New Arrivals

Apologies to everyone about the lack of posts for the last 3 weeks - as previously mentioned with a full time job its not easy to keep this and the website running. However, I have started to sort through the collection again and will be adding a NEW ARRIVALS page to the site allowing me to highlight new items in the collection. After a period of time they will be moved to their respective pages of the website.

Today I am featuring this item which I obtained this week - it is a window advert from America for the film 'The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing' and I have to say I've not seen this style of advert before. It measures approx. 11"x4". Others I have in the collection are full size and colour so this was a nice addition.

On The Newstand - 21 September 1985

This magazine, Le Lundi from 1985 was another magazine that regularly featured Joan on its cover.
This one is with her youngest daughter, Katyana (Katy). Inside is the cover photo plus other black & white photos across a 3 page article, "Comment J'ai Sauve Ma Fille De La Mort" which translated is about Katy's accident which Joan later wrote about in a book "Katy, A Fight For Life".

On The Newstand - 20 September 1986

Between 1982 and 1987 Joan appeared on the cover of this Australian magazine 16 times, and 15 of those were full cover.
As Joan will soon be heading 'down under' with her one woman show, lets hope she can grace the cover of Australian magazines once again.

The article in this issue was about her marriage breakdown to her husband at the time, Peter Holm, "Joan weeps as hubby walks out".
I will feature other covers in this magazines series in future posts on the blog.

On The Newstand - 19 September 1987

This rare magazine called Limited Edition was only available for one day in my home town, so I haven't seen many of these appearing on Ebay!!
It was published by the local newspaper, The Evening Telegraph and Joan appeared on its cover twice, although the second time was not full cover.

This issue carried a 3 page article promoting the new autobiography written by Joan's father, Joe Collins entitled "A Touch of Collins" with pictures of both Joan and Jackie.

On The Newstand - 18 September 1986

Inside this issue of Celebrity magazine from 1986 is a 3 page article, "Behind Closed Doors" an inside look into Joan's then Beverly Hills home.

On The Newstand - 15 September 1987

This Italian magazine is another of my favourite covers.
Fans will remember that the cover picture was used on the video "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Joan Collins But Were Afraid To Ask" the re-release title of the 1980's "Joan Collins Video Special"

Inside this magazine is a 5 page article, "Presenera A Corte Il Quinto Marito with colour pictures throughout.

On The Newstand - 14 September 1985

Over the years Joan has appeared countless number of times on the covers of English women's magazines.

Today it is the turn of Woman from 1985 this lovely picture of her and inside a 3 page article, "Joan Collins The Power and the Glory" with pictures taken on the set of Sins which Joan was currently producing and starring in at that time.
I will be featuring more of these covers in future posts or they can be found on the website.
