kool lady..page one

I wonder what she is thinking??

 

[beerad]

pagw two

great illustrations

 

[sanimatic]

My guess is that she's thinking about how her feet hurt and wondering why she is expected to do the housework in those stiletto's.

She Was Thinking

What a wonderful new vacuum to go along with those fabulous high heels!

 

[beerad]

I think she is thinking..

[beerad]

all the accessories for this kirby,but not the vac.

I'll bet she was thinking....

"It's 1967 and I'm vacuuming my rugs with a brand new vacuum cleaner that looks as though it's 20 years old!" lol

 

[sanimatic]

I think she prefers Martini's or Manhattans. Very 60s cocktails.

I wonder what she is thinking??

I have the vac. but no attachments. Maybe they can get together some day !! It seems a set of the green attachments do not show up on ebay very often.

 

[tom519]

Tan, not green

I meant to say 'tan' attachments, not green. The D80 was green. I guess because the manual had green on the cover I was thinking of the D80.

Kirby D50

As I recall, Kirby called that odd tan color 'Cirroco'(can't remember how they spelled it). The D50 is my favorite Kirby. I have two.

She's thinking "Hey, I wanna look like Laura Petrie"!

Apparently you guys don't recognize THE Gloria Steinem in the above photo. The above photo was taken just after she lost her gig as a Playboy Bunny out in California. To make ends meet, she moved back to Ohio and got this job as a Kirby product model. It was during her stint at Kirby that she experienced her political awakening and decided to throw off the shackles of women's oppression -- girdles, under wire bras, stiletto heels, vacuuming, and of course, bunny ears . In the photo above, she's plotting her strategy for establishing the Women's Liberation Movement while she vacuums with the Dual Sanitronic 50. (Now you know the rest of the story! LOL!)

High heels,,,,,,,,,

were a required for vacuum before 1970 if I'm not mistaken. =0)
