I only saved two for myself, so your blog now gives me access to even more of RAGS great content. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35085499.post-1160931860252855942006-10-15T10:04:00.000-07:002006-10-15T10:04:00.000-07:00Thanks for the info, Betty, and thank you for your...Thanks for the info, Betty, and thank you for your comment, Adam.

Although I just missed getting to really experience the 60's era (was too young at the time), I've always admired the spirit of rampant individuality that the fashions represented - there was a "comfort-in-your-own-skin" ease that hasn't been seen since. Having access to this vintage material, particularly through the eyes of a street-oriented fashion magazine, is priceless perspective on an important era in American fashion!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467919793098795400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35085499.post-1160685288385225732006-10-12T13:34:00.000-07:002006-10-12T13:34:00.000-07:00Hey...just to let you know....my friend Mike Malon...Hey...just to let you know....my friend Mike Malone was a buddy of the editors back in the day...and the article about going to barbering school, signed "RAy Swallow", was his...<BR/>Mike is now a pretty famous tattooer and didn't even remember writing the article till I reminded him last year.<BR/>Ray Swallow was a Bay Area tattooer in the 40s and 50s, and Mike can't remember for the life of him why he chose that alias, now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
