Description
“Over a barrel? for clothes? money? love?” asks this advertisement for a catalog of “fabulous Hollywood glamour-fashions designed for male appeal.” The catalog includes articles of lingerie, play-clothes, separates, coats, shoes, and date dresses to achieve a “complete pin-up wardrobe.” A scantily clad, seductive woman is pictured draped over a barrel making direct eye contact with the reader who happens upon this advertisement. The advertisement promises a collection of “money-saving man-getter[s]” for those who may not match the image of the beautified woman in the picture.
