The Fashions Of Sim 66
Hello. I write a sim lit story called Sim 66, you can find links to it in the Writer's Lounge of the Challenges and Stories board. It's set in the late 1960s and with the abundance of Sixties custom...

Cuffe & Sneedley
Two contrasting pairs in Sim 66: The libertine and permissive Alan Cuffe and his assisstant, Madelyn and local busybodies and moral puritans, the Sneedleys.
ALAN CUFFE
Alan Cuffe is based on Hugh Hefner: He runs the magazine, Lothario, and has a nightclub called The Kitten Club. He's surrounded by the famed "Lothario Kittens": Young, attractive women who wear revealing cat themed costumes. Base game provided much of his outfits: The blazer with the cravat being ideal, the tuxedo with dark blue jacket worn over black trousers is very of the era and I couldn't resist his "lounge" dressing gown worn over a jacketless suit that comes with Luxury Party Stuff.

MADELYN BUCHANAN
Madelyn is Cuffe's live-in personal assistant and Head Kitten (Miss Tabby). She has a shady background in dealing "herbal medicines" but runs the business and publicity side of Lothario efficiently. Her everyday look on the left has a period sleeveless turtleneck sweater with a high waist. Her pants are found under "skin tight" in Base Game but here they represent the slim fitting Capri Pants made from the latest stretch synthetics. The green dress with white trim is pure cc: It all came as a package. The hairstyle is cc as well and specific to the Sixties. The third outfit adds a cravat instead of a necklace and is another example of the two-tone look; here, pink and white. The sleeves flare out which was another trend back then. Women wore flats a lot or low heeled shoes...it was really boots where heels were higher. Madelyn's eye make up is colour coded with her outfits.

EDNA SNEEDLEY
By contrast, Edna's look is conservative. She's the local busybody and in charge of the League of Decency: An organisation dedicated to smashing the permissive society..."Down with mini skirts!" Her look is brown/grey, reflecting her reactionary nature. The style harks back to the period 1960-64; the Jacqueline Kennedy/Coco Chanel look of a slim fitting knee length skirt and smart blouse with a 3/4 length sleeve jacket worn over them. Her make up is also influenced by the earlier part of the decade with heavy mascara worn on the upper eyelash and elongated to make the eyes appear wider. Joan Crawford in "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" is the main influence on her make up style.

GEORGE SNEEDLEY
With a lot of the male characters, Base Game does provide a suitable look. George is the sometimes henpecked, gloomy and equally reactionary husband to Edna. George favours a style worn by middle aged men in the 60s once their baggy 50s tailored suits became unfashionable. He wears sweaters and cardigans over a collar and tie, with straight cut black trousers. His outfit on the right is the male League of Decency uniform.
