You're Soaking in it

Finally, a vintage commercial that gets to the heart of problems afflicting us thrifters. Get a load of the grotesque squirrel lamp.
Oh those dishpan hands! Here's a slightly younger Madge. I love the way the announcer says "greasy casserole," without a hint of disgust.

    I love Madge! My hands can get pretty grungy from all those dusty and dirty thrifted treasures! I carry wet ones and moisturizing lotion with me to help. ;)
