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, an artwork of her appeared in an ad dubbed "Spring Blooms in Charlie Country." It was an ad promoting Charlie's new colors for that spring - lilac and peach. It was also an ad promoting The Charlie Art Collection, which was available for only $10.00 with any $6.00 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.
