A Last Look At Summer

 Ahh, the end of summer is always a time for reflection.  This year I'm not sure what we should be reflecting on?!?!?  Anyway, here are some sizzlin' swimwear from the 70s to take your mind off of things for a short while....

Mystery Model Revisited!!

Recently I had a comment from a reader about the identity of one of the more popular catalog models of the late 70s and early 80s.

One reader identified her as Julie Ford, but I don't think that this is the same model.  Any ideas out there???

Yeah, I'm sure that you remember her now!!  The thing is that her identify has remained a mystery despite my best sleuthing efforts?

Here she is with Jayne.

And again with Jayne.

One more time with Jayne!!

Okay, okay, the guy in the bow tie is getting kind of creepy here with that stare!!

And now some pics from the Sears Spring/Summer catalog

Well here's hoping that we'll get some answers from you guys out there!!!

Maillots and Rompers, Oh My!!

And from JCPenney.......

Jayne Modean and Karen Bruun!! Yeah this is one of those sales circulars where the picture quality is low but the 70s model hotness is high!!  Oh, those where the days my friends!!

K Club Special, Part 45 - Jayne Modean!!

Always a reader's favorite, Jayne was multi talented in her career including some great pics in the Big Book Catalogs!!

And in celebration of the end of summer, let's make this a swimwear post featuring Jayne!  Any objections?  I didn't think so!!

Jayne was the featured model in the first Inside Sports swimwear edition circa 1981!

Another shot from that magazine!!

And from Aldens!!

And Jayne with our favorite Mystery Model (still trying to find her name!) (2)

And a close up of the inset pic!!

(2) The Mystery Model was popular in the Big Book catalogs staring in the very late 70s and into the mid 80s.  Anyone have any ideas who she was??

K Club Special, Part 42: Jayne Modean in Aldens!

Jayne is always a favorite, so here she is from the 1977 FW Aldens catalog!!!

These two seem WAY to happy about something!

 Here we have Jayne with Barbara Elliot as a bonus!

 So what, exactly, is Jayne so surprised about?!?

So, once again, What's so funny??  I guess Jayne was telling the other gal a joke or something.

Finally some nice dresses to end this post.  Jayne is looking good!

Speaking of looking good, let's not end this post just yet.  Nope, how about a bonus pic from the same catalog???

Yes, 1977 was a VERY good year for Aldens!!

K Club Special 40, Jayne Modean, Part 3~~

Certainly one of the most popular models that was featured in the Big Book catalogs of the 70s and 80s was Jayne Modean. I know that because with Blogger one can see what searches led to your site and people looking for Jayne is one the most popular.  So why not feature her again!!

A modeling comp card of Jayne!!  I've never seen anyone before or since that could actually make a snorkel look sexy!! (1)

Jayne was also on a number of teen magazine covers in the mid 70s.

(1)

This is from a site called "Teen Sleuth."  What is cool is that in the description her name has a hyperlink attached to it that takes one to my first special on her!!  I'm so flattered!!

Jayne even made uniforms look sexy (especially in front of the oh-so-realistic background.)

This was probably accidental, but is Jayne looking up at that model who is looking down on her?!?

"Folkloric??"  Apparently that is a real word!!

(1)

Jayne from a very well known Inside Sports swimsuit issue (their first!) (1)

 More unis!!

All I can say here is "That's sooooo 80s!"

(1)

Jayne did some acting in the 80s. This is a still from a TV show called "Street Hawk"  Yeah, I don't remember it either.

She is perhaps best known for the movie "Spring Break."

And finally a special treat for all you Jayne Modean fans....

You're welcome!!
