Thank you so much, both for the Maidenform ad and the link! And I was so glad to find your site, too - a total pleasure :)

Lidian...you need to meet all of the commenters before you let down your guard around here. Did you hear the one about the Maidenform Living Bra and the woman who did not have anything to feed it with.

The missle nose-cone breast was popular in the 50s.

I haven't seen one of those ads in forever!

It was part of a long-running campaign in the 50s and 60s in magazines like Life and Look.

Ahhh memories of the "I dreamed..."
Maidenform bra ads. I was a young boy when these ads appeared.

My reaction was part titillation and part "what the hell!"
