I remember Madge! None of the others though. But I wonder if I can still get Vi-Rex Violet Rays and Virilase. Do you suppose the Virilase is a suppository?
Madge was a bright spot during my childhood. Especially in summer. All hell could be breaking loose, but everything stopped so my mother could watch her stories. Whenever Madge appeared? She made me so happy. Thanks for the memories, and the giggles.
I was in the drug store on Boylston St in Back Bay, Boston & POW, Jan Miner walked in and proclaimed something or other, I don't remember. As I turned and saw her, I surely let out a loud OH MY!
As I commented to Uptonking, I wouldn't recognise her if she was next to me on a bus. I looked her up on Wikipedia, and it seems those adverts were all she was famous for. How sad. Jx
My encounter would've been in the 80s when, "You're soaking in it" was ubiquitous. Everyone knew who "Madge" was. She was probably appearing in a play, though I see she was born in Boston, so maybe she was visiting?

ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of that "box of tricks" I think the Vi-Rex Violet Rays might be! Jx

ReplyDeleteWe never had the adverts over here in the UK, so it's all a mystery to me. Jx
DeleteLucky you!
DeleteWe had "Mild Green Fairy Liquid" - making an equally daft claim that detergent makes your hands softer...

DeleteAh, celebrity encounters. They get one all excited - until the first person one tells about it says "Who?!!". Jx
DeleteDentures and fag breath? Charles Fitzgerald sounds like a catch! Who's going to introduce me?
ReplyDeleteSome wag commented on this online: "Worst. Tinder. Profile. Ever." Jx
DeleteI wanted that Nokia so badly! I'm glad I saved my pennies.

I still have a Nokia. It's my only phone. Not that monstrosity, though. Jx
DeleteAt first glance I thought the glowing healthy people were in coffins!

Since "violet rays" were basically electrodes attached to various parts of the body, I wouldn't be at all surprised. Jx
