this is super old and faded…. am I crazy or is that a young Cheryl Tiegs?

the back looks really cool too with weird instruction drawings.

    I spent a significant period of my life swathed in tape like this, though this looks to be of fashionable pink color while the stuff I was using was just plain white, like what you’d use to adhere gauze over a nasty, oozing wound. Every night I would religiously tape curls into shape and hold them in place with this stuff sticking to my face so I looked like a wrapped Christmas present. Every morning my pillow looked like a link roller with all the little strips that pulled and rolled off my face stuck to it, leaving little raw patches that screamed for hits of Vaseline. This was in the 1960s so hopefully by the 1970s when Cheryl Tiegs got this gig they had somewhat perfected the type of adhesion they went with a decade earlier.
