Eight Day Halloween Advent Calendar - Final Day!

For the final entry in our eight day Halloween advent calendar, I've found a painting that is a little bit racy - but a mile away from the usual witch on a broomstick pin-ups.  I wish that I could be sure of the identity of  the artist who painted this particular illustration, but I haven't been able to track down an artist name, nor the year in which it was painted.

It's a pretty intricate image, complete with the removable witch mask, lacy undergarments, crow, and haunting license. Judging from the style of this witch's flaming red hair I would imagine this painting is from somewhere in the mid-sixties.  This would also help explain the move from the leg shot to a cleavage baring pose.

Happy Halloween everybody!

Eight Day Halloween Advent Calendar - Three More Days...

Only three more days left, and today I have a retro advertisement from the mid-sixties, for Hidden Magic Hairspray.

It looks like the folks at the Hidden Magic company decided to go very literal equating their product with witchcraft.  However, the inclusion of a women in a pointy witch hat, covering the very hair that we are to assume she used Hidden Magic on seems pretty counter-intuitive if you're trying to sell hairspray.  I'm not a fan of the cape that she's wearing either since it pretty much blends into the background and makes it very difficult to figure out what she's doing.  From that darling at the end of her sentence it would seem that the Hidden Magic witch talks like Zsa Zsa Gabor.

But at least there's the handy three paned demo of the hidden magic's powers on the bottom of the page to show us the way.  You too can make your bangs look like a croissant.
