Even More Charlie Art Collection

pics of Shelley for Charlie perfume, 1980

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 promoting Charlie Country's California Vacation Sweepstakes. Participants could win a free vacation trip for two to Los Angeles. It was a 7-Day/6-night trip that included air fare (to-and-fro), hotel accommodations, various tours and sightseeing visits, as well as a Charlie cosmetics and fragrance wardrobe that was valued at $100.00. The ad also promoted 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 fabulous as always.
