last night i dreamt that i was a world-famous perfume bottle designer. i lived in paris and was commissioned to design a security fencing system for the louvre (but i was still a perfume bottle designer). dreams do that.
in honor of my dreams, below are some fragrance ads via glamour's november issue, 1981. they tell so much about the women we were, or could have been...
chanel... "witty, confident, and devastatingly feminine".
yes, that is me you speak of. BUY.
the [enormous] senchal woman "...not going to marry the boy next door".
oh dear, agreed. BUY.
the "gorgeous" and "sexy-young", charlie.
named after a man, she wears head-to-toe irradescent gold lame...
oh doll, you look like fire with legs. NO DICE.
yet, for the empris, part of the art of being a woman is knowing when not to be too much of a lady.
so what you're trying to say is ________. BUY
