I have vacuumed often, but have never broken out into a sweat (if you break out in a sweat, you’re moving that thing too fast), and would never compare vacuuming to mowing the lawn. And a suit is by definition not casual, but a dress can be formal or casual. She in the photo is wearing a casual dress and casual shoes. She is wearing a necklace, but the photo is too small to say what kind.

I’d love to see the “casual suit” that Steve D. wears to mow the grass…. Yes – for cleaning – a dress and pearls is dressed to the nines…. maybe you don’t appreciate how sweat-making vacuuming is – no matter your posture…

Actually, the saddest thing about this is my parents still used a vacuum like that until quite recently (and they’re only in their 50s.)

My mom loves her vac of this type and finally got a new one only because she became infirm and this solid sucker became too cumbersome. Her posture is still good at age 73, though.

They had lightweight, upright vacuum cleaners back then, too, but the one she’s using is a top-of-the-line Electrolux canister vacuum from the era. We had one just like it growing up.

That pic is SOO depressing, like Addams Family/Shining/Suzie Homemaker/Rosemary’s Baby combo.

Is it me, or does the cover font and titling graphics look exactly like the Choose Your Own Adventure paperbacks?

June Cleaver always wore pearls, even when vacuuming. Don’t you?

My mom still has this book, she had forgotten she owned it still. When I had my second baby, she brought it out as a joke. I have to wonder if some of the baby books I own now will be laughed at being obsolete in 30 years from now.
