mirror

is

the

message

Helena Rubinstein "Elec-Tricks" - Pure color on one side, frosty shimmer on the other.

"Beauty is sight and insight - maquillage a living art that reflects a woman within, changing herself at will just as primitive man varies his masque, dramatizing the many selves he wants to project."

THE

THINK 

DIET

"Sure way to figure control: put the bathroom scales in front of a full-length mirror. Strip. Is what you see the best you can do?

Flowers shape the body - the rediscovery of the paleolithic double-curve in pettipants by Deanna Littel for Warner's.

Pettipants became a hot item during the latter part of the sixties. The first "pettipant look" was introduced as eyelet or lace trimmed mid-to-full-length cotton bloomers worn under baby doll dresses or gypsy layers as shown on Jean Shrimpton in Vogue March 1969 - see below. The printed pettipants above dealt with ever-rising skirt lengths, insuring some modicum of modesty with style.
