Did you buy this magazine? Can you scan it?

I ran out and bought Vanity Fair. Looked for ad and found it. Good taste in
advertising. Next time I am at Neiman Marcus will check out Marc Jacob
Fragrance. Like sample in Magazine, asked my husband if he liked it, he did
which is good as I will wear it when we go out. Might be a Christmas
present. I will call it my UFO perfume. Elaine

I have in front of me the November issue of Vanity Fair, and I've
gone through every page, yet I didn't see anything with UFO in it!
What page is this on?

Well, not all Vanity Fair magazines are created equally I guess. On
the version I have (which is indeed the music issue), on page 137
there is an ad for Style.Com. This is opposite of the DKNY Vanity
Fair in concert page.

Thanks for the scan!

However, the scan is so small that I *still* do not see anything
resembling a UFO photo...

Marc:

I could be wrong, but I think somewhere in the middle is a blond guy that
looks like Straker. But I think I'm wrong. :)

Also -- it's possible that it was a regional ad, with your region getting
something different.

Probably so... I don't think there are any Marc Jacobs stores in
Washington state, so there'd be no point in advertising it here...

Perhaps Photoshop enlargement might help?
Just a thought anyway.

There's not enough resolution in the original scan! But Anthony's
right -- it looks like there's a UFO postcard just left of center.

A UFO postcard which looks like this:

Looks like the UFO card to me.

Yes! I can only make out his Ed-ness (verrrry slightly), but I bet that's the
one.

I have one of these myself - it was sent to me by the ATV (British)
television system in reply to my request for some photos. It arrived in 1971
and I still have it. They later sent me autographed cards by Ed B. and Mike
B. which I also still have. Pam

Hey, now that I know what I'm looking for, I was able to make out the card
in that very small ad! Pam

Yes, Amelia we know you only have eyes for his Edness. Heck, you can spot a
photo of Ed from 50 yards with one eye closed in a dimly light room!

OK, I made a tiny version of the postcard and then a rotated clip of the
advert and put them together. There is absolutely no doubt now. Also
about the advert, it would appear that the creator of it used real images
pasted to a board and then photographed the lot. The UFO postcard he used
clearly shows some curl.

It's here in the files section:

Wow - my own UFO art card is in such pristine shape by comparison. Keeping
it flat for 32 yrs paid off, ha ha! But thanks for doing all that work so we
could at least realize what they used for the ad. Pam

"SHADO: for the girl who likes to kick ass" lol.

(sorry, Amelia).
