Happy New Year, World!

A bogus New Year's eve version of the Charlie perfume ad
for our bogus flanker Charlie FOREVER

Well, last week, I did admit to running away (or should that be carried away) with the Charlie FOREVER idea, and I guess I just couldn't let New Year's eve pass by without posting another bogus Charlie perfume ad for our bogus flanker Charlie FOREVER. Of course, this version has a New Year's eve theme and is, I think, an appropriate last post for the month (I've now posted one bogus Charlie perfume ad per week this entire December.) In our bogus ad for New Year's eve, Shelley, in haute couture, is Charlie striding across the red carpet while a festival of fireworks lights up the sky behind her, happy new year! Ah, if it were only real... hmmm. But, nonetheless, Happy New Year, World!!! And Goodwill to All!!

Best Dressed in '95

Shelley along with fellow Charlie's Angels Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith were deemed "heavenly bodies" in Who Weekly's 1995 Best & Worst Dressed issue. Inside the magazine, the write up about the five Angels stated that they each showed their "fashion prowess in the '90s" (two pics of each Angel, one during their Angels days and one in the '90s, were put in.) The only Angel from the original series to not make it on the best dressed list was Tanya Roberts.

The King Of Comedy

One of Shelley's most critically lauded performances was on the Martin Scorsese classic The King of Comedy. The film is currently on YouTube. Watch it and see for yourself. Enjoy...

First Flash of Spring

Shelley modeled French-Riviera-based clothing designer Tiktiner's "first flash of spring" fashions in an ad for Jacobson's (a department store chain that was based in Jackson, Michigan.) The ad appeared in the Feb issue of American Vogue in 1975. And I must point out that Shelley is absolutely breathtaking in this ad.

Cartoon Tif

Shelley, as Tiffany Welles, had been immortalized in cartoons. Look-in magazine, a UK-based comic/fan children's magazine, ran several mark-3 Charlie's Angels (Kelly-Kris-Tiffany) cartoon stories from November 1979 to October 1980. And cartoon Tif is definitely as classy as the real one.

Appliqué

Shelley modeled "appliqué knits" for JCPenney in 1971.

Bringing Back The Glamour

In 1979, Aaron Spelling proudly proclaimed that "We're bringing back the glamour" in reference to the fourth season of Charlie's Angels, and the new Angels team was dressed in fab gowns by Nolan Miller. Jaclyn Smiths's sexy and sheer black number was reminiscent of a white gown she wore for another Angels pictorial three years earlier (it's more sophisticated though.) Cheryl Ladd's  one-shoulder asymmetrical-cut and cut-out eveningwear was interesting from both the front and the back. And Shelley Hack's powder blue evening gown echoed Grace Kelly's 1955 Edith Head Oscar gown. The new Angels team truly personified glamour.
