Dynasty Fashion Post - Season 2 & 7

Back after a busy working Easter - hope everyone had a good time.

Here is the first picture from my post relating to Dynasty Fashions and some of the many wonderful creations Joan wore courtesy of Mr Nolan Miller.

Couldn't think of a better way to start the post than a picture of the famous White and black suit Joan wore in the first episode of Season 2 when she joined the series.

Fans will remember that at the end of the first season, an unknown actress walked into the courtroom as Alexis prior to Joan being cast, which meant Joan had to wear the same outfit with possibly a few adjustments for her slender figure.

The outift complemented by a large hat; the world (including me) went "Wow" when Joan lifted the 'beekeeper veil' and removed the dark glasses to speak her first lines which went down in soap history.

The 2nd picture jumps ahead to the last episode of Season 7 (now available on DVD), the episode called "Shadowplay" and Joan wearing a pink gown for the wedding of Adam and Dana.

I'll feature some more fashions in tomorrows post

Daily Picture - Who Shot Alexis?

This picture comes from Dynasty Season 8, and shows Joan as Alexis recovering in hospital after taking the bullet meant for Blake at the debate for governor - fired from the rafters by a mystery gunman

.... And this time it wasn't the Butler who did it!!

Daily Post - Joan Through The Years

Recently some of the e-mails I have received have been about pictures of Joan before the Dynasty years, and whether I have anything from the 1970's & 1980's. The answer is Yes!

One person who contacted me must have been at Joan's One Woman Show and said how nice it was that Joan featured pictures of herself from the 'early years', so I have decided to start this post today, and feature a photo of Joan from 1971.

The description states "Here is Joan in a $4300 white mink midicoat at St Moritz, during a winter sojourn (short break) with husband Ron Kass.
The description of the coat says it had self covered buttons and a wide collar, teamed with a lace-up belt with metal trims and a jaunty Jackie Coogan cap.

Fashion was an important factor with the millions of Dynasty fans, tuning in every week to see what Alexis & Krystle would be wearing next, courtesy of Designer to the Stars, Mr Nolan Miller.
Later this week, I'll be starting a post called "Dynasty - A Trip Down Memory Lane" featuring pictures of Joan in some of the many gowns and costumes she wore on the series.

Daily Picture - Classic Cartoon

I recently came across this wonderful cartoon which appeared in American Magazine, 'Rolling Stone' back in December 1987.

It is called "Gold Diggers of 1987" by Robert Risko who I discovered is an American caricature artist,and as you can see features Joan with Brigitte Nielson burying Sly (Stallone) and ex Swedish husband Peter Holm.

Other celebrities that he has done caricatures of include Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Midler, Lucille Ball, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Jackson, and Goldie Hawn.

Daily Picture - Joan Fashion Shoot

Today it's back to 1984 and a photo of Joan modelling an outfit from the McCalls fashion range.

A pattern book was produced in the same year and Joan featured on the cover of that too. I do have it in the collection and will look it out and post on the blog.
