Does Anybody Remember Katy Keene?

When I was a young girl my best friend and myself loved Katy Keene Comic Books. We could hardly wait until a new one would come out at the newsstand. We would walk to the dime store, just a few blocks away to buy our latest issue, then go back to my house and sit on my canopy bed and read all the the stories, work the dot to dot pictures, color and cut out paper dolls for hours. One of my greatest joys was when I came across some of these old comic books while cleaning out my parents home after they had passed away. I was transported back in time while I sat on my parents bed and looked thru all of the books. How I wish my long lost best friend could have been there too. 
Here are a few pictures from the comic books to share with you:

I thought she was so beautiful, and how I loved all of her gorgeous clothes. She was always very nice too, none of that 'Mean Girl' stuff.

Here is one of the paper doll pages. The outfits were usually sent in from her fans. What an honor it would have been to have one of your outfits chosen to be published!! You might also notice that she is not pencil thin, but had a nice 'healthy' figure.

Each issue would have a story like the one above. My friend and I had fun figuring out the stories with the pictures for words.

I especially liked it when Katy was a cowgirl. Since I had a horse, my dream was to be a cowgirl just like Katy. :-)

One of my favorite pages was the coloring page. They would have her in all different costumes in all different places. Here is a page I didn't get colored.

Last but not least, here she is in one of the many beautiful gowns that was designed for her by a fan.

If you remember these comic books I would love to hear from you. Please leave me your comments. Thank You!

Blessings To All,

Jan
