Let Those Wedding Bells Ring

It seems to us that the ‘60s weren’t that long ago, but geez, did we feel old when we came across the “Wedding Embassy Yearbook” put out by Robinson’s department stores in 1964.

This bride’s guide offers this:

“The Older Bride: The woman of thirty (italics ours) or thereabouts is still sufficiently youthful to wear the traditional wedding gown and veil, and with her poise and maturity she will be a radiant though possibly a more sophisticated bride. She may find that one of the pale pastel tones is more flattering than white. Her wedding may naturally be just as large and just as formal as the younger bride’s.”

That’s a relief. So good to know that brides over 30 don’t have to wear black and elope to Vegas anymore.

This Is Entertainment?

While Social Climes was perusing newspaper classifieds the other day, we came across this ad, which wins the Truth in Advertising award: “NASTY BOSS! I’m looking for 6 people who can work half to death for a better than average salary in the entertainment industry. If you like to be kicked around, call for your personal interview.”

Hair There

Forget the Hair Club for Men, forget minoxidil, forget implants, forget that spray-on stuff that turns your bald spot black. The latest in hair growth is Uncle Hairy, a terra cotta head that sprouts sprouts. Kind of a human Chia Pet.

Using the seeds and water, in one to two weeks Uncle Hairy will be sporting a full head of leafy green things.

The kit, which retails for $14.95, includes Uncle Hairy’s head, plastic drip tray and enough chia seeds to keep him hirsute for some time.

To find out in which stores Uncle Hairy is hanging, call Total Kaos at (818) 883-4004.
