Naturally, having started down the Miss Springmaid road, they had to push the limits of mainstream ads further.
So was born the series, "Miss Springmaid Plays House," utilizing the common euphemism for having sex. (along with "Playing Doctor" this was a very common expression in the 50's and 60's and cold almost be used in polite company). Though o nudity was used, the girls did sometimes wear suggestive clothes.

Where are Springmaid today? South Korea, Taiwan or Bangldesh?
 
The head of Springmaid in this time was Elliott White Springs, the Lancaster, SC native who became a World War I flying ace. Springs had a confirmed record of 11 “kills” by the end of the war and stood as the fifth-ranking American ace.

I've joked about the "art" references ere, but the Springmaid ads are a wonderful part of the popular art of the time. If you would, I recommend reading the first article below from "The Vintage Traveler" (appropriate for this thread) about an exhibit at the SC State Museum called "Between the Springmaid Sheets" that showed in 2013

Is there a version in which the strands include small wooden beads perhaps, for the administration of severe pain? I happen to be in need of one. :rolleyes:
Beads available at woodpeckerscrafts.com. But you have to tie them on yourself. :oops:

Right at the bottom, in Barb-proof type, it admits these pics are the model on which the doll was based. When a colleague got a job involving much travelling away from girlfriend, we bought him a blow-up as a leaving present, it looked like
