I’ve been an Avon Rep since 1986 and I have the entire Cape Cod collection. I didn’t start collecting until it was discontinued so it cost me a fortune. I remember all these great products and brochures. Thanks for the videos, I am enjoying!
i also have a weakness for the 1980s pastel southwest chic! i always look forward to your uploads!! i love how your subdued & funny personality compliments the flip thrus without being overwhelming or distracting. you're a gem!!!
Love looking back at the old Avon time , I use to be a Avon lady in uk loved doing it beautiful products I wish it would come back again, but back in the 80s it was a great idea
The 80ies. My roaring years. We were young, sexy and pretty. I loved the clothes for guys during those years. All the silk, all those wonderful colors. Just have a look at Miami Vice and Don Johnson I used to be an Avon "Gentleman" selling all that stuff. So this brochure was a real time tunnel for me bringing back my golden years. Thank you so much! Plus you are a good looking guy, too!
Great video, this was such a trip! My mom was a big Avon shopper, I remember having many of these toiletries in our home growing up. We would often receive Flavor Savers as stocking stuffers and I can still remember exactly what buttercrunch tasted like; very sweet, sort of buttery cocoa caramel.
My mom used to be an Avon rep! I loved looking through the catalogs and pretending to pick out things. I wish I archived them. I wonder if Avon still has catalogs.
LOVE the HOT GOSS. I bet the small size for top of the pile theory is correct, but I also think they’re small because you didn’t want it to be super visible while flipping through it at your desk after Debrah from the typing pool delivered it to you.
Omg, this took me back. People used to pass around the Avon catalogs at work and my mom would bring them home so I could look through them. I remember having some of these products as a little girl. If you ever want to collaborate on a video with a "vintage" lady of a certain age to reminisce about these catalogs or products, let me know! ❤
Great work as always! These are such a fun way to wrap up a Sunday! Thanks Cole!
Thanks for watching, Callum!
definitely one of my favourite historical channels on the platform 😸
Ooooh I never really thought of myself as a historical channel - but I like that. Thank you! :)
@@ColeChickering congratulations, you are a modern historian 🥳🥳🥳
Thanks you Cole for this!! I too love looing through these catalogs!

That photo of the kid with the knife next to his dad!!!!??? That was amazing lol. ☠️
The catalog really needed that masculine energy balance.
both adult boy and daddy (what sort of????) handsome

Thank you!! Glad to have you here - and happy to know we share an appreciation for soft, sunbaked desert decor.
I think that is 80s super model Kelly Emberg on the cover
I think you’re right!!

Wow, that must have been so amazing - what a great era to be working for Avon. More Avon content coming in 2023, so stay tuned!
I remember so many of these in our house back then.

Fascinating! Thank you for the buttercrunch flavor description, I was so curious.
So many famous models on this issue! @ 6:09 Flavor Savers w/ Shari Headley! and @15:14 Summer Pastels w/ René Russo
Only the best for Avon
I had those identical earrings like the one on the model on the cover! Thanks Cole, and yes, I’m old as dirt! 😊
Lucky you - those earrings were cute, and they still are!

Wow! Lucky you, that would be so fun.
The girls in my school would try to collect all the lip balms, I always had the same 3, cherry, strawberry and peach. 💖
I always like peach scented/flavored stuff 🍑
That’s the size the Avon books were in uk
I didn’t know avon sold so much stuff other than makeup!
They have whole fashion catalogs too… I’ll try to track one down for a future video.
LOVE the HOT GOSS.
