So after researching about shaving advertising in the 1940s, I decided to take copy from an old Advertisement "Summer Dress and Modern Dancing combine to make necessary the removal of objectionable hair." I also wanted to use the photo of Betty Garble who was used in these advertisements.
Betty Garble info: Her iconic bathing suit photo made her the number-one pin-up girl of the World War II era. It was later included in the Life magazine project "100 Photos that Changed the World". Grable was particularly noted for having the most beautiful legs in Hollywood and studio publicity widely dispersed photos featuring them. Hosiery specialists of the era often noted[citation needed] the ideal proportions of her legs as: thigh (18.5") calf (12"), and ankle (7.5"). Grable's legs were famously insured by her studio for $1,000,000 with Lloyds of London.
