Oh man I need to read this book. NEED TO.

I remember Allison Silverman having a piece/presentations of tampon and pad adverts and how their tactics and messages have changed throughout the years. You'd think I'd have saved it, considering I adore her so much.

You so do, it's awesome-- for serious.

Oh wow-- I wanna find that. I'm doing a Stephen/Allison fic for punkishgrin and my Allison voice is going to take a lot of work (what with me never having written her and all).

Trufax: the plethora of ads for stuff that "treated" allegedly smelly vaginas (nice!) was truly terrifying, particularly since several basically flat out stated your marriage was failing because of the way you stink. *shudder*

FUN FACT: Dude, the euphemisms for menstruation are HILARIOUS. I knew several, but this book has 'em from all over the world. I particularly liked "the Communists are invading the funhouse".
