Remember the Coppertone Baby?

The woman who was the commercial artist who created this icon just died at age 88. Joyce Ballantyne Brand.

I did some looking around-- she used her 3 year old daughter 'Cheri' as the model for the famous ad.

But did you know Joyce also created pinup girls? Using her hot self as a model?? You Go Girl Joyce!!

A good story about her here.
Includes swearing, martinis and how to be sexy.

Joyce, you WON the War on Frumpiness. You are the Norman Rockwell of my memories....

Cheers! Heidi
