From 1965: Carve Your Number On My Wall And Maybe You Will Get A Call From Me


Please, folks...I am not a snob as a general rule, but please, please listen to The Beatles in mono only.

The tunes were mixed for mono, so if you want to hear the songs the way that the lads themselves and Sir George Martin meant for the world to hear them, opt for the mono mixes.

p.s. This is another tune that was inspired by the greatest rock n' roll muse of all time, Pattie Boyd.

 July 1969

From 1979: Gorgeous, Gorgeous Gia

There will never be enough words said about her beauty. She really was one of the best models who ever lived, and she managed to attain that status in less than five years of working in the industry and despite having a, shall we say, dangerous way of living.

This photo appeared in the April, 1979, issue of Vogue UK.

If you double-click the photo, prepare to be stunned.

Christy And Linda Do Chanel, Fall 1990

I long for the days when actual models, not celebrities or actresses or reality show tramps, graced the insides and cover of fashion magazines.

From April 1990: Christy Turlington In Ungaro

Vogue

For a couple of years after this first appeared in the magazine, I had this page tacked up on my wall. I was, and continue to be, struck by how beautiful this image is. Christy Turlington has taken a lifetime of iconic, stunning photographs. For me, this is one of the most memorable.

Blogging After A Huge Meal: Impossible, Unless You Have Your Trusty Vogue Magazine Covers To Depend Upon

And gallons of Pepsi and tunes from The Byrds and Traffic. Oh, and Excedrin Migraine.

Excedrin is better...science says so!
Be sure to catch the throw away line about the "antidepressants" in Excedrin.

Stunning Seventies Goddess Kelly Emberg

June 1979

Next to Gia Carangi, quite possibly my favorite Seventies model.

Former girlfriend of Rod Stewart and mother of his daughter, Ruby.

Best friend of fellow Seventies modeling legend Kim Alexis, who famously admitted that Emberg chastised her for eating plain iceberg lettuce for dinner, implying that it was too much for Alexis to eat in order to remain slim.
