PD Review Magazine issue 95 - Sci-Fi Style, Listen-and-Play, Steampunk, Ginghams and more!

Get ready for a marvelous mix of articles and paper dolls! If you're not necessarily a fan of sci-fi, you'll be surprised at the fashionable variety of costumes, styles and subjects related to the genre. Kwei-lin Lum provides a fascinating look at iconic sci-fi characters starting with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and on to Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Star Wars, Dr. Who, Sailor Moon and more. Even Katy Keene appeared in futuristic scenarios, as shown on our cover! Lorna Thomopoulos explores the fascinating blend of Victorian styles with futuristic gizmos in her piece on Steampunk Style, and Tracy Williams delves into Star Trek fandom.

The idea of mixing sound with paper dolls may seem like science fiction, but dozens of such products were produced from the late 1940s to the 1970s. Marie Rosales takes us through the history of these combination paper doll/record sets. In addition to our fantabulous dress-a-doll, themed paper dolls and other regular features, Jenny Taliadoros solves a mystery surrounding Ginghams paper dolls. There's something for everyone in this dynamic, dynamite edition!
