31.1.11

whipped cream & other delights


This afternoon I was having a conversation with Carla Bassi, co-owner of Che Bella (a San Diego based floral and design company), and she brought up the Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass 1965 album cover.  Carla went on to describe this image as a cream gown on a 'beautiful woman that was probably every young boy's fantasy'.  She was able to locate the record in her collection, and once I saw the picture of model, Dolores Erickson, in chiffon and whipped cream, it all made sense.  I had heard many of the songs in the past (Love Potion No. 9, Lollipops and Roses, etc), but to my delight, after a quick iTunes download, the rest of the album was just as entertaining and a refreshing change from the radio!
