High (school) Fashion

12:54:00 MoonDoggie 3 Comments

I came across these pics a while ago (via Miss Moss). Photographer, Arthur Shatz, took his camera to a high school in 1969 and now we are able to marvel at the time capsule images. The photo above is my favourite. I love her whole look, as well as the girl behind her in the dress, but that hat is to die for.

Here are some more highlights:

This one time at band camp, I wore a groooooovy outfit.

I adore the pattern on this maxi dress.

I would so rock this look. I have been actively searching for red bellbottoms for some time now.

Woah! She's funky and she knows it.

I'm swooning over these dresses and necklaces. Not sure I could pull of the harlequin tights though.

Well, hey there - come over and join us in fashion corner!

If you'd like to see more you can go to the LIFE photo archive hosted by google. (Select 1960s and search for Arthur Shatz.) I'm going to nosey about the archives and see what else I can come up with.

That Doll

22:42:00 MoonDoggie 2 Comments

I''ve never seen an episode of 'That Girl' but I'm still aware of its existence, largely due to countless references in other programs. For a while now, I was on the lookout for cool paper dolls because I remember enjoying them as a child although I don't remember much about them.

These scans of the 'That Girl Paper Doll Book' from 1967 are available from Teri Pettit's Paper Doll Land. I'm gonna print them out and relive part of my childhood in a much, cooler way than I ever did the first time.

All 9 pages available here.

Town

I came across this gorgeous Lisa Jones silk screen print via Pinterest (I'd repin all your pins if I didn't stop myself, Jill Browning!). I love the use of one feature colour. It reminds me of some of the illustrations in the mid-century nursery rhyme book I picked up from a car boot sale a few years back.

Titled simply, 'Town', it is available through Soma Gallery. It's inspiring me to do some designing again (as soon as I find the time).

R.I.P Davy Jones

I was so sad to hear the news of Davy's death this morning.

I had just pulled out of the driveway on the way to work - what a crappy way to start the day.

Readers of my blog would be aware of my Monkee love. Just last year I blogged about going to see them in concert (minus Mike Nesmith). I am so, so glad I did.

Below are some great shots of Davy I have found on the net and a video about their 1967 visit to the UK.
