Vintage ads are so wonderful.
I love the green fluffy hat and the red apple.
The beauty spot.
Her apple red lipstick.
Groomed eyebrows.
Her nail polish.
The apple green background.
This Dorothy Gray ad was from the 50's.
I looked Dorothy Gray up on the Internet and she was a very interesting lady. Dorothy first started work at Elizabeth Arden where it was rumoured they fired her because she lived with a man.
Dorothy opened her first salon in 1916. Her salon became very successful and her name and product was purchased by a pharmaceutical company, opening all over America and overseas.
Dorothy spent her time travelling the world. She died in the 80's.
What else do I like about this photo after reading all about Dorothy on the nets.....
I like that the model is confident, almost giving you a look that says "I can live with a man if I want too."
Yes you can.
