Title: Re: More photos of the 70's... Post by Kevin_M on Mar 1st, 2008, 10:35am A testament to how men handle long hair, facial hair, sideburns, and upscale dress to think it all said "I have style". It took creating different directions of far less acceptance to get away from the look, after a taste of following the crowd and then to rebel against the image... crashed upon the rocks of "don't know, don't care". |

Title: Re: More photos of the 70's... Post by Kevin_M on Mar 1st, 2008, 11:37am On another note, to personally divulge comment on the era, there was a change in the fall of '72. As the election neared, Nixon was elected in November, my draft lottery number came up as "ticket to Viet Nam" in December, the end of January "State of the Union" speech that ended the draft, my 18th birthday within 30 days after that speech, which I was to report for duty, I believe a designation of 1h on my draft card. Admittedly, I stayed "completely out of it" during those four months, but there was a change in the air also, the passing of a creative and exciting era. I disliked handing over all that had happened to the developing new times, complying with the direction of change briefly, following into an unknown, but onward to careers and a social life searching for alternatives, exploring the world. Some parts of the mid-70's were divided, murky, but still very wild. Even going back again now, I still don't think I'd get it right with so many options and interests but in a difficult economy up to the early eighties, distractions were perhaps important. We went many different directions, looking back now, still difficult to get a grasp on what was actually happening being so young. |

Title: Re: More photos of the 70's... Post by Charlie on Mar 1st, 2008, 7:06pm Zounds. Hilarious photos kids. Thanks for the link. It took me 10 years to dump my moustache. It was Burt Reynolds lite. Fortunately, almost all my images are on transparancies so I can't scan them here... 8) I never had a leisure suit but I coud have had made two or three new shirts out of my old shirt collars. Those polyester suits seemed bulky to me. Lets think about a thread full of stupid stuff from the 70s: Pet Rocks. Charlie |

Title: Re: More photos of the 70's... Post by imnotbub on Mar 1st, 2008, 11:29pm If you remember the 70's you really didn't "enjoy" them. [smiley=smokin.gif] No leisure suit here, but I did have a polyester sport jacket that was baby blue with dark blue piping. I was the shiznit my friends, and I got pictures to prove it. Too bad I don't have a scanner or I would blow your minds with my coolness. Stove pipe pants, platform shoes, even had a mullet once. (my girlfriend talked me into cutting my long hair. My friends called me Ace Freely for a month) I even had a firebird. Ughhh, I would go back in a heartbeat. Steve |

Title: Re: More photos of the 70's... Post by cash5542 on Mar 2nd, 2008, 4:17pm Those are so funny and really hit too close to home! My worst fashion memory was my wedding!! Of course I was beautiful, my bridesmaids were beautiful too all dressed in powder blue, matching the groomsmen! My husband , ring bearer, groosmen and my Dad all wore powder blue tuxes!!! I still haven't been forgiven! It seemed ok at the time but now I can't beleive we did that!!! We were very color coordinated though, even with the flowers. I wish Erik had spoken up and said what the hell are you doing!!!??? Charlotte |

Title: Re: More photos of the 70's... Post by barry_sword on Mar 3rd, 2008, 6:24pm I was never really a polyester suit type, cannot recall ever having one on, but I chose to go with the long hair look instead. That is me to your left in the green coat. [smiley=grin2.gif] I think this is 1977 or 1978. How can anyone remember the 70's [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif] http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh288/Konaangie/MAR0307.jpg |

Title: Re: More photos of the 70's... Post by brewcrew on Mar 3rd, 2008, 6:36pm Pat's going to start getting a complex - like she didn't have anything to do with genetic contribution. I can assure you, he is very much her son, too. I saw him make his grand exit (or entrance, depending on your perspective). That suit in the top photo was tan corduroy. And again I'll ask, what on earth were we thinking? |

Title: Re: More photos of the 70's... Post by Mosaicwench on Mar 3rd, 2008, 7:48pm If I didn't know better, I'd say I had nothing to do with that boy. The only other woman giving birth at the same time I was, was African-American . . . so I KNOW he's mine. Jrbrew had my mom's mouth line (not mine) until he got his braces. So that's gone now, too. I'll just call myself his auntie and absolve all responsibility for him . . . . yeah - that'll work . . . |
