Maybelline's Wonder Woman, Linda Carter


Provocative and Sexy Maybelline's
 Super Hero!!!


best known for being Miss World USA and as the star of the 1970s television series, The New Original Wonder Woman (1975–77) and The New Adventures of Wonder Woman (1977-79).





Maybelline's Wonder Woman, 1984.



Wonder Woman is a warrior Princess of the Amazons (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and was created by Marston, an American, as a "distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men."[2] Known in her homeland as Diana of Themyscira, her powers include superhuman strength, flight ( even though the original Wonder Woman did not have this ability), super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility. She is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in the art of tactical warfare. She also possesses an animal-like cunning and a natural rapport with animals, which has in the past been presented as an actual ability to communicate with the animal kingdom. She uses her Lasso of Truth, which forces those bound by it to tell the truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in some stories, an invisible airplane.

Wonder Woman - Linda Carter... Maybelline's beauty fashion coordinator and face of the 1980's

In the 1980's Maybelline received a boost when the company hired Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter as the company's beauty fashion coordinator; she also appeared in several of its television and print advertisements.

Linda Carter appeared as Maybelline’s “face” for 13 years.




Stay tuned next week when Maybelline is acquired by
the investor group Wasserstein Perella & Co. in 1990,
for $300 million dollars. 

"Maybe she's born with it, Maybe it's Maybelline"
advertising tagline is created during this era.  The tagline continues to be recognized around the world.

LYNDA CARTER, MAYBELLINE'S FACE OF THE 1980s.

To answer Linda @youpleasureme44's question:  How has Maybelline changed over the last 30 years? I dug through these old commercials to present a first hand view of fashion in the 1980's along with Maybelline's new product line.
 When my great uncle Tom Lyle Williams owned and operated the Maybelline Company from 1915 through 1967, Maybelline was strictly for the Eyes, but by the 1980's, Maybelline products included lipstick, face makeup moisturizing cream, lip Gloss and blush.  Nail Polish was still a way's off, but would eventually be included in Maybelline New York's line.
So Linda, remember that first time you walked into the drugstore to purchase your first mascara at 14 and twriled the display center so fast the product's flew all over the floor?  There were so many more choices in 1984, than your mother had when she was a girl... but the one thing you knew...was that Maybelline represented quality for a sensible price... just like your mother and her mother counted on decades before!!! Please enjoy a walk down memory lane and let me know what memories come up for you!!!
