Pink is For Girls




Caption: “That’s why Lustre-Creme is pink. Because it’s made just for girls. If you don’t believe it, just breathe in Lustre-Creme’s pink fragrance. See, it’s a little too delicate for anyone but a girl! Now shampoo with pink Lustre-Creme and feel how truly soft your hair can be. So soft, it says “touch me.“ And he will!“

“Pink fragrance?“ Really? What does pink smell like?

A few years ago I started collecting old posters in shades of pinks, creams and browns. My intention was to decorate my guest room and the adjoining guest bathroom with a modern interpretation of a romantic, old-fashioned Valentine’s Day chocolate box. Can you picture it? Rich matte caramel-colored walls, sleek mahogany carved furniture, a silky off-white fainting couch, and little pops of pinks, whites, silver and gold. The bathroom would be drenched in warm creamy colors with an understated crystal chandelier, lots of candles, and vintage prints (like this one I found in a shop in New Orleans) to add some fun.

I’ve got all of the decor pieces I think I may need someday if I ever decided to create this room with the exception of one thing…Lustre-Creme Shampoo. How cool would it be if my female guests could have soft, pink-smelling Lustre-Creme hair?
