Fashion Week Pt. 2

Continuing with vintage fashion week is this February 1972 shot also from New Orleans Square. The accompanying publicity blurb:

EVENING ELEGANCE - - Inspired by the rich surroundings of Disneyland's New Orleans Square, Cheryl prepares for an evening of elegance in her creation from the Fashion Gallery at Bullock's La Habra. Sleek lines form a bold impression of color in this new season's shawl look, deeply fringed, designed by Mr. Blackwell. This will be just one of the in-look fashions showcased by Bullock's La Habra during Disneyland's "Cinderella Festival," March 3-4.



Looks like Mlle. Antoinette's has been around quite awhile!

Fashion Week at Daveland!

For no other reason than just because, I am declaring this week "Fashion Week." This recently acquired vintage image from February 1972 more than justifies it in my book! Here is the vintage publicity blurb that accompanied this photo:

CAJUN QUEEN - - Dressed in a striking Anne Klein designed ensemble from the new Innovator Shop at Bullock's La Habra, Cheryl pauses on one of the quaint streets in Disneyland's New Orleans Square. Her vibrant red blazer is complemented perfectly by the raw silk blouse and all-linen plaid skirt. Bullock's La Habra was one of our fashion leaders presenting 1972's most exciting creations during Disneyland's "Cinderella Festival," March 3-4.

A closeup of the signage for Lafitte's Silver Shop and Cristal d'Orleans:



Looks like the original Cristal d'Orleans sign is still there:

Town Square Thursday

Being able to scan negatives is so much better than a print. The details that are available in a negative are crazy amazing. These images come from a 1958 batch that I recently acquired. This first one looks like it came out of a fashion magazine; how about that hat? Image two shows the Omnibus parked in front of the Main Street Train Station.



How about a detailed view? The recently opened Grand Canyon Diorama is featured on the Omnibus' banner:



This alternate angle looks like it was shot from the platform of the train.



The Alice in Wonderland attraction is featured on the opposite side of the Omnibus:



The last one for today shows the Horse-Drawn Streetcar and one of those amazingly vintage hitching posts.

Disneyland Entrance, 1970's

40 years ago, here's how the entrance to Disneyland looked. Zooming in for a look at the ticket prices, you might spit out your coffee when you see what they used to be!



From the same roll of film comes this vintage view:



matched with a similar contemporary view:



I'd also like to note that today is my mom's 80th birthday; many thanks for always encouraging me and being such a great mom!
