Watchoo mean "we", white eyes?

No photographic evidence as this was pre-cell-phone-c u m-camera days (thank god, do the kids have ANY idea what a world of hurt they're in for in the coming years, LOL)

But I must admit to having some pretty wild looking hair, if not the crazy clothes. Combs, no hair spray.

We as in my "generation"... LOL But it was only popular in and around Belgium... I wonder why?

My hair color was orange at the time. My father loved it sooooooooooo much.

And yes that guy is definately heading for that cliff. LOL

hmmm, I think I may have owned those shoes. And I make no apologies for that.

I think I'm thankful we moved the summer of '72 and Mommy Dearest missed shopping out of that particular Sears Catalogue. There were many Sears purchases in my future as we moved to a military base in Michigan adjacent to a small town, and the closest mall was over 100 miles away.

I laughed my aZZ off, looking at those pictures. I was in college then, too. I wore a lot of jeans, but had my share of polyester pants and dresses. I remember one pantsuit I had from Penney's (can't believe I even shopped there). It was so stiff, the pants probably stood up on their own.
Even when I look at pictures from around the time I met my husband, 1979, I laugh. On our first date, he came to pick me up in a 3 piece white suit, with a red shirt. Oh and those huge glasses. It matched his white and red car that got 8 mpg.
I, on the other hand, wore a white sun dress that I bought at Dillards for 13.00, on sale. I think that's when Scottsdale Fashion Square was still an "outside" mall.

This is the funniest picture of the whole bunch! Looks like they're wearing footie pajamas...LOL! I also remember one of those 'butt jiggler' machines at the gym my mom taught aerobics at when I was little.

Wow. Most excellent!

"There's an exerciser for every body at Sears Beauty Spa"

Harrumph. Did they have the highly coveted 12-oz lift machine?

Fake excercise machines, and I swear the woman in the foreground is wearing a poofy wig.

I get nostalgic for the 60s/70s sometimes, but in truth it's easy to forget how vastly our culture has changed since then. For instance, the following ad wouldn't have made anyone blink in 1972, but what do you think when you see it now?

Thank you zen,

you made my day down memory lane... Then the wacky disco came to being.

Priceless moment: US Navy signs up the Village People "In the Navy" . just too funny, And the reaction from the Navy when they realized that Village People were GAY!! oops. How could they have missed it with the biker dude, the construction guy and the fact they were from Greenwich Village. HE---LLLOOOO----??? I lived in the city at the time and EVERYBODY KNEW THAT GREENWICH VILLAGE WAS GAY!!!

Any hooowwww... thanks.
