- Where has all the glamor gone? HOLLYWOOD'S
NEW STYLE SETTERS??!!
- TV and Movie Screen, July 1969
Imagine Joan
Crawford looking like an unmade bed? Or Loretta young dining
with her hair looking as through she had combed it with an egg
beater? Or Rozalind Russell wearing tattered jeans to a star-studded
preview? Or Barbara Stanwyck showing up at a public function
in a dress in need of a disinfectant? Impossible? Today, however,
there is a new breed of star who has taken over the social scene.
They are seen in public places--restaurants, discotheques, nightclubs--in
garb that defies description. They are, if you'll pardon the
expression, the new style setters. Does freedom or "doing
your own thing" require one to be sloppy, unkempt and totally
unglamorous? Unconventionality is all very well, but even for
the nonconforming woman, it does impose certain limitations if
she wishes to keep any of her feminine charm. With these "style-setters"
out in full force, it is difficult to tell a Hollywood starlet
from a--Beatle!! We look sadly toward the fast-approaching day
when best dressed lists are passe and it will be "in"
to make the "ten best worst dressed."

Are Peter Deuel's fingers signifying some kind of victory or two
burgers well-done?
CJC's Note:
The other style setters (whose pictures have not been scanned)
are Mike Nesmith, Sal Mineo, Peggy Lipton, Candice Bergen, Peter
Fonda, and Peter Tork. Although some of their clothes look unusual,
I wouldn't describe any of them as looking sloppy or unkempt.
By the way, Pete had the largest photo.
