Exciting mail day - just picked up a Radiorem bottle, and the forbidden lapel pin (Radium anti-static device). #GlowAndTell
Because dull, thirsty skin is out — and dripping-with-confidence glow is in.
You won’t just look hydrated.
You’ll look undeniably hot.
Glow up. Show up.
Make them stare.

Photo of an empty box. Lid is black and shows a woman (dressed in 1920s clothes) holding her wrist with a watch on it up to the viewer. The text reads Ingersoll Radiolite Tells Time By Day and Night 15/-. The inside of the box has instructions on how to wind the watch written in the base.
It's been a while since have had a chance to do a #GlowAndTell but
I is for Ingersoll
and one of my favourite objects in my collection (its an empty box but WHAT an empty box!)

Counting down to the paperback launch of Chain Reactions: A Hopeful History of Uranium with my #GlowAndTell
A no brainer today. G is for (uranium) Glass.
And would love to throw it open. If you have a favourite piece of uranium glass please do share in the comments.

My book Chain Reactions: A Hopeful History of Uranium is out at the end of this month in paperback. To celebrate am writing another book (!) and also doing an A-Z of radioactive history. Here is my #GlowAndTell so far...
Black and white poster of Elvis Presley "The Atomic Powered Singer" which gives a date of May 5 and the location of New Frontier Hotel. as well as other acts including Billy Duke and His Dukes.
There are lots of examples in #ChainReactions of how this manifested but for #GlowandTell I will give just one - ‘the nation's only atomic-powered singer,’ none other than Elvis Presley, in his first Las Vegas appearance.
So E- is for Elvis "hotter than a radioactive yam." according to Time.
Photoshoot for Life magazine: The father is seen sporting a stylish black outfit with red breast pockets, collar, and a cap, exuding a sense of sartorial flair (well at least a very 1950s look). The mother takes center stage in the feature, clad in a bright orange jumpsuit referred to as the ‘U-235,’ complete with perfectly coiffed hair and a shovel in hand. The daughter dons a smaller version of the mother's outfit, known as the ‘Diggerette Jr,’ complete with black detailing on the pockets.
He was clearly not a fan. But I am and absolutely love this photoshoot with all my heart. Revel in its 1950s glory again. #GlowAndTell #HotAlphabet

D is for Diggerette Jr.
After WW2 the US wanted to secure as much uranium as they could. After all they needed to build up a stockpile of bombs and test them as well. So they built up the mining industry but also came up with a plan to encourage independent producers. #GlowAndTell
photo of the back of the can which reads: 1. Remove label and tell your enemy its laughing gas. 2. Energy free night light (illuminates in darkness). 3. Mix with cold cream for that radiant beauty. 4. Instant male sterilization (sniff twice daily). 5. Use as a room air freshener. 6. Toothpaste recipe: mix 3 to 1 ratio with baking soda, for ever glowing smile.

And the object we started with. A sealed canned produced by Brenster Enterprises of Etters, Pennsylvania. Inside is ‘Canned Radiation from TMI.’ i.e air. Not sure if you can read the back label but have put it in the Alt. #HotAlphabet #GlowAndTell
A black and white photograph of Eben Byers as a young man. Shows a white man with a white collar and slicked back hair.
4/ Bailey is remembered today as the man behind the horrific death of Eben McBurney Byers from radiation poisoning. But he was only one of many entrepreneurs, doctors and scientists marketing radium treatments during the #20s30s and beyond. #HotAlphabet #GlowAndTell
Black and white newspaper photograph of William J Bailey. A white man with round glasses, slicked hair wearing an old fashioned white collared shirt and bow tie.

B is for Bailey — William J. Bailey, to be precise.
Best known for his infamous Radithor, Bailey was a radium entrepreneur and sold a whole suite of “therapies” based on radium. #HotAlphabet #GlowAndTell
That's it for tonight. There’ll be plenty more of these curiosities as we go — the world of radioactive cosmetics is one of my favourite (and most bizarre) corners of beauty history and one of the most prominent commercial uses of radium in the #20s30s #HotAlphabet #AtomicAgeBeauty #GlowAndTell
Another black and white newspaper advert. Title is "New Faces for Old: Radium's Greatest Miracle" - Artes Radium Cream.
Ads ran in Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, showcasing their packaging in crisp, clean Art Deco elegance. #GlowAndTell #ArtDecoBeauty
Black and white photograph of a pot of Artes radium cream and box. The pot, which is shown with its lid off, is black with white lettering. The box is white with black lettering. The style is very moderne and art deco.

Kicking off my #HotAlphabet with A is for Artes Radium Cream.
Launched in 1932, it claimed to hold “The Secret of Facial Rejuvenation” — and, yes, that secret was radium.

Front cover of the paperback of Chain Reactions. It is a blue book with purple, yellow and white text with the title of the book and my name. On this image there is also two endorsements - "There is much to enjoy in Santos' breezy and -yes- hopeful history." Physics World and "Genuinely interesting throughout" Brian Clegg, science writer.
Starting this evening, I’m launching #HotAlphabet – a A-Z of radioactivity – in celebration of the upcoming paperback release of Chain Reactions: A Hopeful History of Uranium. It’s a #GlowAndTell exploring the strange, brilliant & (sometimes) forgotten history of radioactivity one letter at a time.
