I love vintage ads. Reminds me of the show “Mad Men” - one of my favorites to watch.

This ad reminded me of something my mom said recently. She applied to be a stewardess about 30 years ago. Her first interview was over the phone and one of the first questions they asked her was if she had any “visible scars” because their employees had to appear flawless. Ha! Can you even imagine the outcries and lawsuits if that happened today?

One of my neighbors at my old place was in her late 60’s/early 70’s and from England. We were chatting one day and she said that she used to be a stewardess for British Airways back in the 1960’s. She’s very pretty and charming now, so I imagine she was a hot little number back then. I saw her in a whole new light after that. LOL
