So, are those Hush Puppies for men or women? I don't understand that ad.

Hush Puppies were men's shoes, but this has me puzzled. And I've been in advertising since 1977.

@lloyd read the small print.

I remember in the late Sixties, a clothes company called Austin Reed advertised a range to try and stop you smoking as "the jacket to jack it off in". This expression was no well known over here at the time. Wacko.

It is of the time. For "Libs" (womens liberation) it would have been "Squares" ten years earlier.

@Brian: are 'brothel creepers' a real thing or did you make it up? I like it.

melinda, no I really should have compared Hush Puppies with desert boots.
Brothel creepers are what Teddy Boys wore over here in the late Fifties. Along with Drape jackets . Honest.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:31am
Stevel:

Are Brothel Creepers related to Winklepickers?

Thanks Brian, I believe you. I've always confused desert boots with Wallabees.
  11:34am
lloyd michigan:

Are desert boots chukka boots?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:35am
Brian in UK:

No way brothel creepers are sort of crepe soles and round toed but winkle pickers, as the name implies are pointed and screw your feet up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:35am
Stevel:

Heck, Lloyd, I just like saying Winklepicker, out loud.

I'm sure somewhere in the world, it's offensive.

I guess winkle pickers comes from the ability to pick a winkle shellfish from its shell as it is pointed.

Phew enough.

Haven't heard the Hollies' take on "Rock" in a boatload of time. If memory serves (questionable at my age), that was the first version of that song I ever heard.
