The fashions are fantastic, the colors are bold, and the people are always smiling. I liberated some folks from old Sears catalogs and let them travel to Switzerland (the black and white version, circa 1930) by collaging every page in a vintage book seen in the slideshow below. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The pages will move forward automatically, but if you're in a hurry, use the "Next" button to page forward. You can go backward by clicking the arrows at the bottom left of the page.</span></p>

font-size: large;">When I was a kid, people used to tell me I should smile more. "You'd be so pretty if you only smiled!" Even my grandmother -- when she caught me frowning or pouting -- would say, "Watch out, or your face will freeze that way!" I hated being told things like that. Why should I smile if I didn't feel happy? If I'm feeling sad, does that make me ugly?</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I'm guessing you might have heard the same things. The photo on the right was taken in a photo booth at my local Woolworth's, when I was in junior high. My friend Janie and I made silly faces, definitely not smiling.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">These memories came to me when I was working on a collage for the NW Collage Society Spring Show. At first, I played around with vintage makeup ads aimed at teens in the 1970s -- my era. Remember Bonnie Bell "lip smackers"? Or "Baby Doll" makeup? Or "kissing potion"?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">I incorporated these ads into the background of my collage, along with illustrations of dolls from the same era -- Barbie, Crissy, and Kissy (of course!)</span></span></p><div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjQ-R2EWG_WeHxhKfb5dDR_jCi0Q18gsPn_QEufRLFLymyy8upnOg-6sem5NuBIQWwNkpc08MJG_fVMD3__13CIPIXaVCQXrTmKefB6oJbWn2gggDEyPwyK5f0QK0RHZk2MuG0vgZT5TBPZtAn_gesb55W5RyEB4FMrcyba-T1M1jl4jchpc9PbnAb2wQ=s1000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vintage makeup ad from 1970s" border="0" data-original-height="649" data-original-width="1000" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjQ-R2EWG_WeHxhKfb5dDR_jCi0Q18gsPn_QEufRLFLymyy8upnOg-6sem5NuBIQWwNkpc08MJG_fVMD3__13CIPIXaVCQXrTmKefB6oJbWn2gggDEyPwyK5f0QK0RHZk2MuG0vgZT5TBPZtAn_gesb55W5RyEB4FMrcyba-T1M1jl4jchpc9PbnAb2wQ=w640-h416" title="Vintage makeup ad from 1970s" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwQDzPdinBV0jdpCVkE4qtUjSdzy1UiLjRCbjRCzm0CkNGlA4AWe4If6cA3Hx7FIdWYkKElwntgIluBOOT9XQbKR633xCiRnbpKGuEuxhODYCEWu3vsWfPqczBmAaRoOhqNS_UWUViub_Sjp7xnEVChHmdxOOjI8gmoYmBoQW_zqk68iOlc9FyKPJXyQ=s1000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pretty if you smile collage -- closeup" border="0" data-original-height="902" data-original-width="1000" height="361" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwQDzPdinBV0jdpCVkE4qtUjSdzy1UiLjRCbjRCzm0CkNGlA4AWe4If6cA3Hx7FIdWYkKElwntgIluBOOT9XQbKR633xCiRnbpKGuEuxhODYCEWu3vsWfPqczBmAaRoOhqNS_UWUViub_Sjp7xnEVChHmdxOOjI8gmoYmBoQW_zqk68iOlc9FyKPJXyQ=w400-h361" title="Pretty if you smile collage -- closeup" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhPD5y4BNb19xkXdAhAZG7ww2-oTxOtlf-MIM4x8-A9QZlsTt9_Xe8oqx6d39_ISvmKdnSIWA96q9kwfAPjRP90O_xfae271eVWNmD6z4Nf291dW6JxVOs5UeQS2TUbHEpzA_3DsiSlJWxx4bwnIoiY5hJK3QfFu-WGhsZNUQ_pAWBoXNdH0J82O85HRQ=s1000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pretty if you smile collage -- closeup" border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1000" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhPD5y4BNb19xkXdAhAZG7ww2-oTxOtlf-MIM4x8-A9QZlsTt9_Xe8oqx6d39_ISvmKdnSIWA96q9kwfAPjRP90O_xfae271eVWNmD6z4Nf291dW6JxVOs5UeQS2TUbHEpzA_3DsiSlJWxx4bwnIoiY5hJK3QfFu-WGhsZNUQ_pAWBoXNdH0J82O85HRQ=w400-h384" title="Pretty if you smile collage -- closeup" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">By the time I finished the background, I realized that I wanted the piece to be about being told to smile when I was young and how that led to the strange connection between being a Girl and being Nice...and Pleasant...and Pretty.
