An advert from the war times asking men to 'save' themselves from the wrath of the hookers. Of course, someone with STD is one less soldier on the battlefield, so I can understand the intentions of this ad. But, something about it is very twisted and disturbing and its not just one thing that I can't place my finger on.
Besides, I feel extremely sorry for that model. This definitely wasn't a highlight in her career/resume.

For The Love Of Retro
This blog is dedicated to my clandestine fascination for all things retro. It features articles relating to the air of the 30's, 40's, 50's and beyond, defining the era we have now past and I begrudge.
