Mom was 17 in 1969

1969 is remembered for many things. Ahem.

I bet you didn't know that the year was rung in by Mama Watson. No? Well, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of gracing the cover of Seventeen magazine, I had a little mouse (thanks Pops) dig out the old, dusty thing.

As we turn the pages, let's play True or False (answers at the bottom.) Apparently, magazines were too cheap back then to hire more than one model, as evidenced by the number of photos.

1. Kim was really 17 at the time. True or False?
2. Kim was really a ballet dancer?

3. Brunettes are the new blonde. True or false?

4. Kim really went to Aspen for this ad. T or F?
5. Kim believes in killing animals for fur coats.

6. Kim really looks this sweet.

1. TRUE! It's not just a clever magazine title!
2. True.
3. FALSE! She learned this the hard way (ME!)
4. FALSE! This magazine is full of lies!
5. False. Phew.
6. TRUE! Honest.

Did you happen to see this month's Twenty-Six magazine? No?

That is so great, I just love it! and I have SO many questions... did she enjoy it, how did it all come about, what was the fascination with brunettes?!! What a cool experience, let's make 26 happen!

I got all the quiz questions correct. Hahaha!!! I remember seeing this magazine at your house years and years ago during our High School days. I was just as impressed then as I am today. :)
