Encyclopedia: Aunt Jemima (1019 words) |
 | Aunt Jemima is depicted as a fat, smiling, bright-eyed fl woman, originally wearing a kerchief over her hair. |
| Aunt Jemima is characteristic of most advertising with fl women as a reminder that their place was in the kitchen; and the majority of advertising is associated with food. |
| Aunt Jemima is no longer a slave but either a housewife or some other benevolent mother figure, and her kerchief has been eliminated for a more modern hairstyle and pearls. |
| Aunt Sally - The Online Guide (641 words) |
| Aunt Sally is played by players throwing batons at a wooden skittle known as a doll and goes back at least as far as the 17th Century. |
| Aunt Sally appears to be a development of skittles whereby this "Kingpin" became the sole interest of the game and the other skittles were dispensed with. |
| In Aunt Sally, the single white stubby skittle, about 6 inches high and 2 and 3/4 inches in diameter, is called "dolly" and the round-ended projectiles, of which there are six, are 18 inches long, 2 inches in diameter and are called "sticks". |
