Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph article dated December 1, 1962 reads, "The camera of Valley Times TODAY photographer George Brich captured this group of shoppers and spectators in a Valley department store as they gazed at the array of wigs being offered. While some of them disagreed over the proper way to arrange the wigs, they all seemed to concur that the ready-made hair-dos were at least good for a laugh." Photograph caption reads, "Sharon Krause becomes a blonde. Van Nuys resident tried it for size."; See images #00130700 through #00130703 for all photos in this series.
