Expect more posts with more saucy Janet Reger catalogue goodness, but to begin with – Jilly Johnson.

1970s, hand tinting, Inspirational Images, james wedge, Tom Grill
Scanned from The Art of Photographing Women by Tom Grill and Mark Scanlon
You should all know by now that I am enormously fond of the art of hand-tinting in photographs. Of course James Wedge is the Emperor of such artistry, but this example (by Tom Grill, I think. This book is frustratingly vague about credits…) is utterly lovely in every way. Apparently he tinted it using home food-colouring – and it is definitely quite edible!

What went on: Or what people wore to be seen
19 magazine, 1970s, glam rock, Mick Rock
Photography by Mick Rock. 19 Magazine, 1974.
While I initially thought ‘ooh, fantastic’ to this spread, my thoughts began to turn to Heat, Grazia et al (Cult of Fashion Bloggers inclusive) and mused upon the very fine line between glam rock ‘cool’ and modern hipster naff. Still, at least this lot were generally much better turned-out.
Inspirational Images: Pin Me Down
1970s, bill klein, hats, Inspirational Images, petticoat magazine
A very sweet idea for livening up plain knitted or felt hats – but careful with felt because the pinholes might stick around once you remove the brooches. I have actually just bought a beautiful crocheted cloche myself (a move to the coast requires forward planning when you have long hair!) so the top picture is making me long for the proper cold days of December and January. I know, I know, je suis étrange…
