Simplicity Young Ideas 2

closeups of Shelley from Simplicity Young Ideas Catalog, 1972

Shelley appeared in Simplicity Young Ideas Catalog in 1972. The catalog featured fashions readers could make themselves - young and up-to-date fashions. She appeared in many spreads throughout the catalog and one of them was called "Spare Timers" which featured outfits that came in two lengths - one long, one short. Pattern 9937 featured a top that could be made into either a full shirt or a mid-riff (Shelley wore the mid-riff version) over a skirt (either long or mini) that could be peeled off to reveal a pair of shorts underneath. It was a very versatile look for that summer. And Shelley looked fresh and fab in it.

Jack and Mike Pilot 12

Shelley's third foray into series TV was Jack and Mike. It was about a married yuppie couple living in Chicago, trying to find time for each other in their busy schedules. Shelley played Jackie Shea, a star columnist at The Mirror, a widely-circulated Chicago paper. Her column was awaited by everyone every week. Her husband was Mike Brennan (played by Tom Mason), a successful restaurateur about to open his third restaurant. The pilot was released in VHS format and distributed in Europe, in the Netherlands and Belgium; but only the pilot episode. The entire episode was kept as is; but subtitles in Dutch were burned into the media for the convenience of the target audience. The episode runs for 90 minutes and was originally aired in September 16, 1986.

To continue, Jackie goes to the Mike's new '50s-themed restaurant where finishing touches are being made. She is shaken by what had previously happened and privately tells Mike about it. Mike is worried about Jackie's welfare; but Jackie, although shaken by her "accident", is now more determined to get to the truth. In court, lawyer Rick Scotti asked the judge for a continuance in the Sykes case. But since no new evidence was presented, the judge rules that the sentencing continues the next day. Jackie, who attended the hearing, discusses the case with Rick as they leave the courthouse. Rick tells Jackie that there is a problem with the time. The victim Ann Pulaski changed the time the rape occurred when she testified in court - which implicated Chris Sykes. If it were the original time, the one she gave during her initial statement to the police, Chris wouldn't have had time to drive and call his wife from a phone across town. Jackie thanked Rick. He gave her an idea.

Beat the Weather 2

Shelley appeared in many magazines during her Supermodel days. On of them was Vogue. In October 1976, She appeared in a spread for the mag called "Everything You Need To Know To Beat the Weather" which featured fashions that were perfect for the cold weather. "You don't always need a heavy coat" was the mags suggestion - an insulating layer could give warmth and more flexibility. Shelley wore "The New Cashmere Pullover", a small-fitting hooded cashmere sweater by Binnie Cashin's Knittery. And Shelley, of course, looked sensational in it.
