Duro Decals

I swear I've posted about Duro Decals here at AEET before, but checking my archive I'm not finding a dang thing. So here's a few that I actually unearthed the other day, and oddly enough, in a few various places around at a giant antique mall, though they seem to be numerically a set and in order (426A, 426B, 426C) though each sheet also came in its own Duro Decal packet. Now as much as I love the sexy silhouettes doing their Sally Rand bubble art deco dance moves, it's that adorable Duro Decal packet collage of children covering their playthings (and furniture) with their decals that I adore the most, haha... wait, I guess I shouldn't laugh, I did the same thing when I was a kid with my Wacky Packages and Monster Initials stickers!

Some things never change, I have seen stickers on a lamp post near my local Michael's craft store, and one on a traffic light at a nearby mall.

Would the bubble girls be considered bubble ballerinas?

Don't remind me of all the Marvel joke series, Wacky Packages, and other stickers I carelessly stuck to stuff and are gone forever!

Ha ha, I'd love to have had the kiddie bedroom with these exotic dancers posted all over the furniture. The gothic lovechild of Lisa Frank and Femlins.

Pretty sure there's a difference between ballet and burlesque, but I could be wrong ;)

But yeah, the childhood door to my room as a kid was covered in every non-sport funny sticker you can image. I remember the day we moved and being VERY upset that we weren't taking my door with us!
