The gesture, I mean. I have seen various member photos with people doing this.
What's the meaning of this?

Don't tell!
It's a secret member pose. You have to have something Frigidaire 1957 to do it! We let Austin slide even though his is a 59!
Kidding! The sheer look! Would somebody post a picture? I'm to lazy to scan one.

What's this
In 1956,FRIGIDAIRE pioneered the new style in major appliances again by taking away the rounded edges which were the usual norm in design at that period and brought out appliances in new pastel colors with more sharp,right amgled edges and less "old fassioned" design.they called it the "Shear Look" and advertised it using beautiful female models wearing chiffon dresses and full length , white silk gloves standing in front of or next to these fabulous appliances with their glove covered arms together in the same position as you saw in the picture showing off the "shear look" to millions of readers around the world.

Video worth a thousand words...
I see, I see. I was struck by the participants playing it straight right up to the end. Advertising in the new millenium would have forced them to be ridiculed within the commercial. My own Ernie Kovacs memories made me think that something funny would happen as well. That sort of black-and-white production, and the music, are just as I remember from the Kovacs show. Only there, something amusing would occur during the mock commercial.

It's actually a cryptic gesture that only the elite members of the club can use. It's meaning is even more cryptic with references going back to the ancient Egyptions.
Learning the meaning of this gesture involves participation in certain "rituals" that are also secret and cryptic which involves lots of nudity, lewd acts and most of all, intense pain administered by our Frigidaire Queen himself, Tog... ummm.. it's a secret hehehehehe.
Just kidding, as the above said, Austin is imitating the lady in the video.

Washer: $399.95, Dryer: $299.95, Girl: $300/hr
LOL.
Scary thing is the most popular washer that Sears had while I was working there part-time after my my accounting day-job was $399.99, and it was fairly decent, not BOL.
Jason:
Ditch her, she'd snap in half after "hello". Never mind your personality, full-thrust.
Besides, she's probably Greek and hiding her moustache!
Think VALUE Jason, the washer will be doing loads for 20 years after you pay for it.

Those prices (for the machines, I dunno about the girl) seem quite high for 1957. Consider that a 2-speed, 12-cycle, 3-temp, 3-water level Frigidaire can be had NOW for $277 from Lowe's ...
And an even more deluxe Frigidaire with 17 cycles, variable water level, extra rinse, handwash, etc., for $327.
[dodging the SLAP!]

...and i was there less than 5 yrs ago.. I meant to say.
So Glenn makes the same point as I do.... prices RELATIVE to purchasing power (and aboslute $ value) have come way down.

Meant: ...of that vintage..

Remember the commercial touts all the savings; hot water, detergent and clothes bills too! You clothes won't wear out as quickly from the "harmful rubbing" found in other washers!

Sorry Austin!
I can't believe I forgot about the BD present! I was referring to the range. BTW, did you name her Unice?

Hot water, soap and "harmful rubbing."
so why is this a problem?
