Rave October 1966

Hello October! Here we have the 1966 issue of Rave featuring John (Maus) Walker, it may not be my darling Scott, but it's a Walker at least and in fur nonetheless!

Some great ads inside, including this super classic Miners Hairspray one.

Fresh Cream?

And you must all know by now that I love a bit of fur (vintage only of course!), this spread is just fab & I have total hair envy of this chick! 

Rave September 1969

So better late than never as they say here is the September issue of swinging 60's mod mag Rave, this one is from 1969, and of course you all know that is Mr Jagger gracing the cover. By this year the format of the magazine had changed slightly, for one it is larger in size and also a lot less teeny boppy. The issues covered seem more serious and grown up, covering such themes as religion and conform schools. Unfortunately for me there is a lot less fashion featured, but it does focus on some more obscure bands & musicians.

So here are the Zip Girls, don't even try and ask me what a Zip Girl is, it seems like they were really trying to make the phrase "happen"! This feature showcases four up & coming models & actresses, including the late wife of Ian MacLagan who was married to Keith Moon at this time.

And finally.... here is a Baby Doll Make up Ad, I know that Miss Peelpants & Sweet Jane have both featured these before on their blogs - but I'm sure this one hasn't been outed yet?!?

Rave August 1966

Oh you lucky lucky people I'm really spoiling you, this is probably the best Rave cover ever & one of the best issues. Of course we have the fantabulous Steve Marriott & Ronnie Lane of The Small Faces on the front...

Here's a great pic & article of the mighty Action, fancy a trip to see them saturday night? Someone get me a time machine! 

This feature on how to turn Princess Anne into a mod is classic, she does look better with a bob doesn't she?!

And finally another We Don't Smoke ad, shamefully I missed this in my special post.

There are of course tons more super articles & pics, but if you want to see them you'll have to go & get your own copy ; p

Join The Tea Set!

Shame on me for forgetting to add this pic to my last post! How cool is this ad? It really is tea-riffic! I totally need one of these tea shirts! Does anyone know what the Tea Set is all about? From what I can gather it's some sort of promo from a tea company....

Rave July 1966

Rave July 1966

Wooops my usual Rave post is a couple of days late! 

This month we have the divine Scott Walker on the cover from July 1966.

Inside there is another city guide, this time it is Paris, I totally love the kitschy illustrations, and there are some really super pop art frocks.

 

How do you fancy being the new Rave Girl? Win a date with the Walkers, a Mary Quant & Vidal Sassoon makeover? Oh yes please!!!

 

I'll be back next month with another issue. 

Rave June 1966

Another new month is upon us and with is brings a new Rave cover. This is from June 1966 and features David McCallum who is most famous for his role in the sixties spy series Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Another interesting feature in this issue is the Ravers Pop Guide to New York, I'll bet most of the boutiques & clubs are long gone now....

Miners Lipstick Ad from Rave May 1966.

Rave May 1966

This months Rave cover is one of the most sought after issues. It features Jeff Beck & Keith Relf of The Yardbirds on front and has some great bits inside such as this super rare feature on the legendary 60's mod band The Action.

Talking Eyes

Vintage Max Factor ad from 1967

I totally need to try out some of these looks, I think I like Groovy Talk the best...

Vintage Crush - Scott Walker

There's no doubt about it, I am officially obsessed with Scott Walker, his beautifully haunting voice and songwriting plus he was rather - actually terribly handsome! So as he is my current vintage crush I have compiled a selection of scans from my collection of Rave mags - hope you enjoy, as I'm sure it'll be the first post of many!
