How did miniMadMOD60s get started?
About three years ago,
I was toying with the idea of making a video about
facial exercise and
putting it on an infomercial. I was working on a business
plan and was advised
to mention that I had been a top model for awhile in
the Sixties. After receiving my
proposal, the investor did a Google search on
me. Nothing came up but two walk-ons
I had in a few movies, mostly just for
fun because I knew the directors. He actually
said that for a top model there
was nothing at all about me on the web. It was almost
embarrassing.
Luckily I had
my yellowing tearsheets,
to prove that I was telling the truth.
As I looked through
my scrapbooks and the loose magazine pages I noticed
that they were getting
fragile with age. I thought about having them
scanned and put onto a CD so that
I could preserve them.
But it got me
to thinking.
Why shouldn't there be a website about the
great models of the
Sixties, Seventies and before? These girls who were all
over the covers of Vogue
and Bazaar and doing ten page spreads inside. If
there had been a web then, they
would all have been all over the Internet.
Today, if a company or even a person does
not have a web presence they
are often overlooked.
