I enjoyed your memories and insights into the advertising world Mary. Sadly, I agree with you that the "glamour" of those days are behind us, not only in advertising, but in our modern world as a whole.

I am torn between relishing the pared down, accessible culture that is popular today, (because I am so drawn to the simple things in life) and longing to see a little more glamour in our society. 

Events that were "little black dress" appropriate are becoming more and more "dressy jean" options.

You looked beautiful and focused in your photos, today you are a more refined and lovely version of your younger self.
