Rave Waves '87

pics of Shelley from the cover and pages
of Star Hairdo's magazine, 1987

Shelley appeared on the cover of the June/July issue of Star Hairdo's in 1987. In the issue, Shelley, one of TV's most glamorous women, shared her beauty and styling secrets to readers everywhere. Shelley had just had just concluded her run as Jackie Shea in TV series Jack and Mike and her current glam new hairstyle was featured in a spread called "Shelley Hack's Rave Waves." The gorgeous one-time Charlie's Angel was wearing her shoulder-skimming asymmetric bob in a casual tumble of waves. For the office, her hair was parted and waves pared down for a more professional look. For dressier occasions, her hair was given extra volume, with her waves intensified and allowed to frame her face like a halo - 1980s style of course. Shelley was drop-dead gorgeous.

Shelley appeared in a spread called "Make it Ruffled, Make it Quilted, Make it Smocked, But Make it Print!" which appeared on the pages of Family Circle magazine in February of 1978 as part of the mag's Moneysaver Coupons Promo. If readers wanted to sew the clothes she modeled, they could get a 15% discount on printed fabrics and matching trims with the coupon provided by the magazine. Several fabric stores spread throughout the US participated in the promo. In one pic, Shelley modeled a sexy smocked camisole top in a floral print trimmed with velvet ribbon and buttons. With it, she wore a tiered maxi skirt in two different floral patterns and trimmed with velvet ribbon as well. Shelley was one fabulous floral-fest, and, as always,  looked sensational.
