Marianne Faithfull - Hier Ou Demain (1967)



From the film Anna (1967) starring Anna Karina, Serge Gainsbourg, and Jean-Claude Brialy.

Icon: Jane Asher


British actress and Beatle's girlfriend Jane Asher was the reigning redhead of the Swinging London scene in the 1960s. I love her unique sense of personal style.

Icon: Marisa Mell (1939-1992)


I've recently discovered Eurobabe extraordinare Marisa Mell. Last night I watched Perversion Story (a.k.a. One On Top Of The Other) (1969), which is an Italian erotic murder mystery set in San Francisco, complete with fabulous mod 60s fashions and swinging strippers! Mell plays a scantily clad seductress named Monica Weston. Perversion Story also stars the lovely Elsa Martinelli and French actor, Jean Sorel. This film is definitely one worth checking out!

Sylvie Vartan - Vintage Japanese Commercial (1965)



Yé-yé girl Sylvie Vartan singing in Japanese for Renown Clothing, circa 1965!

Icon: Barbara Parkins


Anne Welles has always been my least favorite Valley Of The Dolls character, but Barbara Parkins brought a much needed sense of glamour and sophistication to the role.


An interesting bit of trivia: Barbara was Sharon Tate's maid of honor in her wedding to Roman Polanski. She even caught the bridal bouquet!
