As I prepare for tonight's celebration of America's 240th birthday, I remember the hoopla over the nation's Bicentennial, which occurred when I was much younger and wasn't expected to cook anything.
So I mined Google Images and Pinterest for some nostalgic images. Enjoy!

| Charlie's Angels dressed to celebrate. Is it bad that I would wear Kate Jackson's outfit today? |
 |
| Back when cover models, like Model Ts, came in only one color. In this case, blonde. |
 |
| I was more of a musk girl, myself. |
 |
| OMG Halton!!! |
 |
| A pattern by an American designer illustrated in red, white, and blue. Coincidence? I THINK NOT. |
And finally, three guesses as to what I was up to on July 4, 1976. Here's a hint:
Yes, the shame still lingers.
Off to start cooking. Happy Fourth!
Love the photo of Halston with those models, those ladies were so glam. I never understood all the heroin chic and the grunge look of the 90s, since I had grown up seeing images of Jerry Hall et al looking so beautiful and glamorous. Now I want to go buy a disco dress. Thank God I just saw one on Nordstrom's site, maybe it will be on sale next week. xx
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten how handsome and dapper he was! Just a beautiful, beautiful man. And so innovative--all those knits. And he resurrected cashmere, which had disappeared and was only evident in vintage twin sets.
DeleteElton!
ReplyDeleteBoy do these images bring a flood of memories and emotions back.
Elton!
I remember the first picture of Charly's Angels, but I don't remember the embroidered jeans that what's her name has on. But then again, many of their pictures showed them lined up walking like this.
Elton!
Did I mention I was a big Elton fan? I still am.
I was a huge fan during the Madman across the Water/Honky Cat phase--but it could have been because I wore glasses, loved platforms, and played piano, though. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love these pics! I mean, Elton. Dang.
