Charlie 1981

a closeup of Shelley from a 1981 Charlie perfume ad

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl. She was the embodiment of the ideal woman portrayed in the perfume commercials - gorgeous, sexy and independent. Revlon Charlie was one of the first lifestyle brands that promoted the independent women. The ad campaign Shelley was involved in idealized the woman who was free to walk out, make her own choices and be happy about them. It inspired women to wear the pants in her own life.
