If you had to wear panty hose, you'd love the pantsuit!

[Veto!]

Righto. Your memory is better than mine--I was wrestling with some designer whose name started with V.

Throw out a non political thread and FReepers just come a runnin' don't we?

Mike Brady, of course, was fond of "yellow night" at Paul Lynde's place.

[Dashing Dasher]

We had "graffiti" wallpaper in our bathroom!

I can't believe I haven't thought about that in years!

[pissant]

I choooooooose to wear pantyhose!

[peacebaby]

ok, how about waterbeds and mirrored ceilings?

I never saw the movie, but I love all the Elton John songs. He was so wonderful in the 70's - his voice, his grand piano (not those dinky keyboards he played in the 90's). Loved him!

[pissant]

But at least the jacket fit!

[Veto!]

Dirndle skirts were earlier than the '70s as I recall. My mother liked the things.

"ROFL. I keep my nightstick in my trousers!"

Walking softly, carrying a big stick, eh?

The Ramones actually let future members of the Clash and the Sex Pistols in to their shows for free, and in the process helped inspire British punk.

Punk may be considered British by many, but without the Ramones, it never would have left New York City.

[pissant]

LOL!

[peacebaby]

correctimoondo!

Geez, your mother wore dirndle skirts, and I must be old. Thanks, young'n! :~)
