Known as America's Sweethearts for more than fifty years; Dianne, Peggy, Kathy and Janet, the Lennon Sisters entertained and enchanted as ladies of loveliness in voice and demeanor.
For me, I can listen to them, and laugh at some of the quirkiness of the times and the hairdos, but still, there is a studied elegance to their minimalist movements and hypnotic charm.
Ya just don't see it anymore.
I admit, I love the hairdo's. Certainly the bouffant is of it's time, but it is a time when being finished, lady like, polished and perfumed was a standard to which to aspire, not something from which to run.
When people argue of the repression of women of the time I understand and agree. The dynamic had to change, of course, for progress to be made. Unfortunately what was lost along the way is a missing commodity today.
I still look at these ladies and see the power of pretty, and the lost art of loveliness.
