I have been re-watching “Mad Men”–Most are familiar with the show.

For those who have been living under a rock for the past two decades,:

The series is all about Madison Avenue.

Advertising in The Sixties.

Anyway,

This ‘commercial’

is

Brilliant!

It actually brought a tear to my eye

(See below about how sorry I feel for myself for not taking the time to have a daughter)

An aside:

Damnit! I wish I had a daughter!

What is WRONG With Me? I Cannot Get This Out of my Head. It is well-documented in These Pages How Much I Wish I’d had a Daughter, but… I Cannot Even Begin to Imagine… What I Would Do If I had one and then some asshole…

The Commercial Copywriters were obviously inspired by this classic Ben E. King:

Spanish Harlem

And Yes It is Not Lost On Me That

“Rose” is Metaphor for a Woman

Just like “The Yellow Rose of Texas”

I have a little left of my brain

Y’all

I should have worked in advertising.

Pretty sure I would have been good / great at it.

I understand how it ‘works’
