Originally, “Remembering You” had no lyrics but Carroll O'Connor added them as a sweet little addition for the song’s message ^_^ bout to make me cry here…

From the Sonny & Cher comedy hour.

Makes me think also of “Beyond the Sea”, “Avalon” and other assorted wistful and contemplative oldies.

August 1971. ‘The new romantic has her heart on her sleeve, her head in the clouds, but her feet are firmly planted on the road to fashion in her wardrobe of Connies.’

1971 Barbie Talk Magazine fashions by Modbarbie Lover Via Flickr: 

Always loved these pages out of Barbie Talk magazine… love the accompanying copy as well…. I would LOVE to make a ‘gay and pretty wall decoration’ out of this for my Barbie room! (alas, this is just an jpeg copy I have… may print it out in A4 size, though…) I have four (and a half!) of the Ken outfits and five of the Barbie ones here (Just got 'Evening In’ today… complete with medallion on the overdress!) … which ones do you have in your collection?
