Beauty is Only a Name Away
Early Beauty Advertising
|
Women at the beginning of the twentieth century wanted long hair. They could buy potions that promised to make it grow, or one purchase long hair from a magazine. Charles Dona Gibson creates the century's first pin-up girl with his drawings published in Life magazine. The Gibson Girl represented the ideal "liberated young woman" and sported long locks swept up into a pompadour. This hair was rolled from temple to temple over a horsehair "rat" to give it width. Man longed to find a real life counterpart of the Gibson Girl who enjoyed the new freedoms of outdoor sport and indoor flirtation. |
