Shelley with Linda Gauche and Terry Reno
in an ad for Gay Gibson, 1967
Shelley appeared in many ads for Gay Gibson during her modeling days. The brand was one of the many labels that came out of Kansas City, Missouri. It was a label that dated back to 1937 and that specialized in producing mid-priced fashions for young women. There was nobody named Gay Gibson associated with the brand though; it was owned by the Gernes Garment Company.

In 1967, she appeared in an ad for Gay Gibson which featured "go-everywhere-styles for every occasion made sleek and smart by Gay Gibson." She wore the Moroccan Sizzler, a striped sleeveless top over a purple pleated skirt. Matching earrings, medium-heeled footwear and hair pony-tailed to one side was all that was needed to finish her look. She also wore Gay Gibson's paprika and pepper outfit that were to bring Spring Spice in any girl's fashion life. It was a jumper mini-dress sans the pepper corn blouse. A bracelet and matching footwear finished her outfit. With her hair combed back, Shelley looked fabulous and ready for the spicy 1960s night-life.
