They call me "Breck Girl"

This is hilarious. One of the ladies who works here told me that I remind her of "the Breck girl" from the old shampoo ads. This is what wikipedia says about it:

"In 1930 Dr. John H. Breck, Sr. (June 5, 1877 - Feb 1965) founded Breck Shampoo of Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1936, son Edward J. Breck assumed management of Breck Shampoo and hired commercial artist Charles Gates Sheldon (1889-1961) to draw women for their advertisements. Sheldon's early portraits for Breck were done in pastels, with a soft focus and haloes of light and color surrounding them. He created romantic images of feminine beauty and purity. He preferred to draw "real women" as opposed to professional models."

Hilarious. Here are some pictures of the various "Breck" girls that exist:
