Advertising from the 1940-1960s thought they were helping women of all ages become the beauties there were expected to be. If you didn't try or succeed in luring a man it was probably your own doing. But can you keep your man? It was a full-time job to keep him happy and healthy and you were successful when you "know your place" in the world.

This beautifully framed work includes the face of a lightweight vintage TV giving it a weight of approximately 20 lbs (9 kilos).

Materials used:

Vintage TV, Acrylic paint, Plexiglass, Resin, Vintage breath mints tin
