What's sex got to do with Mr. Leggs Slacks? This is an ad from the 1950s. I found it when I was doing research for a play I was in that was set in the 50s. If you can't see the words on the bottom, it says, "After one look at Mr. Leggs Slacks, she was ready to let him walk all over her."

wow, thats a pretty powerful message. I have to add that even in present time, we have jean adds that are sexual, like levis.

It is so surprised picture. It looks an advertisement. However, I don't know what they want to advertise through this picture. What they want to show through this picture? However, definably, it looks not good as a woman.
