Wyoming Breezes

Remember the little Coppertone girl in the ads?  Maybe the company should try a new approach! 

sign on the side of a package liquor store Laramie, WY May 2019 I had to smile when I saw this sign on the side of a local package liquor store. It's a humorous reminder for Mother's Day and also for those who don't know what to give their mothers for the holiday. I'm sure there's some truth in the sign's message.

vintage advertisement Wheatland, WY circa 1978 Advertisement painted on the side of a building in downtown Wheatland, Wyoming in the late 1970s.  I wonder if it's still there?

actual advertisement in Riverton Ranger June 2017 This announcement was in the local paper recently (last name and location have been obscured), and the last line caught my attention.  The couple has lived and worked in the area for years, and to my knowledge, they certainly do not strike me as being camera shy. While it's their celebration and they have every right to set restrictions, it seems odd to ask guests NOT to bring cameras.  I've never seen anything like it before.  Have you? What are your thoughts?

Main Street Cody, WY March 2016 This is the first time I've ever seen a billboard, encouraging motorists to turn around and go back to a business they had already passed. Have you seen anything like this?

Life Savers' advertisement circa 1950s Shirley S. lost her sleek appeal                                      Slim Sally Hayes stays light on her feet She never stops eating from meal to meal                     She makes Life Savers her 'tween meal treat  What are your impressions of this vintage advertisement?

Advertisement from a  newspaper December 1979 I don't know what this advertisement is trying to sell, but I find the image interesting. The children's heads strangely do not match the bodies, which I find a bit unsettling. What are your thoughts? Update : my friend Sheila sent the image to a family member who said the following: It's in Japanese, so I can only understand bits of it. Looks like an ad for Children's Day (national holiday that was Boy's Day). Mothers' Day is mentioned in one of the boxes on the right. Oh, I just noticed the date, May 5 , which is definitely Children's Day. So that mystery is solved, partially.

from April 1949 Workbasket Has anyone ever heard of this product? It almost sounds too good to be true - no smell, quick and easy to use, and lasts for months. I got my first permanent in the 1970s and a handful since then. My hair takes the curl too well, and I end up looking like a poodle for about three weeks. I got my last permanent about two years ago. What kinds of experience have you had with permanents?

Vintage Lipton Tea advertisement I drink a LOT of tea: I prefer it to coffee when given a choice. Oddly, I am not a fan of iced tea - I drink it hot, even in the summer. In fact, I brew my tea in an automatic coffee maker. Lipton was the brand of tea that my mother always purchased; however, my favorite brands or Bigelow , Twinings , Murchies , as well as Harney and Sons . The tea flavors that I enjoy the most are Earl Grey, Lady Grey, English Breakfast, Oolong, Irish Breakfast. I rarely drink fruit flavored or herbal teas and almost never drink green tea because I drank more than my share of green tea in Japan. I do not add any sweetener to my tea and never add milk. What do you prefer to drink - coffee or tea?
