Kitchen Retro

http://www.kitchenretro.blogspot.com

Kitchen Retro = kitsch and retro. An almost daily dose of old advertisements and mockery, served up together with a dash of sarcasm (or perhaps two dashes). Retro? Yes, from the 20s to the 70s. And the kitsch? I've got cheap retro novelties and disembodied retro-lady heads. That's kitschy!

    This did not catch on, apparently. Even though with "no buttons to bust," you would have plenty of leeway for enormous three-martini lunches. And you could pretend you were an Airman, too - the Chevy magically transformed into a fighter plane as you ...

    This storm window clearly did not come with any instructions. Rule #1: do not attempt to walk through it. Because that's one thing you can't protect your family (or anyone) from: being stupid enough to walk through a storm window. A storm window t...

  • What A Sap

    Posted on Wednesday November 18th, 2009 at 07:38 in 1940s ads, retro medicine, retro unmentionables, retro health

    What a sap you still are! Because that's an interesting choice of words, don't you think? This is the first time I've seen the term "sap" defined as "someone who takes a liquid laxative instead of Ex-Lax." And if this is a sample of her current c...

    Here's a great idea for a fundraiser: how about some fruitcake that's been tossed around the Post Office for awhile, and has been prepackaged in Sample Slices? Yum, that's going to be good. Good and stale. So here we have Benson's Sliced Old Home Fr...

  • Thinking Inside the Underwear Box

    Posted on Monday November 16th, 2009 at 09:15 in weird retro, 1940s ads, retro unmentionables, retrogirlworld

    Something about Maidenform gives women strange hallucinatory dreams - and we can't blame this one on Halloween. So many questions spring to mind; springing, as it were, like nutty ladies out of underwear boxes: -Would she not be a Jill-in-the-box, ...

I visit Lidian's Kitchen Retro blog at least once a day for some retro comic relief during the workday. I don't know where she finds her vintage advertisements, but she always puts the best comic spin on each and every one of them.

Lidian always has amazingly funny retro advertisements that make me laugh out loud! Her commentaries are witty and well written! This is a great place to visit daily!
