Vintage Ad: Girl, please! How you gonna sit on my couch knitting in them raggedy-ass stockings?


Honey, I think that we have bigger problems here.  If your husband is the sort of fancy, fancy man who worries his metrosexual little head about the perfection of your stockings, there are other problems in the relationship.  Is he pissy because they won't be nice when he wants to wear them or is he just a dick?  Either way, girl, Lux ain't fixin' the problem.

  1. LMAO!!! True story. If he's hating on you because of some small, irrelevant physical flaw, it's pretty obvious that you're not the actual problem. I'd say he has insecurities that are motivating him to find reasons to criticize so he can boost his own ego, or it's something else passive that he's not admitting to said lady, so he's latently finding other reasons to make her feel bad when he needs to just come out with the full problem to her. Either way, cut him off, nobody likes selfish passive aggression or ego.

    I love your blog Erin!!!! :) It makes me laugh!! I have such talented family!

  2. I totally agree with you! It's sad how many women would tolerate that kind of thing. I think it was worse back in the 50s when this ad was published, but even today women put up with too much bs! I'm glad you get my twisted sense of humor! You might be the only one who reads this thing, but it lets me vent, so it's a good thing!
