Show 'Twixt Us Teens Tibby Tucker "Operation Popularity," a campaign cam-paign which I, Tibby, feel sure will make your next harvest celebration celebra-tion a ball and not a bawl! Some girls complain that they'd rather not go to a dance or party, accept any kind of a date, than go with Mr. Social Slub-dud of the Season. Same with fellows. Why if they draw "decline" from their favorite queen, they just won't go. "All the cutest dolls in town are dated," they moan. About that time they should man the plan of "Operation Poularity." If you are one of these try it! You girls: accept the date, if he to rmg. C'mon. Make it ring. Take that shy girl in English . . or the new girl on the block . . or that good pal on the paper staff . . but show up on the scene and surprise sur-prise the crowd. Be a get around guy. Don't let them type you! And once there, fuss over this girl . . pay attention only to her. Enjoy the fun with the crowd by being there! It's the best way. You know, I, Tibby, have learned that the boy or girl who isn't afraid to date someone who may not be crowding the top on the current cur-rent popularity ladder is just the boy or girl who will really know is decent but un-smooth. Don't talk about him to any of your friends. Pro or con. Just show up at the dance with him and concentrate concen-trate on bringing out the best in him. Act as though you are having hav-ing a glorious time. After all, a teen's idea of success is having the big occasion. They'll look at you and wish they were having it so good! Laugh a lot . . kid him along . . try and save him from embarassment. Use all the tricks of your feminine trade to discover his good points and let the crowd know what they are. Also, you are there . . you can talk about it next day with the crowd . . you're a dating girl. Any way you look at it the evening will be a success. You boys: take somebody! Plenty of darling dolls just sighing over the phone . . simply WILLING it how to get along with people. The more variety in your life, the more exciting it will be. I, Tibby, have heard many wise people suggest that shy teens grow into the most interesting people because they work harder to overcome their problem, and in the working, they excel and develop along the right lines. Anyway, it's something to think about. It's something to try. It can't do one thing but make you more friends. Now can it ? FASHION FADS: Charm bracelets brace-lets with tiny individual lipsticks of various shades attached to a gold link chain. Teens who have them are really envied. We know (Continued on Page 5) 'Twixt Us Teens (Continued from Page 2) where you can buy one for yourself your-self if you want to be fashionable and also conveniently prepared for any colored costume you might choose. After all, a girl in her teens has loads on her mind . . it's hard to remember to change lipsticks lip-sticks in her purse everyday. But if you have every color right near at hand (no pun intended!) and a lovely bracelet, too, well you can't lose can you ? PARTY LINE: Consider a platter plat-ter party on a more organized basis for your next informal at home. Ask each guest to bring one or two of his or her favorite records and be prepared to tell a bit about the recording artist. To serve . . a big round layer cake frosted with fudge icing (to represent the record) with a "label" of white frosting in the center. In the middle mid-dle of that put a chocolate drop upside down to form the hole. If you're really ambitious, use a cake decorating set and write "Platter Party as done by US!" |
