Ha Ha! Too funny! 😊
ReplyDeletedue to (or maybe despite) being a long-time fan of vintage girdles, i appreciate the humour of this pic. however, the brand name used is still a registered trade mark, and as such the owners might object to unauthorised use of it - even when used in this context. therefore i would suggest that stana consider using a fictional derivative instead. maybe something like "femtex"? or with reference to a word i used earlier: "contex"?
ReplyDeleteIn the USA, the Fair Use doctrine permits limited use of copyrighted material without having to first acquire permission from the copyright holder. A parody is a work that ridicules another, usually well-known work, by imitating it in a comic way. Judges understand that, by its nature, parody demands some taking from the original work being parodied. Unlike other forms of fair use, a fairly extensive use of the original work is permitted in a parody in order to “conjure up” the original.
Deletewell that's good to know then, and you hopefully won't get a tap on the shoulder from litigators (i can only assume the UK has a similar stance?). and who knows, playtex girdle sales might rise as a result of the send-up? but probably not otherwise, as i would be amazed if anyone other than cross-dressers purchase such garments these days!
DeleteThe ad actually brought back memories of my younger years. I seem to remember the women in the ad as well as the headline of "Got you covered". I just can't remember which magazine or catalogue they were in. Probably SEARS or Penny's.
ReplyDeleteLOL oh how I can remember wearing my mom's girdles and hose that's what got me started as a young lad in grade school been dressing ever since
ReplyDeleteAaaaah, Yes! The yearly Sears/JCPenny 'wishbook'. Some years the beloved book failed to arrive :-(.
ReplyDeleteThen I realized I could use the companies 1-800 number and order the catalogue in the families name, and save mom all that trouble!
In our small house, one had to be real cagey as to 'pretend' you were looking at the tools, or toys, sporting goods, ect... but you had memorized the page numbers, so your REAL interest would be readily available, so much so that the mighty book would merely fall open to the forbidden pages...

I love the scent of lycra-spandex in the morning--or ANYTIME for that matter.
