A friend of mine is selling this kitschy little vintage "Swing Smoke" ashtray. It's all legs and holes (nobody is complaining) and though the actual meaning of "swing" here seems a bit lost on me (swing shift smoke break? sexy swinger? swing from a chandelier?), there is absolutely no debating where one is supposed to insert their nasty little coffin nail (is that supposed to be a pair of lips?!) "Made in Japan" it says on the bottom, further answering for the overall weirdness factor of it all. Also below is a very large, early 80's Philips tanning bed advertising poster that I found, featuring a lovely lady in a swimsuit promoting the idea of tanning beds, uh, while not even actually laying inside of a tanning bed. I imagine most sensible people would prefer to be on a white sandy beach somewhere tropical and catching rays than in an automated, glowing glass press in some tiny strip mall backroom in chilly Wisconsin...
