Take a bath with Sophia Loren
This sexy soap commercial for Lux from 1981 reminds me of my grandmother. I always thought she looked a little like Sophia Loren - and she always smelled like soap and roses. Anyways, this Australian spot is remarkably un-dated... except for the font at the end.
Russell Crowe as a pastor? Could've happened....
Now that Russell Crowe has matriculated -- he needs some direction in his life. In this ad for Australia's finest Christian college, Avondale College from the 80s is quite funny. To think, he could have become a minister instead of movie star if the other guy was a better salesman. I wonder if Avondale would approve of throwing fits and throwing phones?
Crunchie Candy a la Naomi
Another Australian 80s spot from Naomi Watts, this time for Cadbury's Crunchie candybar. I think they sell these under another name in England - but it's that creepy honeycomb, chocolate concoction. Basically, it's honey flavored styrofoam covered with chocolate. Anyways... give one a try and colour your day too. Whatever the hell that means!
