Remembering New Years Eve, past!!!

       

Bill Williams, Gloria Rosan, Noel A. and Jean Williams, 1976.



Bill and Gloria Williams married New Years Eve, 1979, at Jean and Noel A. Williams, home
in Montecito California

Charity event together at the Coral Casino, in Santa Barbara, California, 1981.

Noel A., Jean, Gloria and Bill Williams on an Alaskan Cruise, in 1993 a few months before Noel A. passed away in 1994, from heart complications. 

The two couples had spent the last 18 years together living a quieter lifestyle after the wild 1970's.  Especially Bill Williams, after marrying Gloria.  She slowed him down and added years to his life. 

Bill and Jean Williams both died in 2006, and Gloria followed them in 2009.  They are greatly missed by their children and grandchildren today. 

Happy New Years Eve, 2011, Wishing all of you around the world a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012!!!

Maybelline's Teenage Diva in the 1960's.

Maybelline ad's in the 1960's, were seen more in fashion magazines, than movie magazines, and a new target market emerged as teenage Boomer's discovered  glamour and their own style.

Maybelline's new eye shadow stick was a big hit in 1960 and came in 5 iridescent, jewel-tone shades for $1.  When I turned 13 in 1960 my mother and Nana gave me a makeup bag for my Birthday,  filled with all the Maybelline products seen in this ad.  Of course I didn't wear it to school, but I felt very grown up knowing I had my own makeup and a pair of low heal, high heals, ready to go, if the time ever came when I might need them.

When I was a teenager, being a Fashion Diva was the key to finding the perfect guy and having a perfect life.  So did it happen?  Yes and no.   But you'll have to read The Maybelline Story to find out. 

Stay tuned for more 60's lore all this week.  Tell your Fashion Diva friends to check out The Maybelline Blog if they love VINTAGE!
