Sue Murray By David Bailey (1967)



Thought that I'd share one of my favorite 60s fashion photos at the moment. David Bailey is undoubtedly a genius!

In Gear - Swinging London Documentary (1967)



I'm totally swooning over this fab footage of Swinging London from 1967! Oh what I'd give to have experienced the Kings Road & Carnaby Street in the Sixties! There's no doubt in my mind that I was born in the wrong decade.

Just downloaded the documentary Let's All Make Love Tonite In London (1967). Can't wait to watch it!

Happy Halloween From Glamour a-go-go!



Enjoy this original vintage promotional photograph of Sharon Tate in The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) from my personal collection!

Françoise Hardy & Sylvie Vartan - Marie Claire (1964)



Check out this terrific vintage Marie Claire magazine cover from 1964 featuring Françoise Hardy and Sylvie Vartan! I wasn't able to find the accompanying article, but I'd be very curious to see it.

Glamour a-go-go! Hearts Ann-Margret



 

Ann-Margret + hot pink fur = fabulous!

I really want to see more of her Sixties films such as Kitten With A Whip (1964), The Pleasure Seekers (1964), The Swinger (1966), and Made In Paris (1966).

France Gall & Serge Gainsbourg - Dents De Lait Dents De Loup (1967)



That's one party I would've liked to attend!

Recommended Viewing: In The French Style (1963)






Jean Seberg and Phillippe Forquet

I spent the majority of last week bedridden with a particularly nasty bout of the flu. Thankfully, I had Turner Classic Movies to keep me company throughout my recovery. During this time, I watched quite a few films, including In The French Style (1963) starring the lovely Jean Seberg as an American art student living in France. The film follows Catherine (Seberg) over the course of four years and several love affairs as she makes the transition from idealistic adolescent to sophisticated, worldly young woman. After her father pays a visit, Catherine finds herself caught between a passionate romance and the carefree, glamorous joie de vivre of the jet-setting Parisian elite on the one hand and the more mundane realities of familial obligation and adult responsibility back in the States on the other. Notably, the film also features Phillippe Forquet, former fiancée of Sharon Tate, in the role of Catherine’s teenage lover, Guy.

Unfortunately, as is the case with many of Seberg's films, In The French Style is currently unavailable on DVD. Hopefully this will change in the not-so-distant future. I'd highly encourage anyone who appreciates 1960s cinema or French culture to watch this film. And of course, it is a must-see for any Jean Seberg fan!

Are You Ready Boots? Start Walking!



I've been on a Nancy Sinatra kick for the past couple of days. Over the weekend I picked up Nancy In London (which is now gracing my living room wall) and How Does That Grab You? at the Austin Record Convention. I now own all of her albums from the 1960s. Here's the classic video for her hit single These Boots Are Made For Walkin'  to start the week off right:



PS: I'm looking for a copy of the Movin' With Nancy television special on DVD. If you can offer assistance, please drop me a line.

Icon: Ewa Aulin


I'm currently smitten with Swedish-born actress Ewa Aulin, who is best known for playing the title role in the 1968 psychedelic sex comedy,
Candy. (If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a copy of this movie, do watch it!) During the 1960s and early 1970s, she also appeared in a handful of Italian horror films that I have yet to see. What a doll!
