I love seeing the 70's stuff...

The fashions, on RFD-TV's re-runs of "Hee Haw."

Sideburns out to there, leisure suits, etc.

1. Those sideburns seem to be on the way back.

Leisure suits may take a while longer.

2. I get flashbacks now.

I see modern op-art type fabric prints, the dreaded colors of burnt orange, avocado green and harvest gold.

When I moved into my house, which has been the family home for several generations, it looked like a 1970s nursing home, since my grandparents had lived in it until the 1980s.

My grandmother had ugly valances and draw curtains across beautiful windows that were 2 feet wide by six feet high. Rolled glass. She made it look like a cave. She also had wall to wall carpet. We ripped out the curtains and put white miniblinds in the windows. We ripped up the wall to wall carpet and found beautiful hardwood floors that were in excellent shape. And this place was built in the 1880s!!

3. How about the kitchen? Was that full of appliances and linoleum in those colors?

4. Two years ago

when we were trying to sell our home and move closer to civilization, we looked at a home that hadn't been redone since the 1970s.

The kitchen had harvest gold appliances and funky ass wall paper, fake wood cabinets and valences, etc. Straight from the mid 1970s.

I loved it and totally would have left it as it was had we bought it.

Unfortunately, nobody wanted to buy our house, so...

5. Yeah, that was a really fun part about the movie "Boogie Nights".

6. Clowns painted in lurid colors on black velvet

or was that the 60s?

7. I think between the late 60's and early 70's.

I'd see those ads in "Archie" comic books.

The clown ones and those little helpless puppies and kittens with the HUGE eyes.

8. Yes! The big-eyed children

by Margaret Keane and someone named Lee. My head hurts just thinking about them.
