Show "GAY GADGETS" Associated Newspapers WNU Features. BY NANCY PEPPER SWEATER SPICE Coming events cast their shadows before, we always say every other rainy Thursday. What we mean this time is that your shadows in the high-school halls aren't as baggy and saggy these days. That's because sweaters are moving in, but definitely. definite-ly. We've just conducted a soda fountain poll and we find that the abler Grables are all in favor of more fitted, shorter sweaters. In the meantime here are some new tricks they're playing with their old ones. Sweater Mfgrs., Please Note We've been asking our Fashion Scouts what kind of f " sweaters they want J A for next year and they ( V ( ask for more sweat- v I'v V ers with drawstring ""r. necklines ;moredress- if up sweaters for dat- & ing. . Keep it up Tr vA Your Dreams Are r Getting Better All the s "S" over "T" What we mean is "Sleeveless Sweaters" over "T shirt." That's the way you're wearing wear-ing your V neck, sleeveless jobs these days, and we like it. Cameo Clutter The newest fad is to wear an old-fashioned cameo pin in the middle of your dickie collar. They tell me you can find cameos in your favorite dime store. Barrette Brooches Did you get more silver barrettes for Christmas than you have room on your head for? Well, all the gals are wearing them as sweater pins and who are you to be different? Midriff Makeover Summer's on the way when our Soda Fountain FBI starts to talk about midriffs again. This time they tell us that old pull-over sweaters make Van-some Van-some (that's Johnson for "handsome") "hand-some") midriff tops if you cut them off, bind them and tie them in with a drawstring. SOMETHING FROM THE BOYS Remember those trousered treasures treas-ures we used to call "boys" way back in the days before the manpower man-power shortage? Well, if you put on your strongest specs and get a hunting hunt-ing license, you may still be able to find one or two of this rare species. spe-cies. To keep you from losing them, once you've gone to all that trouble, we're going to let you in on a very confidential poll we just took around the boys' lockers. Who's His Favorite Locker Pin-Up gal? Why, Lauren Bacall, of course! It's the "Look" that gets them. Better try it out in your own mirror before you launch it on the public. Who Are the Runncr-TJps? June Allyson comes first after the baleful Bacall and a refreshing change she is! Then Shirley Temple rates high too and don't forget Grable and Turner. The boys don't. Just for a gag. we saw some snaps of Margaret Margar-et O'Brien on the locker doors, too. How Does He Want You to Dress? Sweaters and skirts, for school and for at-home platter parties. But for Big Deals and dances a date dress, please. And make it black. What Are His Pet Peeves? Too. too short skirts; slacks if you take the slack out of them; hairline eve-brows; eve-brows; crooked slocking seams: Frankenstein make-up and long, painted finger talons; gum chewing; date breaking and, particularly, girls who talk about other boys. Well, how are you doing? 77?.7E 7EO SAYS: You're giving a party tonight and von wish that you were dead or, at least, unconscious. You're u-orricd about the refreshments, about the size of the tiling til-ing room, about uhether or not your parents will know uhen to beat a hasty retreat, about uhether everybody's going go-ing to shoie up. lielax. Junior. Easy does it. All you have to do is to help break tlie ire. Then, if the party's really good, you'll hat e such a good time you'll forget for-get you're the hostess. After all, you can't e.xpeet your guests to feel at home if you don't. |
