This is one of the very first pictures of a lady in a leather coat that I ever collected from a catalog; maybe *the* first. It is also one of my lifelong favorites. The woman's beautiful face and the style with which she wears the leather coat struck me as utterly sensual and sleek. I was 10 years old and the page came from the 1983 JCPenney Christmas catalog. Sometime a couple years later this beloved page was lost in the mysterious void that childhood possessions vanish to. It remained nothing but a fond memory for about 35 years. I searched for it on the Internet for more than a decade without success. Then in November 2021 I found it on a website of catalog scans! Not only was I overjoyed to rediscover an old favorite picture, but I also made the surprising realization that the model was Rene Russo! I had been in love with her since I was a boy and didn't know it.
Incidentally, this is the very image I am describing on the book cover in Chapter VI. Leather Coat Desire of Spellbound with a Kiss.
10 or 11 was about the age I realised that leather coats had an effect on me and I would secretly go straight to the pages where the leather coats where in mail order catalogues. Any way of communicating via email?
