Just off the phone with Prue, wishing her a very Happy 83rd Birthday. She continues to live in Spain, playing tennis and bridge.
Category: Prue Bury and Swinging London
One of the first Mary Quant models, Prudence Bury was part of Swinging London at its beginning. Prue appeared with the Beatles in “A Hard Day’s Night” before Mary sent her to New York to introduce the miniskirt to America.
Prue True Love
OMG… look at what Pattie is auctioning, with no mention of Prue.
I sent the link and those pictures to Prue. She’s going to be so pissed, and if she isn’t, she should be. I haven’t heard from Prue in a few months, which is my fault really, and I hope she’s doing all right.
That photo is actually the second in a series. It comes after this one.
It Was 60 Years Ago Today
All aboard the Hard Day’s Night train.
Prue looked rather less pleased sitting next to Wilfred, than she did with John.
Twigs
Prue is my ultimate Sixties “English Posh Bird,” but the most famous British model of the era was Twiggy.
Twiggy made a guest appearance in my buddy Bismo’s all-time favorite movie, The Blues Brothers.
This Pratt is locked on Prue, but another guy named Pratt, named Guy, recently spoke with Twigs.
Names Without Faces
Kudos to Salon and/or Getty Images for getting Prue’s name right, but shame on them, because as presented at this link, the ladies have lost their pretty heads!
There, that’s better!
Y’know, Getty Images doesn’t really own the rights to many of the pictures they claim belong to them. They just slap on their name and call it their own. Getty didn’t specify the location where the photo was taken, but it was Twickenham Studios.
Happy Prue Day!
Today is Prue’s birthday, and I am hoping to arrange something very special for her. I’ve had a “Why didn’t I think of this before??” brainstorm.
