Weekend Onesie: Stay Healthy!

Weekend Onesie:
Stay Healthy!

People who check in on this blog on a regular basis know that I am a huge fan of graphics. Some of the finest? From various government agencies around the world. I adore their big, broad use of color and presentation of iconic ideals, characters and images.

Government agencies are responsible for any number of initiatives - suggestions brought home to the people by use of posters. Today, we'll take a brief look at the effort to stay healthy - such as washing one's hands. And while people may not have always heeded their advice, they did get their message out, boldly, colorfully and sometimes humorously via brilliant posters.
 
Some things never go out of style.
Like washing your hands!
Do your body some good, today.

Weekend Onesie: It Floats (My Boat)!

Weekend Onesie: 
It Floats (My Boat)!

Ahh, the gently homoerotic nature of early Ivory soap ads.

Clearly, what they were selling was pure in more than just one way.

Cleanliness is next to something... that's for sure.

So, take a gander at these vintage ads from a more innocent time.

Or? Did they know exactly who they were appealing to?

They certainly 'float' my 'boat'.

In fact, we're at full mast and ready to sail!

Gentle Homoeroticism.
It should be required study for any artist.
But... you're free to draw your own conclusion.

Weekend Onesie: Because He Likes It!

 
Weekend Onesie:
Because He Likes It!


I like it, too.

Or I did... but now I only have a shower.

This is becoming more common. New places? They don't bother with a bathtub. 

But there's something so soothing and relaxing about sitting in a hot tub, even if, technically, you're making human soup.

I swim every chance I get. I just love being in the water. 

Which is why I miss baths. 

If that makes me a sissy? So be it. 

This sissy embraces his swishy.

Rub-a-dub, a hot man in a tub.
That sounds like a great weekend to me.
Here, let me suds you up.
