I don't think I had 10th grade history with anyone who reads this, so no one here will really understand my long-standing obsession with this particular ad campaign. But really, sometimes things just need to speak for themselves:



Bam.











This last one lacks a sassy caption explaining the bra patron's dream, but it's fun to imagine anyway:



Sadly, this last image no longer seems to be working. Instead, enjoy these others that I found at this website:
Ah! She has returned!

I vaguely remember you going on about the campaign, but I don't remember what started it.

We were covering the 50's and we had to watch a documentary that featured several Maidenform television commercials, and I became obsessed with them because they're so WEIRD! LOOK at them!

My favorite television commercial one involved a woman hanging from a crane in the middle of the construction of a skyscraper (not lying). The line was something like, "I dreamed I was lifted...in my Maidenform bra.

There was also one about leading the Easter parade.

Remember when Reese Witherspoon says as much in Pleasantville? God, I love that movie.

Oh my god, that is the most vile thing I've heard in weeks. Did you hear Rallo is retiring?
