Hollywood Nights - Dolly Special '81

Quite a cute little Hollywood themed silks and satins feature which according to the credit was shot at Harlow Restaurant in Sydney.  I tried to find out if this restaurant was still going, but alas Google did not produce me with any information.  It's kinda funny to think of carpet inside a restaurant, but I guess back in '81 - carpets were everywhere!  You can even see stains on the carpet which illustrates carpet in a restaurant not being a very good idea at all!  The fashions in this spread are a little on the daggy side, but some of the pieces are quite cute, namely both the outfits in last photo, and I was surprised to see that the jumpsuit was from Katies of all places!

A Short Sequins - Dolly November 1985

November 1985
Model Meighan
Photography Daniel Mayer

I don't always like the Fashion Workshop features that Dolly did - but this one is pretty cool.  The styling in this one reminds me of the Take a Walk (... on the wild side) looks in terms of the make-up and slightly rock-edge it takes.  I am adoring the lurex socks in the last image together with the Madonna style crucifix dangling from the ear.  Photography in this is by Andrew Southam and hair and  make up by Aaren - who did the styling in this Scrambled fashion spread.  I like the style of whoever this Aaren person is!  Oh and I must mention the heart shaped sunglasses are from Granny May's.  I am still so upset to this day that the stores are no longer - I adored the stationary and cool stickers from that store *sob*.
