From 1958: What My Alternate Universe Looks Like

This film introduces Boeing 707 jet service on Pan American World Airways.



I long to live in this more civilized world; certainly I was born several decades too late.

On that note, allow me to tell you that I admire the spacious "powder rooms" on this jet the most. Remind to tell you guys sometime about the time Ken and I flew home from Singapore via Tokyo and Minneapolis, 21+ hours of flight time, as I suffered from a raging case of the stomach flu. I started feeling ill in Changi Airport and it all went downhill from there. Even though we were in First Class on all three flights home, it was still miserable.

More From Schick: Gorgeous Suzy Parker


Here, Suzy shows the world that having your hair in curlers and drying it with your hairdryer is no excuse to forgo the glamour. By all means, have a full face of makeup, a perfect manicure, and lounge in an all-white ensemble! Talk on your super space-age silver phone!

From 1965: Setting Your Curls Using Space-Age Technology!

Just for The Gals Of The Space Era: a portable hair dryer from Schick that is portable enough to bring along on the next rocket headed to the moon! Lunar landings are no excuse for a girl to have less-than-perfect curls, and we hear that astronauts prefer girls who wear their hair in a flip!

And hey, you double-clickers: be sure to catch the comment about The Beverly Hillbillies.
