LOL! I thought the same thing back then, does Diana have on Flo's wig? As in any life story I'm sure that there were plenty of good times as well as the bad times. Just the way are own lives have been. Too much emphasis has been placed on the bad times.Quote:

...and there was me thinking I was only one that sent off for all those extras.
My mum used to tell me I was crazy! She used to say "You don't want that, you'll grow out of it soon".....and I'm still doing it.
WOWweeeeee-Wowwwowwowwww!! Joseph...Great photos and pics!! Diana in that blonde wig. And that photo with the shades:cool:....all I could think of is "Billie Holiday....BILLIE HOLIDAY!";)
Great stuff...thank you, sir!
Thank you so much for sharing these gems with us.Quote:

My Mom said kind of the same thing to me, especially about my Marilyn Monroe fan magazines! LOL! But she liked the Supremes so with them she would just say I spent too much money on Supremes stuff! lolQuote:

LOL!!!!!!!!!! I think the Planet Zorgon [[or Zargon) part is real, but I made up the grasshopper part. But I wouldn't be surprised if there was one of those great B-movie sci-fi thrillers with a similar title.Quote:

Haha, the girls are upstairs in BG's office, probably playing acetate discs from a QC meeting. What a hoot!
In a previous pic, yes, I believe they are wearing each others' wigs. Diana has Flos. Flo has Mary's. And Mary has Flo's. Haha!
What about the possibility that in that picture of Diana, Mary and Flo with the "different" wigs on that they were in wig shop trying on different styles? Clearly, Mary is trying on a wig [[she's holding a hand mirror and looking doubtful), Diane's trying to adjust it and convince Mary it looks good on her, and Florence is laughing--probably because Mary is clearly convinced that is NOT the wig for her. Seriously, though... I don't think Diana is "wearing Flo's wig"--when have we seen any other pictures of Florence wearing that color wig in that style? I vote for that pic being from a wig shop visit or the wig department in a department store [[Saks Fifth Avenue in Detroit?).
I think you are right on all points danman. In fact, the more I think about it, those photos may have accompanied a story titled "Shopping with The Supremes". Can't be sure, but it sounds familiar. LOL.

Wonderful photos and clippings sophisticated_soul. Thank you for sharing them.
Roberta
Sounds plausible. I think this photo was in the LOOK magazine profile on the Supremes from 1966.Quote:

Reese - LOOK, that sounds familiar too. I wish I had done less clipping and more saving of the magazines, but after awhile I just didn't have room for all those magazines! lol.
Yes, that photo in question was from the LOOK magazine profile on The Supremes from 1966. :-)
The picture in post #95 of this thread is one of my favorites of The Girls. It occurred to me recently that the photo may have served as the inspiration for the artist of the "Greatest Hits" album portraits.

Thanks for sharing all these great photos, Sophie. I really liked Flo's "look" that she had going on during her final months with The Supremes. But you can tell she really wasn't happy. Her smile even looks forced in this photo.Quote:

Of course they don't compare to what I've seen you put together on your website, but I thought folks might enjoy some of the less seen photos as well. I'm very happy they have. Btw I tried to access your website today and I couldn't. Are you down for repairs or updating?:confused:
No, I unfortunately made the decision to discontinue my website. I haven't had any time. I would like to create another someday in the future. Maybe a website with only Supremes photos. I've saved literally thousands over the years from the internet.
Thanks for inquiring about my site, Sophie. You made me smile. It makes me happy that people still remember it.
Wow Carlo, I didn't know about that. That is entirely bogus and I'm really sorry to hear that is what happened. And you're right, you should have been treated with more respect after everything you've done for The Supremes legacy. There are Supremes fans my age who don't have the knowledge and passion for The Girls that you do. I admire that about you. Next time Universal needs help tell them to stick it! I know that's not your nature, you seem to be a very forgiving person. But I'm getting old and cantankerous and when folks mess with my friends I can get really cantankerous!!! LOL!!:cool:
Thank you Joseph. For those who are wondering, I went on one of my bitter rants again regarding the legal letter I got from Universal in response to my Supremes website. I edited my post above, deciding it was better not to get into it again and I should just let it go. lol. Thanks for your kind words, Joseph. You're a great friend.
Your welcome friend. Man I only got to see the website a few times. Dang! Glad you're smiling now though.:cool:Quote:
