Avon Catalog (1979) Scans

I have a lot of fun revisiting old magazines and catalogs, as they're such time capsules into old trends. I have quite a few magazines and catalogs that I want to scan! Here is one of my handful of old Avon catalogs from the 70s!

Now, I have to lead off with stating the fact that I do not support MLMs at all. 

MLM stands for multi-level-marketing. There are tons of companies, such as Avon, that run on this “business model”. They operate on a structure of people enrolling into teams to sell products to earn commission. In reality, they are essentially pyramid schemes, and most people involved in these “companies” end up losing large amounts of money. 

You can read more about the impact of MLM companies and the damage they do here. I just wanted to make it known that I am aware Avon is an MLM company. Outside of scanning these catalogs for archival reasons, I do not support Avon (or MLMs in general) as a business.

I am scanning these catalogs because I find them (and just all catalogs in general) to be interesting time capsules into the types of products available for purchase at different points in time. And Avon does have many neat products, especially from this time period. This is purely for my curiosity and interest, not to promote Avon as a company.

。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

Okay, now that that’s said and done, I wanted to share some scans from this catalog!

I already showed off the front cover, promoting some kind of perfumed talc powder spray. Talc powders used to be a huge beauty item.

The back cover is promoting a deal on shampoo. 88 cents?! That’s a steal in today’s money…but probably even back then, too.  

I couldn't find an exact month for this catalog. The identifiers are Campaign 15 from 1979. Going by the listed date of price expiration on July 22nd, I'm guessing this catalog was distributed sometime in the first half of the year. Or maybe a month or few weeks before July 22nd.

I did edit out the address and phone number of Miss Nancy, for her privacy. I did leave her first name because I personally just love knowing that items once belonged to someone. Does that make sense? 

Like, I wonder what Miss Nancy was like. Was she young in 1979? Was she old? A mother? A wife? Do you think she ordered any of the items from this catalog? If she did, did she enjoy them? Or think they were absolute garbage? 

I guess we will never know. But I think it is nice to know that there was a Miss Nancy back in the day, excitedly waiting for her newest Avon catalog. Or maybe she was annoyed to receive the catalog because she forgot to cancel her subscription or membership.

Either way, now I (and you!) get to view this catalog that once belonged to Miss Nancy.

。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

Here are some of my favorite highlights of the catalog. Most of them are model photos, simply because it’s such a treat to me to see photos of people in 70s fashion and makeup. I’ll include some product pages as well though!

。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

Let’s start with jewelry related scans!

This couple photo is just…so sweet to me. I know it’s an advertisement, but I love how he is looking at her, and how she is looking at us. I actually really love the jewelry advertised, too. I’d totally pick up a bracelet if I could!

Same goes for this leaf necklace and earrings set.

And these bee earrings.

And this butterfly necklace.

These models are SO beautiful and stunning. There is definitely a crazy amount of editing on them, but it’s kind of charming to see this old fashioned “glamour” style again.

Lastly, here is a page of “teen” jewelry.

Sad to say, not really a fan! They look rather cheap. It’s a bummer because most of the jewelry we just saw that was aimed for the adult women look quite pretty and of decent quality.

。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

Let’s move on to some scans from the makeup section!

As much as I love the “swatches” edited on the sides of these eyeshadow pencils, I think I’d have to pass on these.

The pink and brown ones look pretty nice in the photos, but the poor blues and greens look a mess to me. Maybe they were better in person? Perhaps for $2.99 I’d be willing to give them a shot. 

Here are a couple model photos I like from the makeup section of the catalog.

Love her dress, hair, and choker! And the bunny, of course. This picture goes along with different colors of lipstick and nail polish. I actually really do like her nails now that I look at them. The colors offered aren’t bad at all, even if they are mostly red.

So beautiful! Can’t be a 70s pic without a daisy. Her blouse is so cute, it’s something I’d totally gravitate towards in a store.

Here’s a page of some flavored chapsticks.

I’m such a sucker for flavored chapsticks, I’d buy all these in a heartbeat! Well…maybe not the chocolate one. Never been a fan of chocolate flavored/scented cosmetics.

Lastly, here is an assorted cosmetics page.

The colors of the potted eyeshadow intrigue me. It seems like the trend was all reds, pinks, and peach tones for nails and lips, with bold blues and greens for eyeshadow. That’s my take away from this specific catalog. I kinda like it though!

