I was a dealer for LeVoy home parties and they were very well recieved. They were well made and lasted quite a long time. I wish they were still in business.

We may not have ads anymore, but I was surprised to find book reviews in a recent Friend!

I loved my LaVoy gown with the cap sleeves and wish they were still in business. Can’t find anything like it in the stores.

I’ve been buried at work the last two days, and the first time I get a chance to take a peek over here, I’m greeted with the most epic layout FAIL I’ve ever seen! Made my day!

And who can forget the ubiquitous Candlestick Salad Candlestick Salad in the Dec 2008 Friend? (Sorry, can't find the picture, but it was the candlestick made of a banana standing up straight and proud in a ring of pineapple. Very unfortunate craft, that one...

Good yuks!

This is what we disgruntled graphic designers do.

So word to the wise: be nice to your designer!

Holy cats, that is awful. What’s worse is that obviously no one noticed that this layout was problematic before it went to print. Bookslinger: okay, but that couple is dressed pretty stodgy. Unlike ms. pegnoir and gown.

Hmm, since it’s a plural possessive, Mark, wouldn’t that make the peignoir intended for the bride (singular) of the Seventies (plural)? Oh, dear. That must be why the First P’s jaws’ are dropping!

Good catch, Niklas. The apostrophe makes it clear–that lovely peignoir is intended only for the bride of a Seventy. (Of course, in 1970 there were Seventies Quorums in the stakes–and they weren’t just old men.)
