And Even More Charlie Art Collection

Shelley was THE Charlie perfume Girl from 1976 to 1982. She was dubbed as THE quintessential Charlie Girl because she was the embodiment of the brand's ideal - gorgeous, sexy, young... as well as independent, confident and loving every minute of it. In 1981, she appeared in an ad dubbed "It's Spring and Signs of Charlie Are Everywhere." It was an ad promoting The Charlie Art Collection, which was available for only $10.00 with any purchase from the Charlie collection. The Charlie Art Collection was a glamorous cosmetic kit containing 12 colors for the eyes, cheeks, lips and nails... plus a bottle of Charlie perfume spray. The kit also contained a LeRoy Neiman Cityscape Artwork (which he named "Spring Blooms in Charlie Country") ready for framing. And whether in pictures or in Mr. Neiman's artwork, Charlie Girl Shelley was Charlie-Girl gorgeous.
