Continuing our
Summer Celebration, here are some of my favorite
1960s bathing suit ads. Surf through the models'
Headsheet Albums for many more bathing suit ads and editorial layouts.
Dolores Hawkins...yes, really!1963 Jantzen Ad
Sondra Peterson & Rita Egan1963 Darlene Ad
Cheryl Tiegs1966 Cole Ad
Paula Feiten1966 Bobbie Brooks Ad
Gai Wright & Joan Thompson1968 In Sportswear AdI fell in love with
Joan's bathing suit the first time I saw it in
Seventeen! A short time later, I found it in my local department store. I actually took it off the rack, but I decided not to try it on. For one thing, it was out of my price range. And I realized that the material wasn't made for body surfing in the Pacific Ocean. But it really was a pretty bathing suit!
Jane Hitchcock & Kathy Jackson1969 Dune Deck AdAll of these ads can be found in the
Headsheet Albums of the individual models.
