Doesn't that take you back Cary? That goldtoned buckle must have been a
treasure. I have actually remembered that silver dress photo on and off
throughout the years; that's a Jonathan Logan dress for $32.00, today it
would probably go for $200.00. I must admit that I remember every single
cover as if it were yesterday. But I have also forgotten a lot with respect
to the internal advertising and photos: ads for Gay Gibson, Bobbi Brooks,
Cotton, Meds (made of rayon fibers instead of cotton? LOL), Etc.
And I guess that I had forgotten how many pages Terry Reno and Lucy Angle
were on.
The weaving of ribbons in hair became really big around that time and the
use of "falls", hair extensions.
Reading these magazines now is really "a trip". Articles written by Senator
McCarthy, and articles about the draft and archenemy Richard Nixon. LOL.
Most of these magazines are in good to excellent condition, but the ones
that came in the mail yesterday have an odor (kept in a garage or a cellar).
I've got them airing out while I'm at work, but I may have to place them in
a box with baking soda and see if that absorbs the musty smell.
Regards,
Elliot
Here is a link to my personal favorite cover:

Elliot,
This photo takes me back. In fact, I remember it vividly because my
mother was
able to find a goldtoned buckle just like the one on her silver dress,
and she
made an identical dress for my sister in a deep, rich purple.
I was also taken with the idea of weaving ribbons through our hair!
