Sarah Bellum and I have been having fun with old beauty ads, like the one showing that Adam and Eve wore too much makeup. Here’s another one we found amusing. Yes, we know it was the 1970s. And, yes, we know that “hip” and “mod” reigned supreme…
But what the HELL?!?!
In most beauty ads, the hair style takes center stage. “Make me look beautiful like the goddess in the ad” is what you’re supposed to say to yourself as you flip through Cosmo.
But this ad seems to call to you in a droning, zombie like tone:
“Must–Join–Cybernetic –Blue–Capped–Line– Dancing– Clones.”
If this were a James Bond villainess her name would be something catchy, like “Blue Bonnet Plague.” Unfortunately, it’s just an actual ad for a hair dryer. Go figure.

Only 15 feet of cord though. At least the blue bonneted zombies can’t get us if we stand 20 feet away.
My mom had something like that–a plastic hood with a light blue thin plastic tube attached to a cylindrical turquoise plastic hair dryer. You could sling it on your shoulder and theoretically move about. If I was feeling girly, I’d set my baby fine hair and sit for the hour or so it took for it to dry. Of course, it fell in less time than that, but it sure was fun while it lasted.
I remember my grandmother had one of these, she referred to it as a travel hair drier – the idea being that when you were travelling you weren’t able to pop in to your hairdresser for your regular “set” under those big drier things they used to have. I liked to pretend that it was a spaceman’s helmet when my grandmother used it to set my hair!
Hahahah! Blue Bonnet Plague.
Weren’t those models also in that old Robert Palmer video “Addicted to Love?”
