August 24, 2017 - Collage Diva Bonniediva and I joined forces with vintage advertising to produce these two large (8.5 X 11 inches) collages. Bonniediva wrote in a note that came with the pieces: “I love a theme or challenge. I use humor to show some of the terrible ads which targeted women. They border on the surreal! Most of these [Bonniediva’s image contributions] come from a wonderful collection of True Story magazines, 1934…”

From the envelope:

Many thanks to Bonniediva!

Thx Toni. Bonnie is a Diva indeed. She's great to work with. I find tons of old advertising and this is a great way to give it a second life.

These are GREAT! I need me some of that Mercolized Wax!
