there was a brief period in the late sixties and very early seventies when knee socks for young women were a trend

in January of sixty-nine ran into an old girlfriend from junior high; we had both just recently completed our undergraduate studies

she had taken employment with the Rand Corporation and happened to mention she got some flack about wearing knee socks to work; evidently someone of an older generation thought the look unprofessional


-----

When I think of style and sense-of-aesthetic, Rand Corp. does not immediately come to mind. (Insert emoticon with blank stare).

;)

she is a very brainy lady - well beyond me small ken

had recently matriculated Reed College in Oregon - reportedly one must be a MENSA scholar to gain admission there...

i attended a plain old public university

here be a puzzler for our vintage celeb experts -

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8c303cce1e.jpg

ran across this image of a young lady a-wheel on the back lot of a film studio

seems like i should recognize her but am unable to do so

clear she is on a borrowed studio machine as her first name would not be "bud" or "bill"

image suggests a mid-to-late '60's date based on hair, clothing, shoes and convertible in the background

Elke Sommer?

Looks like Sophia Loren, to me.

Kudos for pedaling (actually doing anything) in those cockroach cracker footwear. Those metal pedals are sometimes bastards even with shoes.
Speaking of the man,

Must have been posted before...but just in case.

While "Breaking Away" was brought up, here are scans of two theater lobby cards from a set I got from the U.K. I also have a set from Canada, but they are too large for me to scan.

Normally I don’t give a toss about “celebrities” since they’re just people doing a job but this one popped up on a Fecebook thing and I loved it

Some celebrities aren't just people. They're more like aliens from some far more advanced society sent here to save us. (ymmv.)
