Children of the 70s like me remember some pretty interesting things. One of those things was my mom meeting with her Avon representative, trying out the latest lipsticks and perfumes. In our household, our Avon rep also happened to be our babysitter, so it wasn’t quite so unusual to have her around- but it was still fun to see all those little samples and sniff all the latest fashionable trinkets and goodies.
Here are a set of classic TV commercials for Avon from the 50s through the late 60s, featuring the tag, “Ding Dong - Avon Calling!” In the early days, Avon reps went door to door, ringing doorbells and presenting their wares. This isn’t the case so much anymore. I especially like the late 60s psychedelic commercial with all the wild patterns and colors. I could just imagine Sal-E at my doorstep presenting colors with names like “Shocking Blue” or “Neon Yellow.” I’ll take two, thank you!

Wow, that was great. I think it would be a hoot for Buck to interview transsexual porn star Buck Angel and you can call it Buck on Buck. Or maybe… A Couple of Bucks?...
