If you Bitches could travel back in time to 1976, what would YOU purchase off the racks to wear?

  1. An American flag inspired Speedo and a bottle of SPF 500 for my delicate translucent skin instead of using baby oil. No wonder I look 51.

    1. Looking 51 is great if you are sixty. Not so great if you are 40.

    1. CANADIAN GIRL: And you would have purchased your “look” from the 1976 Spring/Summer Eaton’s catalogue…the last Eaton’s catalogue produced after something like 92 years.

    1. ROSES: You’ve opted for someone other than Robert Downey Jr. for a change.

      But then again, RDJ would have only been aged 11 at the time.

  21. I was a mere babe in arms in 1976. Schwarzwalderkirchetorte, fondue sets and Carmen rollers were all the rage.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Seems that Canada doesn't want to have anything to do with Carmen rollers. That's what I got after clicking your link dear Mitzi:

    Carmen rollers must have been realy realy dirty!

  23. MITZI & HUGGY JON: The link works for me.

    Perhaps it's blocked from the sensitive eyes of Quebecers.

    They're not dirty at all. It says, “Used very good condition and clean.”
