Models Russian

Fly Them to Kearny Mesa: “Fashion Flights,” the third annual Golden Avenue School PTA fashion show fundraiser, was such a novel idea that local TV stations requested personal appearances by the models. The show’s flight theme featured 15 models, ages six to adult, portraying travelers garbed for trips to distant lands.

Casual to formal fashions from Lemon Grove shops included leopard printed jumpsuits, frilly party dresses, snappy suits with peplum jackets, the ubiquitous hats with veils and flowers without which no self-respecting woman left home in those days, and plenty of Samsonite luggage.

The Lemon Grove Review ran a front page photograph of seven models piling into a “woodie” station wagon for the trek to KFMB, San Diego’s first TV station, established 1949, up Kearny Mesa way.
