Ghosts of the '70s

I watch the weather channel on occasion and don't usually pay much attention to what the folks are wearing but...

this morning the lovely blond lady has on an outfit that reminds me of nothing so much as the early 70s. Tight red turtleneck with a big baubly necklace and a black belt, red and black plaid miniskirt (for cryin' out loud!), very light almost-white hose, and black knee boots.

I don't think I've seen anything like that in real life for over 30 years.

I even vaguely remember having an outfit almost identical to hers.

It was nasty then and it's still nasty.

ugh

Stop the Spying!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
