WTF Wednesday: Trim Twist, $19 Bride, Rockstar Jesus

Bonjour, Wednesday! Bonjour, WTF!

Before there was youtube, people learned how to make things by reading books like the Family Creative Workshop 24 volume set. (1976) 

Things such as Candy Wreaths:

And Pulley Cable Glides:

Nothing says “Country” like cufflinks and a director’s chair in a wheat field.

Trim Twist was a 1968 exercise fad where CEO’s were expected to stand on a 1 foot square lazy Susan and twist.

This one unfortunately warped and no longer twisted.

But if it still worked, a boss and his secretary could twist all day to this kind of music:

This beautiful bride was 3 feet tall and nineteen dollars.  Priciest thing in the store – you can get a new couch at goodwill for less than that.

Last but not least, a couple of Jesuses.  Jesus’s blond phase (1942).
