stephen wilde I don't remember what kind of music was playing that night. I imagine whatever it was, there was a liberal share of "Carolina Beach Music" that was always popular around our area.
This was a time that you had a hard time finding a skirt or dress. I also feel it was the worst fashion time of the entire history of fashion (my opinion only). The man made fibers, like polyester... geeze it makes my skin crawl.
I was 12 but I remember sporting bell bottoms, polyester (wildly patterned) crepe shirts and "inside out" shirts where the seams were on the outside. Earth shoes and Wedges were the shoes of choice. Good point Mike Martin all that social interaction without the cellphones actually taught us social skills...imagine that!:) Oshi Shikigami , don't even get me going on the hair...I was a curly haired girl in a straight haired world, tough stuff:)
Ron Grooms if I had only saved half of my clothes from back then, I could have opened a separate clothing shop! Oshi Shikigami , I had my straightened a couple of times in the past few years, I felt like I was looking at someone I didn't know:)
I loved bell bottoms. Unfortunately, I was so short, that when they were shortened to a walkable length for me, most all the "bell" was gone! I had to make my own...
Ah, yes. Well-remembered. Attire notwithstanding, you see these young folks interacting as opposed to staring at smart phones. How times have changed.
ReplyDeleteAnd the hair! LOL
ReplyDeleteMike Martin how right you are about the smart phones. We didn't even have bag phones yet back then, but I am guilty as charged, I love my smart phone.
ReplyDeleteOshi Shikigami at least I had hair back then. LOL
ReplyDeleteSurprised to see a necktie there! That's the guy the moms like:-)
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy - Ah, yes, that fashionable 5" wide '70s tie. I had (very past tense) a couple of those.
ReplyDeleteMike Martin We've been watching Johnny Carson re-runs and his ties and lapels look like he could take flight!
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy and Mike Martin those wide ties were quite the fashion statement, mostly for the Preppy group in our area.
ReplyDelete1976 I was 11 years old and a fledgling Rockabilly.....I'm now 51 and still a Rockabilly.

Perhaps not curry, but certainly wavy. I actually had it straightened a couple of times! But it came back to fast to be practical.
ReplyDeleteFiona Kenny I don't think I will participate this time around. :)
ReplyDeletePam WhimsicalVintage I should have saved my 42" bell bottoms. Oh wait, i just told Fiona Kenny I wasn't going to do 70's fashions if he come back.....
ReplyDeleteOshi Shikigami back then I hated having curly hair. Now I would take ANY hair.

Yeah, it is kinda freaky to see. :-)
ReplyDeletelol Fiona Kenny Wow were they ugly but you had to have them or you were "out"...on the plus side they were comfortable:)
ReplyDeleteRon Grooms The only good take away from the 70s WAS the Bell Bottoms. lol
ReplyDeleteThat's the truth Margaret Siemers !! Loved those pants:)
