Gypsy Creams
Welcome to Gypsy Creams!
Being a keen student of social history, I jumped at the chance to pick up a large box of women’s magazines from the 1960s, and this site is the result. The magazines have much that is amusing and interesting, but I especially want to focus on the advertising, and to reflect on what has changed, what hasn’t, and to highlight the odd advert that really highlights a change happening in society at that time. Comments are very welcome, and if you have any contributions of your own, I’d love to hear from you. Enjoy!

There was an iconic biscuit from the time called ‘Gypsy Creams’. I’m not sure if you can still get them, but I was inspired by a CD I own: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gypsy-Creams-Ginger-Nuts-Supermarkets/dp/B000P46PPA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1253709358&sr=8-3

Great subject for a blog!
Noobish question here, why “Gypsy Creams”?