。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

One thing I KNOW Avon was (is?) well known for are their cologne and perfume decanters. At least, vintage Avon was. I’m not sure if Avon currently still sells them. They seem like such an old trend, but I know they are still considered collector’s items today.

This catalog has quite a few pages dedicated to them.

Like this horse one!

Gotta say, I was a bit surprised when I flipped to this spread. It is actually kind of cute though, if you’re into horses. And only $4.99! If I was a horse girl, I’d definitely consider it.

Here’s a couple more animal decanters.

Gotta say, the Little Burro decanter is SO cute. It’s tempting me. As is the Sweet Tooth Terrier. Remember when that was a thing in cartoons and tv shows? Wrapping a bandage like that around your head and jaw when your tooth hurt? 

I think it was to hold an ice pack or medicine against your jaw/teeth so your hands were free. Funnily enough, I googled it real quick and found this thread, from AR15.com (???) of all places, discussing this. I just had to include this because it is so funny to me.

Here is another page of decanters.

I do love that classical lady and the watering pail decanters. I can see why these became collectible items, I kinda want a couple for myself after looking at these!

。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

To end with, here are some scans from the perfume and bath section of the catalog!

Love her makeup and dress! She looks so beautiful!

Same with this woman! Her hair is chef's kiss for me. Big fan of the peachy lip color on her.

Also hey! Isn't that the rainbow hat worn by the chapstick girl?! Lol!

The caption is funny out of context. Sweet Honesty is an Avon fragrance. Some of the decanters shown earlier come with this scent of perfume in them. But I also think it works as a good relationship quote.

Oh, to be this woman in a nice, warm bath.

Why does that water look so nice! Why is that bathtub SO BIG?! I feel like I'm missing out.

Or to be this woman, pouring water on herself with a giant shell.

Bathing has really gone downhill, huh? Where is MY giant shell bathing pitcher?!

And finally, I saved the best for last. Check out this guy from the men’s spray talc advertisement.

Now THAT’S a 70s fashion moment. Wish there were more men featured in the catalog, I'm living for their looks.

。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

Hope you enjoyed the scans! As always, you can view the whole catalog and higher quality scans over on my Internet Archive account.

I also have uploaded some of the above images on my nostaliga photoblog, so feel free to check that out too if you like just reblogging the images!

I have more Avon catalogs to scan, as well as a few Delia’s catalogs. That’s not even including the many magazines I need to get to scanning…so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!

Springtime!

Happy first day of Spring, Barbie!

(I mean, not for me. For me, March 1 is the first day of Autumn. But I assume the majority of my followers are from the Northern Hemisphere.)

To celebrate the spirit of the season, here are a few Springtime Barbies. For example, remember when Mattel for some reason had a collaboration with direct sales company Avon? As a part of that, there was a series of Spring-themed Barbies available as Avon-exclusives.

Spring Petals and Spring Blossoms feel like they have some internal consistency, and then Spring Tea Party goes off on a bit of a tangent. Perhaps it's because Spring Bouquet, as a doll name, was already taken.

But of course, there are Spring themed Barbies that were released in places other than direct sales catalogs. For example, 2000's Goddess of Spring Barbie, in her beautiful lavender gown.

Or perhaps 2005's I Dream of Spring is more up your alley. I can't imagine why, as Goddess of Spring is clearly the frontrunner, but there's no accounting for taste.

I do collect Barbies! This genuinely isn’t me trying to brag or sound arrogant, but all of my 59 Barbies I currently have are collector/special/limited edition. I like them not because of their status, but because their clothing/quality was so well done. They’re from the late 90s to 2000s.

I’m not gonna list them all of course, but I think you’ll like these as a lot listed are historical/time period inspired outfits. Let me know though if you have different/more style preferences and I’ll try to find some to share with you again.

Barbie Cafe Society

Barbie Faberge Porcelain (3 in series)

Barbie Great Fashions of the 20th Century (7 in series)

Barbie Hollywood Movie Star (6 in series)

Barbie Mrs. P.F.E. Albee: Avon (2 in series)

Barbie Royal Jewels (4 in series)

Barbie Victorian Tea Porcelain (2 in series)

Barbie Victorian with Cedric Bear

Barbie Wedgwood (2 in series)

The website I used when collecting is https://barbieguide.sosugary.com/index.php

It’s a great catalog of Barbie releases. You’ll find a lot more historical inspired dolls on there, and Barbie makes excellent porcelain dolls too that I think you’ll like.

