…Then kinky sex results??!?!?!?!? I swear that this picture looks like what happens after the very end of Secretary, when Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character puts a bug in James Spader’s character’s book [?] specifically for the purpose of provoking a BDSM scenario of “punishment” later. I say this because the scenario looks so obviously staged [notice how neatly the woman’s hair is styled], and she appears to be faking a look of distress while actually smiling. I found this ad on the community vintage_ads, which contains boundless beautiful examples of the art used to sell things.

Squee! what a fun community! I love this stuff (but you knew that already)
Jesus. If I’d lived back then I would totally have … well, I don’t know.
But god, I understand Valerie Solanas just a little when I see shit like that. Ok, more than a little.
Shit like that makes me want to do a Hothead Paisan.
It is sort of amusing.
The thing that gets me is the infantilization, because of course this was an era where the male parent presumably normally inflicted physical discipline on children…e.g. “Wait until your father gets home” and “Get my belt.”
At least he isn’t using a belt. Or a hairbrush. Presumably that would be too creepy for the idiots this is aimed at.
Then again, I guess I just don’t get her look of glee.
