Rubber Beauty Masks ca. 1921

Those were the days.

In our series “blog about stuff you found Tumblr before it’s gone”, Dutch’ first ever quiz. Be smart and don’t bother. Just scroll down for the answer.

Here is your question. Is the image above:

a)    a screenshot from the next Quentin Tarentino movie? (The answer is no because the director prefers women’s feet.)

or

b)    an advertisement for 1920’s women’s facial masks? (That’s what it says on Tumblr. Personally I think it is a dream come true and the Secret Society of Sadistic Secretaries does exist after all.)

Now for the anwer:

If you chose a), please go back to school and learn how to read properly (alternatively, stop looking at her feet).

On the other hand, if you choose b), congratulations. It’s an 1921 image of rubber beauty masks, worn to remove wrinkles and blemishes.

Yes, I know, hard to believe. Good old days, bla bla. Still it’s odd, no matter how often you look at it.
