Self portrait friday!

Old birthday card for my father that my mother saved, 1964.
Vidal sasson haircut( called "an artichoke")
mini skirt
Notice my husband(then boyfriend's) fraternity pin

Yes, this was hand drawn by me of me, a self portrait!!!
I thought my card was very similar to the contemporary cards being made at that time.
The cards were usually narrow and tall and had minimal writing on the inside.

This little beauty needed nothing to enhance the image.
However, I thought she needed some lilac flowers and some wild violets.

My favorite Beatles song!!!
1966

So we sailed off to the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine!
Chorus
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine!
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine!
So can you guess the name of the song??????????
