CITIZENS STATE BANK
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
This beautiful, modernistic, geodesic dome bank building located at N. W. 23rd and Classen Blvd. was built at a cost in excess of one million dollars.

Once described as "one of the nation's most revolutionary bank designs," the Citizens National Bank of Oklahoma City (1958) was designed by the architectural firm Bailey, Bozalis, Dickinson, and Roloff. The structure was the fifth geodesic dome to be constructed worldwide and it was the first to be purposed as a bank.

The gold dome was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It is located at 1112 N.W. 23rd Street (on historic Route 66) in Oklahoma City, OK.

HERB RITTS L.A. Style

Herb Ritts: L.A. Style traces the life and career of the iconic photographer through a compelling selection of renowned, as well as previously unpublished, photographs and two insightful essays. Herb Ritts (1952–2002) was a Los Angeles-based photographer who established an international reputation for distinctive images of fashion models, nudes, and celebrity portraits. During the 1980s and 1990s, Ritts was sought out by leading fashion designers such as Armani, Gianfranco Ferrè, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Valentino, and Versace, as well as magazine editors from GQ, Interview, Rolling Stone, and Vanity Fair, among others, to lend glamour to their products and layouts. Largely self-taught, Ritts developed his own style, one that often made use of the California light and landscape and helped to separate his work from his New York-based peers. From the late 1970s until his untimely death from AIDS in 2002, Ritts’s ability to create photographs that successfully bridged the gap between art and commerce was not only a testament to the power of his imagination and technical skill, but also marked the synergistic union between art, popular culture, and business that followed in the wake of the Pop Art movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

Fastest way for a guy to look great.

Congratulations. You have more

hair today than a year ago. You

like it. She likes it. But you're finding

that you have to wash it more and dry

it right - or the whole look falls flat.

Because the secret of today's hair

isn't just more hair, it's cleaner hair

blown dry - to give it bulk and body it out.

The fastest shape-up we know is the Air Brush.

Clairol's new styling dryer. It's faster because it

generates more air and more heat, It's got

more watts. 500, if you're counting.

Check it out against the competition.)

It's light but tough. And besides two speeds,

 you get dual voltage. After all, a guy deserves

to look great anywhere in the world.

Styling combs are fine. But they are not really

meant to handle a headful of wet hair.

The new Clairol Air Brush is.

You're hair never had it so good. Or so fast.

Clairol Air Brush

Man's fastest hair dryer
