Daily Picture: Its a wrap Joan

A great shot of Joan from 1999

On The Newstand - 3rd January 1987


27 Years ago you would have found Joan gracing the cover of this UK magazine, which featured Joan a number of times as the cover star (years 1979 - 1987).  The article inside "Happy New Year Joan ... and why she's glad to see the back of '86)

NEW !!! - Joan Collins Poster Postcards


The above Spanish poster for The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing is featured on a set of postcards that I acquired in December.  In total there are 88 cards which I will be adding to the website.
The art work on these is excellent, thanks to Simon for making these available to me.

Note: There is no magazine to feature 'On the Newstand' today - check back tomorrow for one from 26 years ago!!

On The Newstand - January 1st 1983

Today's magazine is one I don't recall featuring on the website and was one of those I mentioned finding in storage tubs in my parents loft.

It is from 1983 which makes it 31 years old the same age as the collection and is a Dutch magazine called Prive.  I think Joan featured on the cover of the magazine more than once, and I will probably come across others as I update the website.

 
 
 

The Blog Is Back!!

Yes .... its back and firstly a Happy New Year to everyone and hope you had a good Christmas.

Its been a 6 month absence from the blog and web site, a big thank you to everyone who has been contacting me - I've tried to answer all the e-mails, apologies if I have missed anyone.  During the time I have moved house again and a lot of the collection has been in storage - but today being the first day of 2014 I thought would be good to get back on track. 

There's lots to add to the site and a major update/revamp is on the cards for this year.  So keep checking back regularly - if there is anything in particular you like to see or ask about my collection, please get in touch. 

Quite a few of your e-mails have highlighted that the magazine covers featuring Joan on a daily basis were popular and so that will return - and other requests have included a daily photo of Joan from my collection.  I have over 100 new photographs/stills to add to the site so will try and introduce that and another request was to highlight different items from my collection with links on the website - which sounds a great idea, plus there was a great deal of interest from my plans to feature Dynasty fashion pages.

Its great that Joan continues to be busy and I know her fans are thrilled about the release of her latest memoirs, 'Passion for Life', yes my partner bought me my copy for Christmas and I also have it downloaded on my Kindle.  Plus Joan going back into London's West End this year was more good news.  I saw the show 2 years ago and featured it on the blog - looking forward to seeing it again in February.

Thanks for following and your interest in my site/blog

Richard
