May 1988 Fashion Etc.: Beaches, Bathing Suits & Natural Beauty

Mar 30, 2021, 09:00 AM

It's about to be summer, which means it's time for us all to look at some swimsuits, photographed in a tropical locale (St. John in the Virgin Islands, to be precise). Bright colors? Black? Some all-white dresses? All represented. Catherine also lets you in on the secrets of how models always look so perfect in magazines (it's all kinds of sorcery). Then you can go ahead and plunder your household pantry to make some natural masks and tinctures for your face and hair. We're also talking haircuts, hair dye, a whole mess of ads, Sassy Club, Christina's turn in the Diary spotlight, and much more. Put on your whitest dress, try not to spill a Coke on it, and join us!
