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.
Happy Prue Day!
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.
Mary
There is something that I have promised to Prue, that’s long overdue, and I’m not quite ready to deliver. So I’m feeling very guilty about that, but Mary Quant’s passing requires me to contact Prue for a comment.
Snap-Happy Beatles
Prue says that Ringo was the “snap-happy” Beatle, taking pictures on the set of A Hard Day’s Night. He took this one of her.
That was in March, 1964. Until that month it was Paul who had been the shutterbug.
Quant of Silence
Prue was asked to provide some input for Sadie Frost’s Quant. Having known Mary since she was seventeen, Prue was happy to oblige. The documentary premiered in England last year, but so far there is no word of when it will be available in America. I’ll keep checking.
Prue Bury Blues
HAH! You’re in a Blues song, Prue! He got it right about Pretty Prue and Plain Pattie.

Happy Birthday to Prue!
