National Handcraft - Head 'N Shoulders Ring

The back of this card reads:

"Head 'N Shoulders Ring - Most versitile accessory ever invented. This glamorous head or neck piece of glistening white fabric may be worn many ways. A style sensation when trimmed with imported iridescent beads, crystal drops, and custom made braid. Head 'N Shoulders kit also available in Colorado Blue."

Sounds pretty exciting but perhaps this 'Most Versitile Accessory' might have been more of a hit if it did not closely resemble and old time maxi pad wrapped (belt and all) around the head and/or neck....



    We sell a lot of vintage postcards tho I can't see much of a demand for this one, I bought it anyway because the expressions on the models face (as if she is wearing fine jewelry instead of sanitary products about her head and face) just cracks me up to no end...

More pages from Beatlemania teen magazines

More pictures from mid 1960's teen magazines. 

I was born in 1970 so Beatlemania was a bit before my time but through the years I've read every Beatle biography I could get my hands on. 
I picked these up at a record show I was selling at recently, having read about those old guys, The Beatles, having been teen pop stars at some point in the past is way different than holding artifacts from that time period.

  I'm quite sure I read them with a similar giddy excitement of a 16 year old in 1965....    







I don't remember Frankie lighting up a smoke on the beach in any of his flicks with Annette...    


          I don't think that finding "the right girl" was really a priority for Richard Chamberlain...
