ookisa: exotic asian hair secrets

This weird ad for the hair product Ookisa has been around for a while, but has had a resurgence, with a bunch of folks writing in recently to remind me about it. The caricature is clearly supposed to be Asian, completely with small eyes and kimono.

You, too, can have beautiful Asian hair! The product's "Exotic Hair Secret" is apparently a "volumizing Asian botanical blend" of Oriental stuff "once reserved only for Geishas and Samurai." Oooooh ~ Ancient Asian Secrets ~ [Cue wind flute and gong.]
