Celebrate Valentine's Day with the loveliest lady of all - your Avon Lady! Join me for this romantically charged flip through of super old school classic Avon wares from 1979. Featuring the very best in corny Valentine's Day classics: frilly white lace trim, tall taper candles, red roses paired with pink carnations, (fake) gold jewelry, and even a surprise guest appearance by Christie Brinkley!
Hang out with me every Sunday for commentary on vintage 80s, 90s, and 2000s magazine advertisements, fashion, culture, food, and kids' stuff.
Do you have a magazine or book I might like? Send it my way and it could be featured in an upcoming video.

I sold Avon several times over the decades. It’s a good product and I feel, very underrated. Love your videos!

Thanks for watching! :)

I'd forgotten about the stickpin craze in the 70s! So many girls in school wore them in their cowl-neck sweaters.

A perfect combo!

OMG I had the Good Fairy perfume when I was in kindergarten. Her wand glowed in the dark.

So cute! I much prefer this to all the junk in stores now. My cat watched this whole video and she doesn't even like TV, must be doing something right 😅

I loved what you did with the background sounds in this video, very engaging 😁 it's also really cool that you got your hands on one that somebody filled out. I always love finding old annotated books, helps me feel connected to the past

Totally! Finding some trace of the previous owner is always a treasure.

i love that they went all out with oversimplified, ultra sweet Valentines aesthetic but also somehow managed to give it such a weird, haunting vibe with The Ghost of Valentines Past cover model. get you a girl who can do both, I guess lol

Ha! Yes, a versatile queen!

Yes, Avon is back! Thanks for staying up to watch :)

Avon is mostly about fragrance and also perfume decanters with many adorable and quirky shapes 😆😆 Maybe you can slowly own some of them in the future 😁😁

@ColeChickering 6 ай бұрын

I'd be down to sniff some ancient Avon perfumes.

@unlicensedmorgue990 6 ай бұрын

I am so obsessed with the 70s/80s valentine's day aesthetic. Heart shape tubs, dark red roses, white lace!! It all owns my heart!!!

@ColeChickering 6 ай бұрын

I agree! I think my actual heart may secretly just be a red construction paper heart with a paper doily glued to it.

@fashionlover1732 6 ай бұрын

finally some AVON ;D pls look for the more modern catalogs as well,like from 2000's and up,or at least from the late 80's and 90's omg or the ORIFLAME ones! ;OOO

@ColeChickering 6 ай бұрын

I have late 80s/90s catalogs coming up in the near future! It’s a little hard to find y2k era unfortunately.

@tinahealy-leather1772 6 ай бұрын

This was so fun, Cole! I’ve been selling since 1986 but I still remember these 70’s catalogs that my mom got. Ariane! Loved it! I had quite a few decanters and bottles with that scent. You mentioned Raisin Wine enamel- that was one of my best sellers! Avon today is nothing like the old Avon of yore- thank you for sharing! ❤️

@ColeChickering 6 ай бұрын

Raisin Wine... maybe it sells so well because people are transfixed by that inventive name. My mom was recently telling me about getting Sweet Honesty when she was a teen, given as a Christmas gift each year from her mother - Avon runs in the family apparently!

@tinahealy-leather1772 6 ай бұрын

Sweet Honesty is still such a huge seller! I actually delivered an order to a customer yesterday that had ordered Sweet Honesty deodorant and it’s still out of stock since before Christmas! It’s very popular!

My mum had a basket of what seemed like 100s of different kinds of soaps on the back of the toilet growing up. You just don’t see that anymore lol.

@ColeChickering 5 ай бұрын

Ha! When I was a child, my grandma also had decorative soaps that were separate from the real soap you were actually supposed to use. Soap is beautiful I guess?

I like the Hawaiian White Ginger psychedelic packaging on the soap for 99 cents.

Omg this is so up my street, I love retro valentine’s aesthetic, I was secretly hoping you would do something with a wedding theme soon and this really satisfies that need! I used to have a cushion that looked exactly like a bigger version of that sachet.
