Cute Novelty Print

[TheVintagePeddler]

on this maxi, huh?

But what to call it?
She looks like Jeanie from I dream of Jeanie with her little harem outfit but he looks Roman don't you think? I am confused. Why is she cutting his hair? Help me out on keywords. The salvage printing is offset so I think it says An Original Wamsutta Mills Print "Banned in Boston" - what the heck does that mean??

more arabian nights than roman, though l get your drift!!

Yeah, weird! If you Google "Wamsutta" there are no references to anything Asian or Middle Eastern. Her outfit looks Middle eastern, but that stuff on her head almost looks Thai.

The never-cut locks on the guy - isn't that a Sikh thing? But, he's getting them cut.

Confusing. Maybe it's just a stylized thing from the depths of some "Banned in Boston" person's head!

You can always write the company.

Wouldn't that be Samson and Delilah?

Great print!

(And I have no idea why it would be banned in Boston...)

 

[TheVintagePeddler]

Carrie- gawk! I am so muddle-brained. Of course it is Samso & Delilah! Thank you so much!

Still pondering the Banned in Boston thing though

 

[Coutureallure]

We ban everything in Boston.

Samson and Delilah? Not up on my that much religious stuff.

It is religious, right??

 

[TheVintagePeddler]

lol...okay, apparently the phrase banned in boston is a common phase because apparently they do bann everything there.

We ban everything in Boston.

Janine--for a little biblical brushup, see Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 extravaganza "Samson & Delilah" (with Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr, whose name got parodied in a Mel Brooks movie if memory serves...)

 

[hipvintage]

Which Brooks movie?

 

[cmpollack]

Blazing Saddles--Harvey Korman played "Hedley Lamarr", the land-snatching politician who keeps having his name confused with the actress'.
