Swingin’ Mademoiselle
Immediately before the Beatles conquered America, Sylvie Vartan conquered them.
A Taste of Alpert
On the Facebook group devoted to the Wrecking Crew movie, about the legendary Los Angeles studio musicians, a question came up about the lady on the cover with Herb Alpert on the “What Now My Love” album. I chimed in with an explanation, and look who liked my comment!
A Haunting We Will Go
Expiring today on Watch TCM is the 1963 movie “The Haunting,” with Claire Bloom wearing clothes by Mary Quant.
More Prue!
This should start at the right point to see Prue. There’s an introduction you can watch by going back a bit in the video.

Prue was with Mary Quant and Vidal Sassoon from the very beginning, and it’s a shame she wasn’t given an opportunity to talk about those days at the start of Swinging London.
Happy Birthday to Prue!
Prue’s birthday isn’t until the 24th, but I’d better take advantage of this brief video while it’s available. Unfortunately, the BBC iPlayer doesn’t work in America.
Prue recently appeared on The One Show, talking about her old boss and chum Mary Quant, as a preview of an exhibition about the fashion designer at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, aka the V&A. I’ll have to ask Prue who the woman is speaking, standing next to her. Prue was clearly looking for an opportunity to speak up, but without more video there’s no way to see if she succeeded.
Dame Mary Quant was a trailblazer for women in business. An exhibition of her work opens tomorrow at the @V_and_A. pic.twitter.com/FkQBYB6aRS
