I'll see your 70's JC Penney Catalog and raise you some 70's Ebony magazine ads


It's Disco Neo



That's not a collar it's a towel



Now pre-starched in Kung Fu action poses



Look ladies, handles!



For all you Star Trek Disco fans



Yes, Sausagefests



Now that top takes some confidence



I've got a genie in my pants, want to rub it a few times?



Nice cuffs there, swashbuckler



Cool it baby, it's just a belt



Texans still dress like this, they're just missing the hats



How Original Series Battlestar Galactica Boomer!



Cool iPod!

1. I'd totally pay $53 for that coat-thing in the very first ad.
That'd be tight, you dig?

On your abdominal beer storage area.

7. That white outfit in the third ad looks crocheted.
That's be uncomfortable.

And I remember jumpsuits. Having to get nearly completely undressed every time you had to go to the bathroom helped lead to the quick demise of that fad.

8. That is so amazing
You can't make that stuff up; it would be too unbelievable! :wow:

I feel pretty safe in my time-tested Levi's 501 jeans and a white T-shirt. :thumbsup:

Thanks for putting that together! :hi:

11. No one was fat in the 1970's
They didn't have the Playstation and the MySpace back then. At least, that's what baby boomers tell me.

31. No, I stayed skinny in the '70s because I was able
to get prescriptions for those good amphetamines, which made you feel good and gave you energy. Alas, you can't get those any more.

21. Hmm. Paul Pierce should
just go ahead and wear a green toga to get the same look. Or perhaps a green muʻumuʻu.

Headbands don't change much..

27. I'll take four of those Eleganza Cape Suits, please
Edited on Fri Nov-30-07 03:09 AM by Bryan
One in mauve, one in lime, one in blaze orange, and one in black for formal occasions.

I assume that pleated bell-sleeve number is what David Byrne wears on the weekend when he's tired of the Big Suit.
