Alexandra In Fast Fashion After Goldberg

Description

in 1971 the Josie and the pussycats story "Fast Fashion", drawn by Archie comics artist Stan Goldberg was first published. This story was unique because it was the only time that Alexandra's name was used before the title of the story, all other stories had "Josie in", story title regardless of whether or not she was the featured character or even in the story. I loved Alexandra Cabot from the first Saturday morning on I her on the tv series and so I read and re-read this story over and over. Flash forward forty years and I just happened upon someone online who was selling original Archie comics artwork. I emailed him telling him I was primarily looking for artwork featuring Alexandra. He said he'd look to see if he had any and when he emailed me back he sent along photos of the original six page Stan Goldberg art for "Alexandra in Fast Fashion". I could believe it. Of course I bought it and today it hangs framed in my home office. I couple of years ago I came across another guy online who does repaint of Barbie-like dolls of cartoon characters and he made me an Alexandra doll and he hooked me up with another artist who recreated the outfit she wears in the cartoon series AND the 'Fast Fashion' outfit in this story.

I've never heard of Stan Goldberg, who he was, "fast fashion," or what it is, and for a time of year like this, meaning winter, especially through terrible, horrible, severe, nasty snowstorm weather, I thought Alexandra had fleece fabric styled pajamas for nice and cozy warmth in a building that's fully heated on the inside, so that she wouldn't be freezing like ice, you know how some people can be in that kind of fashion, I don't know what state you live in, or how winter works for you, but I live in Michigan, and that's how it is over here as far as I know, at least I also know in southern states such as Texas and Florida, it's nowhere near as bad even if the temperature can be cold, at least not snowy at all, or just a little bit of snow for just a short while that melts fairly quickly in the northern parts of Texas and Florida, well if I lived in either of those two states, I wouldn't have to deal with this kind of bad weather, and that's what Alexandra's outfit made me think of for this time of year, which coincidentally, it is this time of year, at least here in Michigan.
