Positively SPECtacular

on Woman's Day magazine, 1972

Shelley appeared on many issues of what was known as the Seven Sisters group of magazines. The Seven Sisters magazines were Woman's Day, Redbook, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle and Better Homes and Gardens. They all catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazines featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. Shelley appeared on the March 1972 issue of Woman's Day magazine, in a spread entitled "Look Spectacular in Bold Prescription Specs." The spread explained to readers how to chose frames and lenses that would be helpful as well as flattering to their eyes and face. The eye makeup on Shelley (as well as the rest of the models) was done by legendary makeup artist Way Bandy. Shelley modeled the frame design called Capote in crystal (it came in light and dark tortoise as well). And Shelley looked positively SPECtacular.
