My Photoshop skills are pretty limited, but I went ahead and ran these bigger than they were in the booklet. Just because I love 'em so much. (Clicking on the image itself and then the largest "View All Sizes" option will give you a little more detail.)

Cynthia does a good job of keeping it under wraps, but you can just tell she's incensed that Marian is late getting there with the Mai Tai fixings-- again!

I wish I could've shown it more clearly, but the old Star-Kist "mascot" actually was a man and a woman kissing in profile.

A purple chair or carpet was very much like Bigfoot at that time. Sure, maybe you heard other people talking about it in hushed tones, but you never actually saw it for yourself. From the November issue of American Home magazine.

"Chaste clean lines and delicately executed details such as the slender chrome legs sheathed in grey-ebony plastic tips and the fine-line metal edged top... encased in enduring Duran [Reg U.S. Trademark] in the new pattern 'Nobby," which resembles a handloomed modern texture... Design by Jakdeser/Theriot." They sure knew how to make sitting down to cornflakes and instant coffee seem sexy.

Dated December. "Square Table and stools designed by Axel Thygesen for Interna, Thorstedlund, Fredrickssund, Denmark. Telefon Eva 8014." Not much in the way of knee room. I don't think I'd want to dine and drink sidesaddle. Better to just emulate the Japanese, get a cushion onto the floor and kneel instead.
