That red/orange skirt suit is the spittig image of a 1930s I bought recently off ebay. The model looks very smart in her tailored outfit and so very different from Avon Lady Victor. depicted recently in Jezebel, who touts his goods in his paint splattered workmen's clothes.

I can still remember my mom's Avon lady. Her name was Bernita. My mom loves Avon's perfume, "Candid." Still wears it today.

Aw, I read the comments on the Daily Mail page and now I'm annoyed. Is it possible for a photo of a woman to be published without someone making a shitty comment about it?

@NellMood: The American poster has attracted negative scores from other Daily Mail readers, which is an encouraging sign.

@NellMood: Plus it's the Daily Mail the audience of which is people who buy their newpaper to read articles chastising women, immigrants and fat shaming celebrities - the trifecta of DM reportage.

All I can think of when I hear "Avon" is a poor purple-faced Edward Scissorhands.

@bananastand: Just close your eyes and imagine twirling in the snow while Danny Elfman's song "Ice Dance" plays in the background...I do that atleast once a week.

@CurtCole: I'll try, but I'll inevitably end up on the floor, rocking back and forth and sobbing "They loved him, then they turned on him!"

I'm sure a "let's all go door to door" comment would be a little on the nose.
