I curse being born in the Fifties...

[WCGreen]

All we had was Hi Karate to win the girls with.

If only we had had Axe, I could have gotten more girls...

1. Hey! I was born in the 60s....

By the time I got to college, we had leisure suits and the bold scent of Brute to win them over!

[WCGreen]

2. How'd that work out for ya...

This Axe must be potent.

[av8rdave]

4. Not very well at the time, but...

probably kept me out of a lot of trouble. In the long run, things worked out pretty well!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Oh really?

Seems to me you did all right!

:P

5. Don't forget Jade East and English Leather

Does anyone remember the commercial with the medieval lady riding on a horse, and she says "All my men wear English Leather". ???

I always wanted to make a parody where the lady says: All my men wear Mule Sweat.



:rofl:

11. Sock Hop at the skate ring on Friday night

The place could have been renamed the Perfumed Palace. There were hundreds of sweaty kids dancing the disco.

But if a person got tired of the smell out on the floor, just go into the bathroom where the cigarette smoke was so thick you could capture it in a jar and take it home.

The things we did in the '70 before there was the internet and video games.

16. Yup. I think I lived in a different world in the 70's.

When I was in high school in the late 60's, then college in the early 70's, natural was the only way to go. Girls had shunned the salon and would just part their hair in the middle and let it grow as long as it wanted to. (Boys would most often part their hair on the side.) There was no such thing as a bikini wax (thank God) and the highest heels were two inches. (on boots) Bras were either done away with altogether or made of stretchy cotton or nylon for minimum imprisonment. Only geeks wore after shave.

12. 40s. Bay Rum. Pinaud Clubman. Lilac Vegetal.

I think Lilac Vegetal was what my barber shop used.
You could always tell when a guy had just had a haircut by his odor.

13. stetson

if you're into nasty sweaty hatband smells...

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. But you had Brylcreem!

[bikebloke]

15. English Leather reminds me of rancid sweat.

After high school gym class and showers, a few guys trying to be "collegic", would douse themselves with English Leather. Mingled with sweat, you can bet they were violating the Geneva Convention. Schtink!!
