And Dusty Springfield. And Petula Clark.

GREAT times. Back when you were spotting them on TV and in "A Hard Day's Night" and in fan magazines and ads for Yardley of London… Back when the other role models were Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton and Patti Boyd, and fashion was all about Mary Quant… DAYUM! Loved those times!
