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.

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?
By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.

Well how else are you going to kill the nasty bed-cooties? I mean that's a DOUBLE BED, not a pair of twin beds like decent folk would have! Preferably in separate rooms.
