Here's a neat bit of follow-up from my childhood, courtesy of BoingBoing.

Apparently, Dolores Erickson, the cover model on the Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass album Whipped Cream & Other Delights is alive, well, and making impressionist paintings.

She has a really cool site at whippedcreamlady.com for anyone into the '60s, including all her record album covers (she was also on the cover of Guantanamera by the Sandpipers), and a link to the book Hal Lifson's 1966 (subtitled as "A Personal View of the Coolest Year in Pop Culture History"), described by Billboard magazine (February 5, 2003) as a "mind-boggling collection of visual trivia, from Sno Cones and Goofy Grape drink packets to Sting-Ray bikes and Gumby flexes."

She was gorgeous in her younger years, and still looks great today.

As far as I can tell, the album Whipped Cream & Other Delights was issued en masse to all adults in the '60s. My parents had a copy which they played over and over again, and I remember staring at the album cover, wondering how they got all that whipped cream to stay in place...
