Oh dear. Look at this poor fellow. He's styled very '70s, isn't he? The shaggy hair, full beard, gold chains and cheesy sunglasses. It's just all so very unfortunate.
But as bad as his head is, wait until you see what he's wearing after the jump!

Remember when you used to get stuff with your bread? Like trading cards or stickers or whatever? Ah, the good ol' days. I used to drive my mom crazy pawing at the package of bread trying to get the card to a see-through area so I could see if it was one I wanted. But lets go back to an even crazier time when you could get something even better from your bread! Make the jump and find out what!

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!
And girls who like girls who like stuff!
