A TVTA Fashion Exclusive !!!
Wooof was so excited. The intrepid office cat had been busy preparing our Non-toy ad Tuesday segment when he came across a 1982 advert for Starburst sweatshirts!
“Of course I’ll order you some,” I told him. “After all you’re not quite sixteen yet and don’t have a bank account.”
Cue one happy cat and the order form completed of our first featured ad. Right, time to fire up the office time machine in the name of fashion and exclamation mark overuse as we go shopping!!!!!

Booey-phooey! We’ve run out of clothing ads, real money, virtual money and time-travel fuel! Time to crash-land to the end of the post and dust ourselves down. Never mind, we’re certain there’ll be other retro fashion posts in the near future. In the meantime we’re off to listen David Bowie’s Fashion while trying on our new duds 🙂

Haha! I love these ads and did you know I was really the “Unknown Stuntman”? 😀 No-one knew, but it was me.
Just kidding about being a stuntman (though I did pretend), however I did fly past Alpha Centuri recently and the weather did look a bit chilly. If I knew that was your part of the galaxy I’d have dropped in to say hello! Thanks for another great collection.

Loved that show and remember the lyrics “I might jump an open drawbridge, or Tarzan from a vine, because I’m the unknown stuntman
that made Eastwood look so fine.”

Yep and Lee Majors sang it himself, no stunt singer needed. I actually had the ERTL Pull Back Action Fall Guy GMC truck and I loved it. There was something cool (I know I sound old) about that brown and gold colour scheme with the Fall Guy logo on hood/bonnet. I “performed” a lot of stunts with that toy.
