I didn’t quite realise how HUGE this spread in Honey, from December 1969, was until I began to scan it. And you can see for yourself. But I think it was worth it, because it’s a really gorgeously done shoot with a delightful conceit. One of these days I’m going to run away and join a circus. Although I’d have to be a clown, considering how clutzy and goofy I am (and my lack of all other circus skills…).
Since scheduling this blog post the other day, I have accidentally proven my total clumsiness by falling over and hitting my head very hard. I’m going to have to take it easy for a couple of weeks, so posts here and listings on the website may be erratic, depending on how I’m feeling day-to-day. Thank you for bearing with me….

Fantastic – love the two girls with their enormous wigs
Hi there-fabulous pictures and some really great outfits. I wish you a speedy recovery too my dear 😉
Oh no you poor thing. Do take it easy and it will pass head traumas aren't nice. I have to confess I have an irrational or rational fear of circuses!
Amazing photo find!
Take it easy, concussion is a stange thing, I whacked my head when I was about 22 (and some would say its still not right), love the spread, Honey is another thing that passed me by in the 70s:-(
Get well soon, Sweetheart. That sounds nasty.Great post but you could've warned me about those hideous clowns, I think i'm going to have nightmares! xxx
Thank you lovely people, and sincerest apologies for freaking out any coulrophobics (I looked it up!) or circus-phobics. Now I'm in two minds as to whether to scan in and share a gorgeous James Wedge photoshoot where the model is dressed as a clown. She's a pretty clown, but she's a clown nonetheless….
I stumbled upon your blog trying to find a Noosha Fox song…glad I did cause you post some great pictures! A few that I'd never seen of kate. Awesome!!
And–get well soon. Yikes!
Liz… this is so random…The crazy green lurex ensemble (Simon Massey Janice Wainright) Bath fashion museum have it! It is equally as mental in the flesh as it looks in the pics : )
