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!

My Own Story: The Truth About Modeling (1964)


I think that today's models are so boring compared to the 60s girls i.e. Jean Shrimpton, Peggy Moffitt, Penelope Tree, Veruschka, Twiggy, Pattie Boyd etc.

Jean Shrimpton is my personal favorite.

Jayne Mansfield For President (1964)


Jayne Mansfield's spoof on the 1964 Presidential Election. This one is a personal favorite from my collection. Best magazine idea ever?! I think so! Delightfully campy from front to back cover!

Jayne possessed a genius for PR. Did you know that she was the most publicized woman in the world for a period in the late 1950s?

Funny, yet true: Following the release of Jayne Mansfield For President, many people honestly thought that JM was serious running for office!

She'd get my vote any day! Glamour a-go-go hearts Jayne Mansfield!!!

Exclusive! - Sharon Tate by David Bailey

Sharon Tate is my all-time favorite actress and style icon. In my opinion, Sharon was the living embodiment of everything the Swinging Sixties represented. She was beauty, grace, and kindness personified.

I started collecting Sharon Tate memorabilia about three years ago. Since then, I've been lucky enough to acquire many unique treasures which I plan to showcase on this blog.

Recently, I stumbled across these extremely rare original vintage photographs of Sharon, and just couldn't resist adding them to my personal collection. The following images were shot by famed 60s photographer David Bailey on the set of the film, The Fearless Vampire Killers in 1966.

Please DO NOT repost these scans without my express consent. Thank you and enjoy!
