We came across a series of vintage beauty ads from the 1950′s that were just too good to not re-share. The advertising images feature models of the day (including Eva Six) promoting weight gaining product.

Sometimes ads like these really put beauty in perspective. We love these so much and hope you share the vintage beauty ads with your friends to remind them that beauty is in the eye of the beholder! While these images are vintage, their recent virality bring an exciting reminder back into the picture. Real beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

    Maybe i’m in the wrong but I see this is as kinda depressing :/ It’s like no matter what the time period is…women are always having to change their weight on how men/society want. We’re either pressured to lose weight or to gain it…lose lose situation.

    Couldn’t you argue that breast implant ads imply the same thing?

    Frankly, when I see these all I think it “Woman are beautiful.” Throughout the ages. Because we ARE!

    How is it better for society to bash on naturally skinny girls? It was definitely not okay in that ad for the guy to call her a “beanpole.” Skinny or not, girls have a right to feel comfortable in their own skin.
