of Memorial Day, I thought I'd do a barbecue post for Retrophilia. (Since war and the military tend not to lend themselves as well to amusing ads from the past) So in that vein, here's a lovely young woman who has prepared quite the summer picnic feast for her guests. But has she prepared well enough? Make the jump to find out!

They may be just drawings, but look how happy this couple is. Whatever could they be so gleeful about? Well, they just got a bargain! Make the jump to see what it is!

You've gotta love the sci-fi spin a lot of '70s advertising took. Take this couple, for instance. They look straight out of some awesome movie like Logan's Run or something. The problem is, there are certain things I'm not really sure should ever be sold with a science-fiction angle.
Make the jump and see if you agree...

What is this crazy contraption on this lovely young woman's head? You might be able to guess what it's doing to her, but maybe not exactly how! I've got an ad full of more electronic gadgets after the jump, as well as a very surprising revelation of my own!

The 60s were an odd time for fashion, as the conservative ways of the 50s made way for the insanity of the 70s. So sometimes you weren't sure what you were going to get. But judging by this guy's look, regardless of the clothes, nearly anybody could be a model back then. But even if you think he's not so bad, just wait until you see who's waiting after the jump! (And if you think I'm being harsh, wait 'til you see what the ad says about them!)

Yeah, I didn't recognize her until I saw her name in the credits, but that brassy-looking broad on the right there is Noel Neill, most famous for playing Lois Lane in the George Reeves Superman TV series. Don't think that means the movie poster on the other end of the jump has anything to do with heroics of any kind.
Nope, this is classic exploitation, done well before she got anywhere near the Man of Steel... check it out!
And girls who like girls who like stuff!
