This One’s For The Family

mgl_rheingold_girl_sm.jpg If you are over 50, or share my last name, then you’ll be familiar with Miss Rheingold. For a couple decades from WWII until 1964, each year Rheingold Beer (made by Liebmann Brewery in Brooklyn, NY) would pick a Miss Rheingold woman in her twenties, in beauty pagent-style but actually based upon her wholesomeness and personality.

She was always depicted in stylish but practical clothes. Acting rakish, but always fitting right in. A classy woman doing family things, with a beer in her hand. She had a full chest and was the woman you and your mother always wished you brought home.

A couple months back Molly did a photo shoot with our friend Tony Pham, and on this, our anniversary week, I have to say this shot completely embodies MY ideal woman.

Below you can see some Miss Rheingold memorabilia from around the Internet. I think I should start collecting them.
