Be My Vintage Valentine

Happy Valentine's day. If you're not the type for romantic plans, I hope you at least enjoy some chocolate or the fact that it's Friday. Today, we're taking a stroll through the past fashion of Valentine's day from the cards to the magazine covers to the pin-ups to the advertisements (after all, what's Valentine's day without ads).

"Like music from my transistor, I can't resist you!"

"Wooden shoe like to be my Valentine?" (1950s Mouseketeer Card)
