1963 Hollywood Cosmetics

Avon lady wanna-be selling Hollywood Cosmetics in a Jackie-O suit.

Here is a great ad from 1963 for Hollywood Cosmetics. At first glance, it appears that the woman in the Jackie Kennedy suit is an Avon Lady wanna-be.  However, after reading the copy, it looks like Studio Girl-Hollywood Cosmetics is a company that sells gifts. And get this–it references Christmas shopping in September! And we thought shameful pre-Thanksgiving Christmas shopping promotion was a 21st century thing. (Published in the September 1963 Good Housekeeping Magazine).

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
