CWS Styling Theme "Beatles Song" Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

by Becky Kénaan


Hello, Everyone! I thought that you might enjoy my other side and see what I concocted for the CWS  Styling Theme entitled, "Beatles Songs."  

My fashion look emulated the music theme from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. For my ensemble, I went with the psychedelic and almost hallucinogenic colors for which the Sgt. Peppers Band was widely known. 




"♫♬ ♩♪♫   
It's wonderful to be here
...it's certainly a thrill. 
You're such a lovely audience... 
We'd like to take you home with us. 
We'd love to take you home ...


        We're Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 
        We hope you will enjoy the show
        Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 
        Sit back and let the evening go
        Sgt Pepper's Lonely,  Sgt Pepper's Lonely
        Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

The Beatles turned a critical corner in their career with the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Album in 1967. 

Most music fans would agree, without hesitation, that it is one of the most prolific "psychedelic" albums ever produced. Truly, the psychedelic sound is very much in the vein of Sgt. Pepper's.




More importantly for the Beatles, critics called the release of Sgt. Pepper "a decisive moment in the history of Western Civilization."

Some 30 years later, Paul McCartney called it a decisive moment for personal reasons, saying "We were not boys, we were men," is how he summed up the Beatles' mindset as they gave up live performances and set about defining themselves purely as a studio band.
  
With Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles announced their intention to be seen "as artists rather than just performers."




My flowered bell bottom pants were quite in fashion back then, along with my "Flower-Power" psychedelic top and its wonderfully colored sleeves and blossoming flowers.  




Those "flowers" you see are only a figment in your mind, btw.  


Probably induced by those hallucinogenic marijuana chocolate chip cookies that were so popular during that time period. HA!