And tips if you’re interested in fashion doll collecting…

Don’t buy newer collector/special/limited edition dolls from Mattel. They’re worse quality for outrageously more money. Trust me on this. (A lot of my collector Barbies I was able to get for $30-$40 USD new in box, compared to the $100+ USD price tag Mattel charges now for collector dolls).

Mattel has been declining in quality ever since 2016 (probably earlier) and is still going lower present day. So if you’re interested in good quality play-line or collector dolls, try to get pre 2016.

Mattel dolls most of the time have polypropylene hair, which is considered the worst hair quality fiber as it literally disintegrates over a few years and isn’t easily brushsble/stylable.

Mattel also gives most of their dolls cheap paper-like printed clothing or molded on clothes.

If you want quality, buy MGA. They have nylon hair (easily brushsble, stylable, and won’t disintegrate). Much higher quality clothes/fabrics with intricate details and complex designs.

Mattel=Quantity

MGA=Quality

Thank you for your time!

That's cool to hear :))) it's nice to find someone that shares the interest of dolls, even if it's a different kind! Although I learned a lot, thank you♡ I'll check out the older styled ones!!

I'm not very interested in fashion dolls (apart from those from the 1800s) so unfortunately I'm sticking to my child looking dolls, which is why I kind of like the American girl dolls that are supposed to look like 1900s/1800s

I'm going to take this opportunity to brag about my girls as if they were my children. Here are my some of my older dolls<3

Just like you say about Barbies, these dolls also have limited editions (such as the discontinued one with a very, very uncanny voice box from the 1880s) unfortunately, I don't have any of them. BUT, I do have two from the most famous doll makers, Kestner and Armand Marseille<3 Always have to look for the markings that tell exactly which model they are

And I have one special girl who I call Darling who has human hair!!

And I just have to squeeze this in, when I was in Belfast I got to see a doll I have been such a big fan of for so many years. It's a doll that was floating around in the wreckage and actually seeing her up close in real life made me tear up in pure happiness. She was absolutely stunning, and I think she might (just might) be a similar model to my doll with the red boots, but i could get a good luck of her neck to see the "tag". Here she is!!

I just had to, dolls are one of my biggest interest and i have to take every chance i get♡

"Let's hit the clubs!"

One of the most memorable things about Dual Strike is the way Jake talks–super casual, lots of music and club references, and dropping slang like it’s 1999–circa 2005. One of the things you might pick up when looking up Dual Strike is this Jake mostly just exists in the English version–the Japanese version has the polite John who is “calm for his age” and likes to think before he speaks. As for the European versions, I remember he tends to be something between the two.

One of things I’ve wanted to do is catalog all of Jake’s music references from the English version and see how it’s translated in the other versions. If Jake/John doesn’t refer to music at all then what DOES he talk about instead?

Let’s find out.

Disclaimers as always, I’m using machine translators such as Google Translate and Deep L. All impressions and interpretations are mine. These same words could come off differently depending on the reader, especially ones fluent in these languages.

English

“Hey, Rachel, we rule! Let’s hit the clubs!” “You’re a fast learner! I can barely keep up.”

Japanese

“勝ちました、レイチェルさん!” “ぐんぐん成長してるわね。私も負けられないわ!”

"We won, Rachel!"* "You're growing up so fast. I can't lose either!"

French

“Rachel, nous les avons vaincus!” “Tu apprends vite! Tu veux me dépasser?”

"Rachel, we defeated them!" "You're a fast learner! Do you want to surpass me?"

Italian

“Rachel, abbiamo vinta!” “Stai imparando in fretta! Ti tengo testa a fatica!”

"Rachel, we won!" "You're learning fast! I'm barely keeping up with you!"

German

“Wir haben gewonnen, Kommandantin!” “Du lernst schnell! Ich komme kaum noch mit!”

"We won, Commander!" "You're a fast learner! I can hardly keep up!"

Spanish

“Rachel, ¡hemos ganado!” “¡Vas aprendiendo rápido, soldado!”

"Rachel, we won!" "You're learning fast, soldier!"

*John calls her Rachel-san. He uses the -san honorific with pretty much everybody but Colin. If I recall correctly, he’s the only character in the game (and series) who does this.

So pretty much the same idea...except Jake really wants to hit those clubs.

I gotta ask–what clubs, Jake?
