The Crest ads are different from most I've posted in that they seem to focus on and appeal to family and community rather than attraction and courtship.
my mother did a crest commercial when she was young in the 60's I've been looking all over to see i could just watch it i see you have all these black commercials i just wish her ad was up there maybe you will be able to find the crest commercial that she is in she was no older than ten and there can't be too many African American crest commercial done by a black girl in the 1960's if you could please help it would be greatly appreciated
This blog features vintage advertising campaigns and fashion editorials from Black/African-American publications, video clips and found photographs featuring people of color from the 1950s-1960s, as well as product descriptions and pictures of vintage pieces I have for sale at my etsy.com shop.
Among the items available for purchase will be dresses, skirts, cardigans, shoes, bags, jewelry, and occasionally hats from the 1950s-1960s or fashioned in the style of that era.
I've loved vintage fashion for some time (and traditional jazz and pop standards, old movies, Doris Day, et al), and did lots of research before deciding to open a vintage etsy shop and start this blog, because I wanted to do it right. Something I noticed during my research, something that helped me to cement my decision, was the lack of women of color in the online vintage community.
So, not only will I be selling vintage clothing, but the pictures I post here, of beautiful women of color from the 1950s and 1960s, will give some idea of what we truly wore then.
My great grandmother, Essie O'Neal, and her brother, Norris Reed, Sr in the late 1940s.
More pictures of my family in the 1940s - 1980s HERE and HERE.
