Vaingirls #411 - 415

The originals:
411 - Top pic, RM Crosby illustration for Life magazine, April 13, 1919; bottom pic, same for May 13, 1920
412 - Binky's Buddies, 1969 and inset, Leave it to Binky, 1952
413 - RM Crosby illustration for the cover of the Sunday Magazine of the Chicago Sunday Record-Herald, June 8, 1913
414 - Secret Hearts
415 - Teen-Age Romances

#411 - RM Crosby did these two drawings a year apart, but it sure looked to me like they were made to go together.
#412 - Binky was DC's answer to Archie, and lasted quite a long time, from 1948 to 1983. These two covers showing the same thing, but 17 years apart, gave me the grandfather to father to son idea. (I prefer the 1952 cover - if I were Binky, I'd be smiling inside: What a dress! :-)
#413 - The theme is a common one, but my goal was to duplicate the language of the time (1913)
#414 - The day I saw this my spouse had commented to me about an ad for a cruise for dentists and related occupations, and that led to a discussion about occupationally themed events which inspired this cover.
#415 - The title was inspired by the old Masterpiece Theatre series, also by the old Beach Party movies of the '60's where the girls were always on one floor and the guys on another.

Irresistable forces	Him, hem, ... HER!	Survival of the femmest	Shesick!
He was floored!

Ah yes, more goodness. LOL!

I think "Survival fo the femmest" and "Nightwear nightmare" are my faves.

The RM Crosby stuff is really fun to look at just style wise.

Another fine set Jezzi.

"The Borg Sisters" eh? If they run to transformative potions, we'd have to guess that the family came over from Italy, and the family name was once Borgia! I'm sure their ancestress Lucrezia would have approved.

"Nightwear Nightmare" is a particularly clever use of the cover.

IMHO 412 deserves a sequel!

I like 415. I'm hoping that it will be the daughter since she is really lovely.
