What a strange and unusual ad!!! I have never seen anything like this before.

I think they were trying to make it "artistic" so people didn't feel embarrassed about looking at underwear.

It's hilarious. Love the 2D-ness :)
That lady up front is obviously from another photo. Crummy collages are the best!

I wonder what message was supposed to be sent by inserting the hand with the watermelon?
pepepochi (79 months ago | reply)

vintagephoto (79 months ago | reply)
Exactly. What is the purpose of the hand with the water melon?

This is strangely cool. The undergarments become secondary to the other things in the picture.
