''Dance like no one is watching" |
Ok, if somebody dared you to walk around in 1970's clothes for a week, would you do it?
Why yes, and why no? Keep in mind there would be no monetary compensation, and you'd have to dress that way to work, store, cutting your grass,etc. Would you do it? For those of you who may not know what the 70's attire was, here's just a sample pic. I will share why I'm asking this later. Please answer this social experiment as honest as possible.

I wore tennis shoes, Levi jeans, and screen print T shirts in the 70s...I still wear tennis shoes, Levi jeans, and T shirts...but not the ones with with marijuana leaves or Zig-Zag logo on them...

Hey bought - how bout posting the female version of those - I just loved those micro-mini's and the hip-huggers with tube tops.
Was 18 in '74 - denims with western shirts and cockroach killers - still wearing them today. |

Outlaws! Your most intelligent post EVER!!!  To your question, bought - if I could pick and choose among the various high-fashion items I had at the time (HA!), I could do it. I'd still go for the bell-bottom jeans, sandals, peasant tops, jumpsuits (I looked damn fine in those things, though going to the bathroom was a PITA), minis, maxi-coats, boots ... Just don't ask me to repeat the hairstyles or the maternity clothes. Not so great - well, the maternity clothes were certainly great in size, but not in style.  |

Damm--man I had a ******ing black T with the Zig Zag dude on it. My mother must have thrown it out 10 times and I fished it out of the trash every time.-LOL  I have a few creepy pics of me in a baby blue leisure suit--I laugh my head off every time I see it. No way I'd wear that shat again- "You'd better be able to sandpaper a Bobcat's butt in a phone booth if you want some of this. |

I saw some tops just like these at the mall this week! Coming back in style! Plus hubby dresses almost the same as he did back in those days.... boots, jeans, ****on down.....no more snuff ring in the jean pocket though.

Would I wear 70's clothes for a week?
Not on a bet, not on a dare, not even on a double-dog dare. I graduated in 1977 surrounded by platform shoes, feathered hair and polyester stretch pants. And what the women did was almost as silly. You know that look a woman gets when she wants sex? Neither do I. |

Thank you for answering the question. Does this make us slaves to current fashion(s)? "It is the weak who are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong" -- Leo Roskin |

Hmmm. Wear a pastel-colored polyester leisure suit or get waterboarded. Leisure suit or warerboarding? Hmmm. Gimme a minnit--I'll get back to you....(exits, stage right, at a very high velocity....)

No. Always hated those too-long pants legs and too-tight pants. At the time I had to go to fat peoples stores to get pants with usable pockets.

Today it would probably be considered child abuse, but I vividly remember buying one of my kids the overalls/t-shirt outfit. The saving grace was the everyone else dressed their kids in the same fashions. |

My favorite was a Sweet Home Alabama T that had the outline of the state in Confederate Stars and Bars with a big 'ol leaf superimposed on it...it was ok to wear anywhere in San Diego but wearing it got me shook down by the, "man" in Anniston Alabama in the summer of 1978... |
