Is Next… Swimwear

Blast from the past: Wendy’s commercial from the 1980s, Cold-War-style. “Is next… daywear!”

The only reason I recognize this commercial is because it was one of the featured commercials in one of those old-school VHS-based board games (“Commercial Crazies”) that me and my geeky friend would play obsessively. Sigh, good times.

I think the outfits would have worked better if Tim Gunn had been around to and asked that the designers better utilize the “Macy’s Accessory Wall”…

Truly funny. But, i think there’s also a lot to be said for this idea of “style.” It would be an amazing day in America if we all forgot about fashion and merely embraced uniform clothing. We’d be a much healthier society for it. It will happen, one day.
