Those attachments have often been confused with Filtex, but having looked at both, side by side, they are not the same, though similar in design. The Compact attachments were not shiny, as shown on the owner's manual in VOD, but a matching turquoise wrinkle finish, as on the Compact itself. I would say, as an educated guess that the attachments, at least the rug and floor tools were air-brushed into the picture. The actual attachments were probably planned, but not yet actually available at the time of the photo shoot. And, yes that is a drag queen. Harold Shoetller, then president of Interstate, told a now exiled VCCC member (at a VDTA convention in Las Vegas) how the model from the modeling agency didn't show up for the photo shoot for the manual, so his assistant thought they could save a few bucks by going down to Santa Monica Blvd. and picking up a hooker instead. And what a hooker they got!
