The “Menstrual Cramp”
The “Discreet Armpit Sniff Test”
The “Hey, What’s That Over There?”
The “Why Yes, I Do Practice Yoga”
The “Ambiguous Sexual Orientation”
The “Waiting For The Mothership”
The “Oh No, Did I Forgot To Turn Off The Iron?”
The “Bad News Coach…I Think I Pulled My Quadricep”
The “Oh My God, I Am Never Drinking Tequila Again”
Too bad the poses are so ridiculous because those sweaters are actually nice!
I think I am a little too familiar with the last pose….
Who wears gloves with their bathrobe??
What Ari said…
One tequila
Two tequila
Three tequila
FLOOR!!
Its not a bathrobe – its a sweater coat
abso-freakin’-lutely HI-larious!
Model no. 1 bears an uncanny resemblance to Sandra Bullock. What on earth is that ghostly blob next to poor, bored Sandra?
I don’t know what is more freaky, the poses or the Twilight Zone lighting.
This is what happens when art photograghers realize that they need a real career.
None of these girls have hair that I would ever want. I can only imagine the numbers of empty AquaNet cans rolling about the floor after this photo shoot.
Armpit sniff girl looks like she’s being enveloped by the “the companion” from the old Star Trek episode Metamorphosis. The only thing she’s missing is her scarf.
Talk about your flood pants on Yoga girl. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw her was she’s posing in one of those “tampon stances” we’ve seen before.
The art direction is strange..foreground elements hide the faces of the models in 3 of the pictures. Maybe, the “models” didn’t want to be recognized!
Clearly the Kennedy era was a distressing time for women wearing knit. Taken collectively, they all seem so… FORLORN.
Maybe their Stepford Wives batteries are winding down… they know the end of their time is nigh.
Model number 3 looks like she’s quietly trying to make number 4.
Did model #2 (the armpit sniffer) just notice that wasp nest on her shoulder?????
#1 and #8 could also be titled “Oh WHY is the ladies’ room line so long?”
hilarious as always!
Wow! Back at the top of your game, gals!
Collectively, I think this is “The Ingmar Bergman Collection.” Or maybe Irving Bergman. Either way, sexually ambiguous model in red is discovering that the wall behind her is made of jello, and her companion likes it that way.
I think you’re right about the mothership, but I would have titled that one, “oh look, a safe.”
that is a model pose jamboree
Just how old is that pantyhouse that the photographer (on loan from Penthouse Magazine) has stretched over his camera lens?
#3 is really doing a discreet little crotch scratch while cleverly diverting attention elsewhere.
It IS strange how many of those sweaters are ones I would wear. Perhaps the weird poses make us focus on the clothes?
You guys are so funny! Um, anyone else dig the hair do on tequila girl?
Whoever made the Star Trek™ reference rocks.
This site is no fun anymore. Nobody maintains it…sigh.
Um…I really want to knit the blue sweater. I’ll have to stop laughing first, of course.
I covet the mothership sweater…. Do you think she left it behind when it picked her up???
You can never have enough hats, gloves, and shoes.
that last one is on the cover of the band the white octave’s album “no. 6312″. (alternate pose) i think that is also sweater “no. 6312″. mmmmm. soooo emo.
The “Why Yes, I Do Practice Yoga”:
Why, yes, I did audition to be a Bond-babe.
I just found your site and OMG LOVE the pic with the caption about pulling her quad. Such an athlete she is
I linked to your blog from Linda’s “Whatever is on my mind today” and I have to tell you I had my hand over my mouth reading the captions on the pictures. See I’m at work and they kinda discourage laughing at your computer….that means you aren’t doing any work!
But thanks for the laugh…your captions were so dead on!
The “Hey, what’s over there?” pose looks strikingly similar to the “Exhibit A: How To Pee In The Woods And Still Look Stylish” stance. Not that I know about stylishly peeing in the woods or anything. Ahem.
Oh my God, I had that book or those books, and knitted at least three of those sweaters! I’m giving away my age aren’t I?
I knitted #1 as a Christmas Present to my ex-Sister-in-law in apricot. Then Number 7 for myself in a heather green with wool skirt matched to the yarn. Let’s see, this had to have been in 1962 or 1963! Yikes!
The model on the left in the “Ambiguous Sexual Orientation” pose reminds me of this mannequin they have at this lingerie/bridal shop in town…her outfits always seem to say “Come and get me, tiger”, but her body language clearly says “Not tonight, I’ve got a headache!”
