Kiss Me Quick
********************************************************Story donated by Elsie Rose @ St Gemmas Retro Fair
Elsie Rose (aged 84) was helping her daughter with a stall at St Gemmas Retro fair and (after a bit of nudging from her daughter) shared one of her Twiggy Manequins with All Our Hearts Content. Elsie spotted the Twiggy lookalikes when she was walking along Blackpool Prom. Two fantastic sixties heads sporting Kiss Me Quick hats caught her eye in a shop window, looking gorgeous, even though they’d been stapled to the shelves and looked liked they’d Got ciggy burns in.
She made an offer for them there and then and, after a bit of negotiation, managed to agree a price for them both. This one is her daughter’s and is used to model vintage jewellery and hats.

Hi! I hope this mail finds you well. I was just wondering where this was as I’m trying to get hold of some Kiss Me Quick hats from the fifties to be used as props in a film. If you could give me any info it would be greatly appreciated.
