Blinking Next to the Sub Lagoon, June 1967
You can see why I had to post today's photos as a pair! They're not super exciting, it's fun to see this groovy gal posing next to the beautiful Sub Lagoon, filled with Bombay sapphire gin. I blink in about 90% of the photos taken of me, so I feel a camaraderie with this girl. I'll bet dad waited too long, fiddling with some knobs or something.
The second try came out perfect! Knobs were properly twiddled. The girl's short hair, Op Art dress, and frosted lipstick all say "1967" to me.

Major-
Today's lass looks just lovely - especially when she fixed her bangs, 'just so'. Kudos to the beautiful color, which gives off a decidedly 1960's vibe, as opposed to some of the extreme [yet almost beyond real] Kodachrome colors from the 1950's formulation.
I do wonder what the landscapers were up to, as the entire area behind "Julie" is nothing but a sea of dirt. It usually has some "greenery", if not a complete carpet of flowers and shrubs.
Thanks, Major.
I sense a "Twiggy" influence here. Although I think Twiggy burst on the scene a couple of years prior to 1967(?)... Close enough.
It's not just the blinkety, blink eyes; it's also the fly-away hair, which doesn't look as attractive all mussed up. In the 2nd image, she'd make a good stand-in for Mona Lisa... except she's smiling too much. It needs to be more subtle.
Nice bright, saturated colors in these photos. They couldn't have been taken more than a couple of seconds apart because the CM at the Sub dock is squatting in both photos.
Something different today! Thanks, Major.
@ JB-
"... these photos... couldn't have been taken more than a couple of seconds apart because the CM at the Sub dock is squatting in both photos."
This cast member was known for doing leg squats while loading guests onto the Subs - so we can't be certain.

And she has a pixie cut! (I think.)

JB, we can also see in the first pic, that a submarine has maybe only it's nose in the waterfall. But in the second pic, the sub is more than three-quarters of the way in.
I hope that girl was able to see the Carousel of Progress that day, and all of the other attractions in the "New Tomorrowland"!
Thanks, Major!
I have a feeling that NEW TOMORROWLAND wasn’t quite open yet when these photo’s were actually taken …. For one thing there is absolutely no PeopleMover or Autopia activity …. We also see the original Monorail Station which will be demolished very soon.
Major, have you ever had a reader or viewer write to you and say, "OMG! That photo you posted today is ME when I was 16!" or something along those lines?
