McCall's Magazine -1964 - Patterns for Miss America

"chosen to catch a gentleman's eye..."

NORTH
Lovely Donna Axum, of Arkansas, Miss America of 1964, is currently touring the country, modeling an Everfast wardrobe made from McCall's patterns. Here we show you four chosen to catch a gentleman's eye in every corner of the nation. Above: Donna wears a shirt dress in a brown-and-white,print, with crisp collar and cuffs. McCall's pattern 7183. Sewing tip: When interfacing collar and cuffs, trim edges of interfacing close to stitching line, to avoid bulk.

SOUTH
Miss America's knowledgeable choice for Magnolialand is a bold print interpreted in a lovely, long evening gown with, a low V neckline front and back. The raised waist is defined with black grosgrain ribbon garnished with a huge yellow flower. McCall's pattern 7195. Sewing tip: To add sweep to a long skirt, underline it with a lightweight shaping material. Use skirt pattern to cut dress fabric and underlining; then seam, treating the two fabrics as though they were one.

EAST
For the Ivy League or Madison Avenue circuit, Miss America's eye-catching orange-and-white print, in a blend of Kodel and cotton, has a becoming low, rounded neckline, big sleeves banded just below the elbow, wide waist-cinching self belt, and a full, full skirt. McCall's Easy-To-Sew pattern 7186. Sewing tip: To guarantee sure-to-hold, even gathers for a full skirt, wind bobbin with buttonhole twist or heavy-duty thread, and machine-baste in a double row at the waistline.

WEST
A marvelous murky stripe-and-print design in a dress with a low-waisted silhouette, very fashionable this season; a neckline high and square in front, dipping to a low V in back. McCall's pattern 7192. Sewing tip: To make the most effective and dramatic use of striped fabric, match stripes at seams, and plan fabric cutting so that the lower edge of the stripe falls at bottom of bodice and skirt. All fabrics in Miss America's wardrobe are by Everfast with Everglaze easy care.

I Am Momma - Hear Me Roar

Hey guys!  I'm guest blogging today over at I Am Momma - Hear Me Roar.  There's a video you've been waiting for... check it out!

She made me into a model!

I had the privilege of modeling (as if I'm some seasoned model HA) for the most AMAZING photographer the other day, Chelsey Ott.  She seriously made me into a freakin' model I tell you.  And I use the word "freakin" sparingly around here so you know I mean it!  She was such a blast to work with.  She gave me every single pose and had so many awesome ideas.  It is incredibly important that you feel comfortable around your photographer, because lets face it.  It's kind of embarrassing.  Pretending you're hot stuff and all.  But she made it so easy!  You should have seen where we were at to.  I NEVER would have thought to shoot there.  I guess that's why I'm not a photographer huh?! ha ha!  Anyway.  I wanted to share her with the rest of the world.  Go check out her FB page, Chelsey Art and give her some love!

She had these to me within days of the photo shoot.  I can't wait to see what else she took!!!  Aren't they beautiful?  I guess this post sort of makes me seem like... um what's the word... full of myself?  Vain?  "Here look at all these pictures of me..." ha ha ha!!  Whatever you know I'm totally not like that.  I'm just so proud of these photos!

Radio Stars Magazine -1931 - Fashion Parade - Harriet Hilliard, Alice Faye

Fashion Parade Arranged by Helen Hover

Smart clothes make smart women and vice versa.
1. Just glance of Harriet Hilliard in this charming block velvet Sunday night gown. Note the simple clinging lines (to emphasize all its dramatic allure) and the little puff sleeves and high neckline. The picture hat is just the thing to bring out all the glamour in this outfit.
2. Her black ski suit is very boyish-from the double-breasted jacket to the bright yellow turtleneck roll on the sweater.
3. How those boyish styles do bring out all the femininity in the gal! Do you wonder at her nonchalance in these smart aquamarine velvet lounging pajamas?
4. Observe this black satin evening gown that Harriet is enhancing with that figure. Fits very snugly and is enlivened by silver fox epaulettes.
5. Alice Faye shows you why the Mandarin pajama suit is so popular. The jacket is vivid lacquer red. Black satin trousers add the final intriguing note.
6. The little red ski suit is adopted from the styles of the Tyrolian mountain climbers. Notice the smart white laces and flat collar.
7. Alice's black satin and net evening gown has that sleek poured-into look that outlines the natural contour of her figure to the knees, then strikingly flares out into graceful widths of net.
8. The black wool jacket of this natty sport suit has a swagger flare and is just finger-tip length. The sporty black and white checks of the skirt are repeated in the perky ascot.

A winner and a wagon ride

This weekend my best friend Shawnee, her husband Tyson and their little boy Benson came to visit from Cedar City!  Shawnee and I have been friends since college and our little boys are three weeks apart.  PLUS we are both due the same day for these next babies.  Couldn't have planned it if we tried!  We crammed in a whole bunch so I didn't have much time on the computer- sorry 'bout that!  Anyway.  I need to announce a winner for my ebook!

Radio Stars Magazine -1931 - Mae West and the Radio Jinx

The article inside the magazine refers to the jinx...the idea is that other movie stars hadn't done well in Radio, but they expect that Mae would do fine so long as she passed the censors. She did work in radio, a few sketches in 1937, (Edgar Bergen's radio show), but there were issues with censors and she ended up being banned from Radio.
But Ms. West did OK without radio, she had a fabulous career.
