“NAVY CADY”

………………………………ALY DUNNE was a SPECTACULAR MODEL……..a RARE BIRD…………..I used Aly in many shows and ad campaigns. If you google her you will see quite a few photos of her in my ads. Her hair in the ad photos is always pulled back in a very close to the head French Twist. You never knew with Aly what she was going to do with her hair. I LOVED this pixie cut. She was often compared facially to Audrey Hepburn when shot at certain angles…….She eventually left the modeling world while she was at her peak. To say I was very disappointed was an understatement, but Aly told me the time was right. Good models with level heads know when it’s time to go. There are signs……bookings start to slow a little. Their names aren’t on everyone’s lips, because there are always the new young girls coming up. Even though Aly was unique and no one looked like her….she took her leave. It’s always better to go when you are still in demand and at the top….instead of sliding down the slippery slope of modeling! She moved to California, and tried to become a singer/actress…….I think she was just too beautiful and too tall to be a successful actress. She would have been taller than 95% of the leading men…..I recently googled Aly and I was happy to see she aged beautifully and didn’t succumb to horrible plastic surgery, and distorting fillers. Her hair is white and in a pixie cut, not too different than it was all those years ago…………….Above, Aly is wearing a Navy Cady Kimono and strapless chemise dress. Again, the dress had a light weight bustier under it to keep everything in place……Aly is also wearing the original PALM FROND NECKLACE & EARRING.
