Epilady Ad from 1988
This is an ad from late 1980s American television for a hair removal/medieval torture device* called Epilady. This is a very tame commercial compared to the European ones in this thread, but leg lovers should appreciate it. I remember seeing it when I was in 7th grade and in the hormone-addled throes of puberty (hoo, boy). It opens with a Marilyn Monroe skirt-blowing bit, moves through some late-80s miniskirt goodness, and wraps up with some skirt twirling. The video quality isn't anything special, given that I ripped it from YouTube, and the source is no doubt an old VHS tape (I trimmed out the first and last second of the YouTube clip, figuring you weren't particularly interested in what time Siskel and Ebert could have been seen in Boston in 1988.) This is a minor but hopefully still welcome addition to the collection.
*the women I knew who actually tried using this, most of whom were teenagers at the time, said this was by far the most painful way they ever tried to "shave" their legs.
