By "pop," I assume that you aren't referring to music?

You assume correctly. I mean pop art, the look that first gained mass popularity in the 60s.

Thanks, iconomy. I'm sending this to all my kitschy females.

They are really cool. I kind of get the feeling sometimes that the Japanese quirky advert (and pop culture) industry derived much of their inspiration from French design.
Excellent post thank you iconomy.

Very nice! This page has a photo of Marie-Claire and Marie-Francine. (Plus some more images on several pages).
