Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful – Page 6

If You Want To Look Busy, Ladies

Get that chipped-nail look! This vintage Cutex ad, from 1937, may promote polish shades, but I find the manicure design more interesting… Go to a salon, or give yourself a manicure that looks like you’ve been too busy to get your nails done. Via.

“Can’t Stand Still Pants”

That’s Pan’s People movin’ and groovin’, selling pants in the 1969 issue of Petticoat magazine.

Mod Avenger Fashions

Diana Rigg & The Emmapeeler

Here’s that Avenger girl, Dina Rigg, in the grooviest jumpsuit on your TV screen. Called the “Emmapeeler” — after the character she plays — it comes in eight colors and is made of a stretch fabric called Crimplene. T.B. Jones Ltd. of London is the manufacturer.

Those giant “Avenger” watches that Diana wears with her jumpsuits also are a British import. They come in various colors and straps, and this spring they started to appear in stores throughout the U.S. They are by Old England.

Images via; there’s no mention of what publication was scanned, however, I’m rather certain the pages came from the June 10-16, 1967 issue of TV Guide (#741).

Old England is, again, making watches. More on the vintage Old England watches can be found here. And more information on Avenger fashions can be found here.

No Hippie Chicks?
