A lot more information is accessible now than the last time I searched!

Here are a couple of pictures and a few details which might refresh memories!

@LTT1  Thanks for the memories, sorry Bob Hope Smiley Happy

 

She was beautiful!!  Classic looks.  That dress!  Style still holds up. 

 

I loved me some madras.  I had slacks that were patchwork madras. 

 

 

Look at how substantial the textiles were then.  How cheesy most of the tops are now.

The only super model I remember from the early 60's was Twiggy (no last name needed).

@Elri

 

I had a red leather shoulder bag —cameraBag size and style, that had madras sides. Beautifully-made and I loved it very much—it was a prized possession!

 

Spent hours in high school looking at Seventeen magazine and Colleen Corby!

I do remember her, because I was a devoted reader of " Seventeen " .

I don't remember her but of course I remember Twiggy...she was the "it" girl in the mid/late 1960s.

 

Cheryl Tiegs was the all natural California gril and was popualr back then too.

@LTT1, thanks for posting.  I do remember her, and she modeled a bathing suit that I just had to have (and I did get it).  I had forgotten about Bonne Bell Ten-0-Six Shampoo, and just look at the prices of the shampoo and compare to what we pay today.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

[ Edited ]

I remember Colleen Corby well, @LTT1  She was on so many Seventeen magazine covers!

 

I remember this one in particular.  I was someone who wore my hair like that, too.

(I just realized the magazine was 50 cents!)
