Sears' High Waisters, 1970.


UPDATE: Due to a flood of two comments demanding to know if this is real, we have decided to post the original ad. We choose to interpret this not so much as a testament to the workmanship of the Phil Are GO! Graphic Blandishment and Photoshoppery Brigade (those guys already strut around like they own the place), but rather that people are prepared to believe almost any dopey clothing trend from The Seventies.

Click for big.

Thanks for the alert. That's why we put out watermark on pictures, thankfully. People who are too lazy or apathetic to give credit are nearly always too lazy or apathetic to rub out our watermark. It seems to be doing its job. That post is enjoying a surprising number of hits. So, there's the silver lining.

We updated the post with the original image, too. So, only the truly lazy won't scroll down far enough to see the unedited ad.

Stupid and easily led people will believe anything. That's why a third of Americans still support Trump.

Omg this shit was hilarious! I scrolled all the way down, dod another sep. Search, but Omg so damned funny. When I lived in Berlin in 86, they did try to bring back mens jumpsuits, so.....

And because 70s clothing ads are so analogous to 21st century political chicanery
