Dolly/Leichner Cover Girl Contest Winner - Dolly December 1982

As requested here is the article from the December 1982 issue featuring the 1982 Cover Girl Winner Toni O'Donoghue.  Often with these contests, it is not who wins who ends up making it big, but one of the runners up and in this case I noticed a familiar face - that being Natalie McCurry who in the last photo is second from the right.  She starred in this film in 1986 (which I am dying to see) and I'm sure was in an ad for either ruffles chips or ferrero chocolate but I can't quite remember!

 A gorgeous and striking make-up feature from this Dolly Special of '82 - my favourite year of the 80's I think!  The cover is so so sweet, and looking at the credits of this issue, this was during the reign of Lisa Wilkinson as Editor.  I do think she was the best editor Dolly Magazine has ever had, but then she was lucky to be at the helm during this period of time that's for sure.

The first shot is 'Dramatic You' and the second of course is the 'Romantic You'.  I think I prefer the dramatic one... I just stare and stare at it for ages sometimes.  It's very Duran Duran-esue and I may try and copy it for the Duran Duran concert that I'm going to in March here in Melbourne Australia!
