1. that is so cool.....
I was stuck wearing hand-me-downs from my two older brothers - t-shirts and shorts with various rips and holes. I had 5 older sisters but their clothes wore out before I could get into them.

Thankfully, we got to wear uniforms to school so I didn't stick out like a sore thumb.

2. I saw some of my old clothes there..
My aunt opened a boutique in the 60's and I got to order stuff from the salesmen, that I and my friends wanted.. I had some pretty cool duds back then:)

4. I had a table top hairdryer just like the one pictured
and yes, we did sleep in enormous curlers. I have no idea why we did that.

5. Tropicana orange juice cans.. Heavy metal ones..not cardboard
and industrial strength bobby pins to hold them in place..We'd wake up with dents in our cheeks, and headaches:)

7. My old closet is on display daily on "That 70s Show"
Their costume people are awesome. Jackie particularly is usually wearing something I wore back then.
