lemon cologne

(i know the copy is a little delicate... so the caption is : '...i just don't like smelling like a lemon grove. i'm more subtle than that.' as if 'lemon' is 'real slutty' or something.)

yes, i have to admit, i dig most citrusy cologne. but i think this ad is for more of a 'body splash' than a cologne. actually, since the model is bagging on smelling like a lemon grove, i assume this ad was for a different fragrance, but i've cut off most of the copy, so i can't really tell which smell she was actively hawking. but i love her embroidered blouse, her jeans, her pretty make-up, and her wispy, sandy, gretel-braided hair. i wonder what book she's reading? 'are you there god, its me, margaret?' judy blume's more adult novel 'forever?' or 'wifey?' (i highly recommend 'wifey' by the way... its a hell of a good read.) or maybe she's reading (predictably) emily dickinson. or perhaps '101 of the world's most tasteless jokes.' and i dig the hazy dude in the yellow shirt in the background reaching down to pluck clover or something. i love this ad, just for the nostalgia. and the girl's a darling. i wish the grain and resolution was better, but hey... it was the best version i could find.
