Mel Tormé for Charlie #MusicMonday

Cold Cream 'n' Roses
If Giorgio was the signature fragrance of the 1980s, if Calvin Klein Escape was the signature fragrance of the early 1990s, and if Chanel No. 5 is the forever classic fragrance, then Charlie by Revlon was the signature fragrance of the 1970s.  A lot of Charlie’s appeal came from its TV commercials featuring a confident, carefree and full of joie de vivre Shelley Hack. Here’s Mel Tormé aka “The Velvet Fog” for Charlie:


That was when songs for TV commercials were tuneful, memorable, and original.

Fun fact: did you know that Mel Tormé penned The Christmas Song (“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire …”)?

Psssssst!

Cold Cream 'n' Roses

Recently, I received an email from PR for Freeman Beauty, and one of the Freeman brands that she promoted was Psssssst! the original spray dry shampoo Psssssst!

Psssst! dry shampoo

Psssssst! That takes me back. As I told PR for Freeman Beauty, I’m old enough to remember the classic Psssssst! radio spot (download) when Psssssst! was a Clairol brand.

Psssssst! – there’s something new | Psssssst! – instant spray shampoo | Clairol freshens your hair – instantly | with P-s-s-s-s-s-s-t | Psssssst! – is not a wet shampoo | oh, no Psssssst! – is not a dry shampoo | oh, no | spray and brush is all you do | then go | ’cause Clairol freshens your hair – instantly | with P-s-s-s-s-s-s-t.

She wrote back:

Haha, I loved your response! That’s right…the ORIGINAL! … Also, I quite like your blog, you keep hinting at your “seasoned” age, but it’s enlightening and refreshing to get perspectives other than the 20-something age group (this is coming from a 24 year old!).

I don’t know whether to feel better or worse. The last time I heard someone described as “seasoned,” another person muttered, “yeah, like compost.” 🙂

  • Curated: Does this pertain to one who has the care and superintendence of something, especially one who is in charge of a museum, zoo, or other place of exhibit? See curator.  “Selected” and “chosen” are better, less pretentious words.
  • Iconic Does this pertain to an image used in religious devotion or worship?  Oh, wait, in the case of Marilyn Monroe, it does:
