One of my "autographees" was here this weekend telling everyone the story about how it takes ten days to get the sharpee navy blue ink off your butt.

Lovely story... ;-)

As I recall, the wrap dresses were designed by Gloria Vanderbilt and then "adopted" by everyone else. Soft fabrics in small prints for the most part. Today wrap blouses are reasonably popular.

But pantsuits for women were the big fashion trend of the '70s that lasted until today.

Metalic wallpaper means never having to explain why you wrap your room in tin foil...

I love George Carlin. He is so funny. He is a lib, and I do not like his politics, but he always makes me laugh.

People I can live without...Boyscout leaders who own dildo shops. Proctologists with poor depth perception. ROTFLMAO

We had a bathroom with silver foil wallpaper on the ceiling. The walls were a mural of medieval kings, knights, and probably popes staring at you, some from their thrones. Very expensive and beautifully crafted wallpaper. No one could believe we'd put it in the loo.

>>"I am Woman" <<

I HATE that song!

>>"Having My Baby" <<

I HATE that song!

>>"Never Been To Me" <<

I HATE that song!

How 'bout: "Torn Between Two Lovers"
"Run, Joey, Run"
Makes "The Night Chicago Died" look good by comparison.
