K Club Special, Part 44 - Karen Bruun, Part 6!!

Time for another K Club Special, and another feature on Karen Bruun!!

And we'll start off with some groovy knit caps!  Can't beat that!!

 Of course Karen was a mainstay in the Big Book and, well, Little Book catalogs during the 70s.  Here she is in Jewel Tea. Hey wait!  BTW that is NOT Kathy in the inset pic!

 Here we go with the mainstay of Big Book catalogs - Sears!!

 Back to the Little Books.  Here is Karen on the cover of Lane Bryant!!

And another Little Book  S&H Uniforms!!

 Another look from Lane Bryant!!  Very nice!

 SO we'll finish with a couple of Sears pics from 1978 which was rather late in Karen's long career!

Khakis with groovy accessories!!

And one more bonus pic................

Back to earlier in Karen's career, a rare find.  A Saks Pith Avenue ad (thanks to Blue Senshi!)

Random Weirdness: 70s Photoshopping Magic Continued!

And as promised...

Kathy joins the Jewel Tea virtual tour of the USA! And as an added bonus, we have a His 'n Her couples shoot.  Hmmm, the guy on teh left looks like he may be a little jealous.  Not sure jealous of who however - after all they are in San Francisco!

The Little Book Catalogs - Jewel Tea!

Many, many times, we have featured the Big Book catalogs form the major retailers of the 70s such as Sears , Penneys, Spiegel, Wards, etc.  But there were a whole other level of retailers vying for the consumer dollar back then.  And Jewel Tea was one of them!

But although they were smaller the Little Book catalogs had all of our favorite models of the 70s like Kathy along with Colleen and Joanne.

More top models of the 70s in Jewel Tea!  Looks like the gang is all here!

And it wasn't just fashions, no, no, no.  Jewel Tea carried all the groovy items of the 70s like lava lamps, black light lamps, and my favorite the starlite action mood lite!

Maybe we should get back to the models like Kathy and Kay.

And that deserves a close up of Kathy!

This pic just simply screams 70s.......

Even the clothes had those groovy 70s colors!!

Jewel Tea had all the latest fashions for the woman of the 70s!!

A really nice pic of Kathy and a smiling Colleen!!

Okay, there is one Jewel Tea catalog that got away.  It is from 1974 and I only have one pic from it....

Yeah I'm on the look out for this one.  I'll get it eventually!!

Jewel Tea went out of business in 1981.  For a brief history of the company, check this out......
