Fads of the Seventies

[Remy]

@oldiebutgoody I literally had a dress like that in the early 80's but it was solid with print trim. I look bad in a hat.

This isn't giving me the bad flashback feeling some of those blouses did.

Even in the early 70's, we had the fur babies.

Great to see what I missed. I was having kids and knee deep in diapers, working and fixing up our house in the 70s. Not much time for much else.
Those shoes weren't built to run after kids.

My granddaughter surprised me the other day when we went shopping. She had on bell bottom jeans. I said well..I guess bell bottoms are back in. She said they are.

Yep all trs and jeans are in fashion now.......skinny, slim , bootleg, and flared ......

I liked the cheese clothe blouses and dresses ..

I liked the tube tops the ladies were wearing....

I loved the disco days. The guys in their Angel Flights lol.
I wore bell bottoms, either levis , they had super bells too, or a brand called chemin de fer.
And, those platform shoes.

And, being able to party all night and barely make it to work the next day.
Although, I did get marked AWOL a few times.

Over the years I have always found that women are their worse critics. In all likelihood, people prolly looked at you with great admiration and likely thought you looked beautiful in such an outfit. Since I always admire such an appearance I would have said the same about you.

Isn't the material kind of rough? @Smiley Holly I remember I had a mood ring. I don't remember what happened to it.

Loud polyester-dacron slick men's shirts.

Disco is for dancing, not listening. If you were a dancer, then it was cool and very hip. The music is not bad, and better than later day stuff. I have a disco CD for memories. YMCA, Hot Stuff, Ring My Bell, Macho Man...funny, funny. Donna Summers. People complain because it replaced rock...so what? I say, bring it back.

Yes they did, although it was different than rock. Also cheaper for venues to hire a DJ than to hire bands.

That said, it was fun to dance to. And there are a good number of bands out there, even in these Covid days.

in the 1970s we had long haired brawling pro hockey players like the fictional Hanson brothers (the real life Carlson bros):

This is what they looked like in real life:

The one to the right is the real life Jack Carlson (portrayed by Dave Hanson of St Paul, MN ~ he went to Humboldt High School which is my neighborhood school). He could not play himself in the movie as he was just called up by the NHL when the movie was being made. Just imagine three self admitted goof balls like these appearing in your hockey camp.
