A strange cast of characters

I am not sure what to say about this photo.  Ummmm....nice Beatles dress. 

The screamers

Love the Beatles dress!!

Copenhagen Beatlemania

Beatle girls at the Cavern Club

Sadly the Beatles weren't always playing at the Cavern Club.  Sometimes a Beatle girl had to just dance to  another band while still displaying her love for the Beatles.  

The Beatle dress

I am not sure if this was something special for the premiere of "A Hard Day's Night" in London on July 6 1964, or if it was something that happened in all of the major cities.   But the girls that were hired (or volunteered) to be vendors  at the movie and sell programs and souvenirs all wore these Beatles dresses.  

For the London premiere, 12 girls in their late teens/early 20's were chosen to be the vendors where they wore the dresses that were either blue or pink. There appears to be 3 different styles.     After the movie, they all were allowed to go back to the Dorchester and attend the party with the Beatles.   Many of the girls got their dresses signed by the 4 Beatles (see photo).    These dresses were sold at department stores and through catalogs later in 1964. 

And it still fits!

Those Beatle dresses just fascinate me.   I bet they were really expensive for the time.

So please love me do

Check these girls out!   Beatle dresses, Beatle garter belts, Beatle heart around their necks, holding Beatle tour books with Beatle wallpaper in the background.   Can you dig it?

Those dresses again

This photo shows that there were different styles of Beatles dresses available. I was only familiar with the middle dress. It looks like these fans might also have Beatles garter belts on their legs as well. I think they are going to sing a trio version of "We love you Beatles" any second now....

Italian press conference

I think the girl in the Beatles dress could care less WHAT the guys were talking about at this press conference in Rome. She looks just amazed to be there next to George!

Beatles fashion

I would bet this is a staged photo, but still I love the Beatles dress!!
