Found this ultra cool needlebook at Stoudt's Antique Mall last weekend. On a table with broken bits & bobs, marked, "Everything here $5." Heck, the imagery is worth $5 let alone the fact that it's chock full of needles in every size!!
Love how she's sitting side-saddle in her dress, and how her shoes, purse and hair accessory match! Even her lipstick matches!
I think it's interesting that there's a man in control in the image, and that she's holding onto him for dear life as they zoom through outer space. My background is marketing research, and the fact that he's sitting up front in the driver's seat (on a package that has virtually nothing to do with him) is a rich time capsule of (1) consumer behavior and (2) tailoring a marketing message to the embedded perceptions that dictate said buying behavior. How much has changed and how much is the same, but just made to seem different?
Oh, the psychology of it all!! Or, as J unwittingly dubbed M's field when he was but a wee tot: Psydramedy. He had no clue he was pulling together psychology, drama and comedy - but rings too true in every way!
Found these pearly-retro buttons, too. I have a plan for them!
