Anne Francis, most famous for her role in Forbidden Planet.
Vogue 1972. I am a firm believer that more can really be more in some cases – pearls, as shown here – for sure.
Sears Catalog 1980. No wonder the decade is so influential.
A jaunty bulldog brooch with one questioning red eye.

Waving hello.
