Gypsy Creams

As plain as the nose on her face…

Woman's Weekly / 18th March 1967

I found this interesting as it seems to mark a point at which cosmetic surgery started to be used as a consumer product, rather than as a solution to disfigurement. This seems to be a subtle advert, judging from the phrasing used, and I’m also wondering just how they can show such a transformation when the two pictures are taken from such different angles…

When I’m a time traveller I’ll go back though time and publish loads of adverts in magazines like this, featuring a handsome man declaring “big, natural noses are fucking great, and don’t cost anything to keep.”
