How about a few page highlights from a 1949 Skating Vanities brochure booklet today? Beautiful painted cover, lovely interior lay-outs and color overlays, pro skaters dressed as animals and snowmen, not to mention the endless array of gorgeous gals on wheels! I have to admit though, my favorite detail are all of those great little illustrated characters stumblin' around throughout, falling on their butts, but still having themselves a whirly-bird of a time! So many great concepts and costumes on display here-- it almost puts the Ice Capades to shame... almost. I'm also guessing this production wasn't for kids, as the burlesque themes seem rather obvious.
Now, --bring on the Cycle Cycloramics!
