Summer of “I Will Stand Sort Of Close To You”

Year: 1967
Um? These are teenagers. No, really.
When I think “1967″ I think things like…oh, I dunno. The Beatles releasing Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. I do not think this couple is preparing for the Summer of Love.
Perhaps Summer of Like? Summer of Friendly Handshakes?
I’m pretty sure whatever their summers included, heading to San Francisco was not part of their itinerary.
True story: The sofa has more character than her dress. This sweet young thing also seems unsure about having an actual HIGH hairdo (so scandalous!) and has therefore settled for some in-between fanned-out bun thing I do not get. It’s like she’s Whistler’s Mother: The Prom Version.
The dude I’m not sure about. His buzz cut and hands-to-himself posture suggests he’s an upstanding young man who does not understand all those silly Vietnam protesters. The glint in his eye, however, suggests maybe he’s getting ready to cut a rug. At least he won’t be tripping over his pants.
I guarantee you that she made (and designed)her dress herself. Or maybe momma did. However, that baby is homemade. Not sure why the mushroom hair.
