This popped into my head today when chatting with a friend about how vintage Bakelite/celluloid hairbrushes have a 50s/60s mom vibe.
They have such a domestic mom tone. Very suburbanite.
A mom who is just really fed up with your attitude, young lady! And is just going to snatch your arm and smack the shit out of your bottom and thighs.
Or something like that. Not my vibe, but a vibe.
