Love the poster!!
ReplyDeleteI used to have the poster on my wall at boarding school!
ReplyDeleteOMG I have been looking everywhere for even a picture of this poster! Thank you Ellen so much for finding and sharing with Allie and thank you Allie for sharing with us! I would love to know what the poster says. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Mexico Allie!
ReplyDeleteFine the "are you a preppy" one as well and you'll be money. Framed together they would look ridiculous in an office or den
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I love it! Hope you are enjoying la playa!
ReplyDeletelove love love this!
ReplyDeletekHm
What fun! It reminds me, do you have any updates about the resurrection of the Jacques Cohen espadrille (as referenced in your profile)? It would be great to find a pair, with spring almost here.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I remember seeing "Are you a Preppie" the guys version of this poster. What a find!! I love this. LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteI had seen the male version, but not this one! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI swan... i used to be able to go down the picture and check off every single thing!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteAllie - Without your original post some months back, it would probably be years before I remembered that I had this poster! So glad everyone likes it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun poster - I wish I could read it better (too small!) I love the photo though :)
ReplyDeleteI asked a few posts back, but my request must have gotten lost in the shuffle.
ReplyDeleteI believe I saw Furman University mentioned awhile back. PLEASE, if my memory is not faulty and any of you are familiar w/ this school, could you kindly post an honest critique/review. Thanks ever so much.
Hey Allie, I found the "male" version of the poster on a UVA website: http://uvamagazine.org/images/uploads/2009/fall/preppie_big.jpg
ReplyDeleteI did email you a response but, i guess you didn't see it. My niece luuuvs Furman and is really thriving there. She's in a great sorority and has made wonderful friends. The campus is gorge and is refered to as the Country Club of the South. Or the University of Ralph Lauren. We all love the preppy town of Greenvuuulle. Be ready to embrace purple! XXOO
ReplyDeleteIt's great ....... if you could read it. I'd love to know if I pass....
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks so much! This will teach me to post my actual e-mail address for blogs that I adore. Thanks again. We'll make an appointment to tour the campus with our daughter.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your vacation!
All the best, Suzi
So solution to getting a poster that may be difficult to find. Your friend will have to take hers to a Kinkos. Get it copied - might cost a bit, but won't it be worth it?? Yes. Please offer them to readers ;-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI had the "guy" one on my bedroom door at the KA house in college. Someone could make some $$$ if they bought these babies back out.
ReplyDeleteOkay, don't laugh. But I still have that skirt. AND I still wear it. (I hear you laughing).
ReplyDeleteOn the sidebar of my blog, I have a photo of myself {circa 1980} which is very much like this photo...
ReplyDeleteThe model is Christine Painley who attended UVA in '78-82 and hails from Roanoke, VA.
ReplyDeleteMerci for the insider intel! Wahoowa...XXOO
ReplyDeleteI have a “Are you A Preppette?” Jigsaw Puzzle (same style as this) but with a girl on the front (Constance Brooke Pellington). I’ve been trying to find out information about this puzzle, and I haven’t been able to find anything. I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this item (is it rare, how much it would be priced… etc.)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea Katie but, if you decide to sell it, please let me know as I may be interested. Merci :)
ReplyDeleteI have the same puzzle, and do plan to sell it. I'll be listing it in my etsy shop tomorrow. www.etsy.com/shops/highway80
ReplyDeleteI am definitely planning on selling it, Are you still interested?
ReplyDeleteSorry Katie but, Busy Being Barbie beat you to the punch. She listed hers on Etsy for $20 plus s&h and I snatched it up immediately. Where are you listing yours in case I think of anyone I'd like to buy it for? Merci for the heads up...XXOO
ReplyDeleteJust listed two new, vintage, never opened posters for $25 each plus $2.50 s/h on Etsy.
