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...

The Suitors of Julia Epstein
Julia has three young men interested in her but she's keeping her options open right now...not that she's the most romantically inclined anyway. On the left is Kerry Fry. Kerry is the son of her parent's friends and is an environmental activist. He has a hippy look with the rough hewn top worn open at the neck and with a crystal pendant around it. The pants are the classic, 60s striped hippy style and goes with the shirt.
Cole Michaels in the middle is based on Michael Coles from the popular TV series "The Mod Squad"...Cole is a policeman working in the youth crime division. Even though his sweater is from Get Together, Michael Coles actually wore one almost identical, complete with gold chain, in the show.
Rez is a street musician who fell for Julia at first sight when she visited the Casbah Gallery. I modelled him on real life musicians such as Richie Valens. The look is that crossover between 50s rock n' roll and 60s rocker. He still Brylcreems his hair and wears leather pants.

Prisha Datta on the left is a fellow cop who works in the same division as John Action. Although born in Sim Nation/America, her heritage is Indian and she is proud of it...as reflected in her clothing. She prefers to wear long, flowing, printed dresses...almost like Sarees...which is popular among the counter-culture as embracing Indian mysticism and styles was popular among the young in the 60s, and lots of bracelets. She wears her hair in a beehive/bun which is both practical for work and a nod to the mod fashion.
Bianca Gregory was a one-time love interest for Jeremy Saint but she toyed with his affections and blew him out. She now works at the same company he does which sometimes causes awkward situations. Bianca has the big hair of the era and models the "Total Look" of having dress, accessories and shoes all of one colour.
Bibi Stahler is a forensics expert and a work colleague of John Action. She's originally from Germany and is on secondment from the Munich police department. She is based on the Austrian actress, Senta Berger, who became popular in the 1960s. Like Bianca, her hair is cc specifically designed for Sixties sims. Everything she's wearing here is cc and period specific; this is a more subtle variation on the Total Look with the hair, make up and shoes predominantly orange with brown/tan highlights and pantyhose.
