Buy me a drink....


If you are as strange as I am and have seen those adorable 1950's wifes on flasks and ID cases and notepads and magnets and so on and so forth, featuring women who say/think coy and sometimes raffish things, and you wondered if those images were actual 1950's images or manufactured for this particular merchandise line, you'd be interested to know they are legit. Those women were actual women who looked like that at some point about 50 years ago. They modeled for Sears and sewing machines, etc. etc..

The women are called Taintorettes, named after the originator of the line, Anne Taintor. Some of the Taintorettes have been identified. Those who have can now be seen and read about in mini-bios on the Anne Taintor website. Take a look and find out exactly whose face you've been laughing at all this time.
