Meant to say Cor, the story behind the schoolroom one..... it's an Ian Wright photo, the same as the one that Cas won in the raffle and the explanation is taken from his site.


A local paper published a story claiming Dusty Springfield was making £1,000 a week, singing in a Stockton nightclub. At the Redcar grammer School, reporter Mike Hope and I watched spellbound as Dusty proceeded to give the sixth form a lesson in economics. At the end of her chalk scribblings, Dusty detailed how the £1,000 was divided up amongst her band, costumers, managers and entourage, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was left with only a farthing per week, pocket money.

Impressing that even back then, they stuck to good publishing practice... 'never check a good story'. Good Dusty got the chance to defend herself.

That studio shot is the closest to Dusty being undone that I've ever seen! And she's so pretty.

[allherfaces]

She looks rather androgynous to me in that photo!

[Cardiff Bluesgirl]

she had so many different looks didnt she and even the most flamboyant ones have a certain something to them. she must have stopped the room every time she walked in.

She looks rather androgynous to me in that photo!

It's that jacket, isn't it? And the scarf almost looks like a tie. I was thinking the same. Hard to wrap one's head around that despite all these different outfits, it was still the same person inside, isn't it?

Not too sure about this one Cor., thought they looked a bit like twins, give or take the beard, not a fave, but there are too many different looks to her aren;t there.

How about this one.

this is a funny one Cas, she looks as if shes thinking "this lot are as crazy as a box of frogs"

I don't like that 78 shot at all, I thought that the first time I saw it. I think it's one of the most unflattering I've ever seen of Dusty. For me, she didn't suit flat hair and I think that really she probably knew that herself, but went through a phase of wanting California casual before succumbing to the Elnett again!

I was looking at my copy of the one with the Vaudeville Band only yesterday but your copy is much better Cas, so thanks Here's Dusty with a group of ladies modelling their hairdo's for Honey magazine

[Corinna]

Guess we have to agree to disagree on that one then. I like your interpretation though, from California casual to the Elnett. Made me chuckle.

Just keep 'em coming. We want to see ALL Dusty's faces!

[allherfaces]

Carole beat me to the punch -- I think it's that Dusty's hair is too flat in the image in question. It accentuates the length of her face and makes her look 'horsey'--while those beehives and bouffants--I don't know they crowed her features. Now if I'd met her in 78 and she weren't Dusty Springfield, I might have thought big hair at that point would have been seriously retro , but there you have it, big hair, big star! (Hopefully I'm making sense to someone out there. )

Bravo on the Honey mag pic!

Shall we revise the debate about why Dusty's hand appears GIANT-size on Burt's tummy? (If I promise not to ask who's hand it is on Dusty's leg? --where is THAT photo...or are you all afraid to post it?)

[daydreamer]

I'm not afraid

[allherfaces]

OMG who does that chick think she is with her hand on Dusty's leg!

Oh Mads [from Oz], mah deah, where are you when we need you?!

[Cas19]

Great to see all of these. I find all of Dustys styles interesting and so vaired.
