You'll Stop The Show - Fabulous magazine, 6th June 1964

A Fabulous fashion feature, featuring some Shadowy 'props'!

This is really the sort of thing that should've be printed in colour... since the author had to describe the colours of the models' outfits... "Look at that turquoise trimming against her flame gold hair"? Well I would, if I could...

(Personally I don't really like any of the dresses but I'd wear one if it meant I got to cuddle Hank!!!)

Fashion editor Gill says: You'll stop the show in your latest gad-about gear. Take out three slick chicks here with those marvellous Shadows — they're all wearing the Fabbest matching dresses and coats. They're the neatest and greatest out.

[above pic with Brian] No guesses as to why the girls are in one big tizz-waz — they've a night out at the London Palladium with four very dateable, handsome Shadows. Below left: White Rayon dress with pink, lemon, or pale blue flowers to match its coat colour. By Shubette. Below right: Shifty dress in Shintoa with coat to match. Colours are pink, coral, blue or turq. Also by Shubette.

[above pic with Hank] Say Hank. . . don't look now, but be warned. It's all part of the tender trap —  and she's a very cute gal. In fact, she thinks you're the dreamiest, and she's so right, of course! Her whizz of a dress is in white linen weave with turq and white floral trimming. Other colours are red with red and white, or turq with turq and white. Dress and coat by Mansfield.

Here they all are, I was wondering where Bruce and John had disappeared to! The posters in the background are for Charlie Drake's Man In The Moon musical which ran at the Palladium over the Christmas season of 1963. Cliff and the boys would be appearing there a year later with Aladdin...

Birds of a fine feather flock together, and you must admit, they look very fine birds indeed! Just look how they've got the boys all lined up! Brian, John, Hank, Bruce, we love you all. But natch! Ingrid's coat and dress cost 7 gns. by Shubette. 

This little bird's dressed for the kill, any moment now she'll be stalking her prey. . . boys, you're on sticky ground! Helen's cool floral print dress looks really lush with its matching coat in pink. By Shubette 11 gns. No wonder she's caught their eye, she's too startling.

A Fab bird this one, and real hip on her gear too. Take a peek at that white coat. It's too cool. And has she got a flair for colour. Look at that turquoise trimming against her flame gold hair. Coat and dress combination linen-weave. Simply the gear, by Mansfield, 14 gns.

I found this other photo, not in the article, of Brian with the girls again. He's very happy about his predicament!
