Maxine and Rosie

Whoa, the month almost went by without a post, and if that happened the world might have just slipped off its axis. 

So to prevent a possible Mayan calendar prophecy, and for the betterment of all mankind I proudly present a look a couple of forgotten early 70's ad women...

Fist here's Vivian Vance as Maxine the coffee lady. Vivian is well-known for  playing Lucille Ball's sidekick, but I don't think many remember her time as a pitch-woman for Maxwell House Instant Coffee... 

 



These print ads are kinda like story storyboards for a commercial, and she did those too...



This next forgotten lady is named Rosie, and she wants you to know Clorox does more than the wash...



Whoever Rosie was I don't believe she ever got to do Clorox commercials, but nevertheless I've regularly poured Clorox in my toilets.  Yeah, that last sentence was a total non sequitur, but letting Clorox sit over night in your toilet is great way to get them sparking clean without the chore of scrubbing.  I think that was another non sequitur also.
