Space Station 76 (2014) does 70s decor in a space station nicely.

For Cultural Anthropology going back to the mid-50's it's hard to beat those Lawrence Welk reruns on PBS.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

Somehow she just doesn't quite have the hair right. I'm trying recall when the ultra-pale lip gloss was in (made the wearer look like a corpse) and she is too light on the eye shadow. Perhaps it's just my fond memories from when I was 21, but I think the women who wore miniskirts back in 1967 had better legs.

I always liked the Nehru jacket, never got one (too young) and never will.

Darrell म्हणाले...

Yeah, kiddo. EVERYONE was dressing like that in 1967. And we all showed up to the Pentagon, too. You understand the past well.

Darrell म्हणाले...

I got my first Nehru jacket from Montgomery Ward for $2. They had a paper catalog getting rid of unsold stock. I got a postcard in the mail telling me to pick it up at my store.

I envy my friend his powder-blue leisure suit, with acetate shirt, gold medallion, and white shoes, which he trots out every Halloween. Back in the day I had a job which required me to dress like Herb Tarlek.

Good point. While I recall seeing plenty of mini-skirts, I don't recall seeing anyone - outside of a catalog- wearing a Nehru suit.

I did like how she went to the Home Depot lumber aisle just to make a “wood stock” pun.

Omg, do they show that everywhere? I thought it was a local thing here. God it was lame.

Sean Gleeson म्हणाले...

(Although come to think of it, Woodstock was 1969, so it does not fit the ’67 theme at all.)

Knockin' me out with those American thighs.

Earnest Prole म्हणाले...

When you look at those miniskirts, remember that 1967 is closer to World War 1 than it is to today.

Not just you. Much as I hate to admit it; Marlo Thomas would've rocked that miniskirt.

I suppose a favorite list is subjective but it's hard to see how this one (Brewer and Shipley's One Toke Over the Line) can be omitted:

Well, you didn't have the $2 bucks to spend, did you?

When my partner's mom passed away, I did the deed of cleaning out her personal stuff. An only child/son probably doesn't want to go through his late mom's underwear, old clothes...

She was Japanese and grew up in post WWII Japan. Thus a touch of hoarding and it was clear she NEVER threw one article of clothing away, ever. Going through her clothing was like experiencing layers of fashion history: authentic Ray Ban sunglasses, vests with embroidered peace/ecology signs, varied lengths of skirts, varied styles of pants (some of the older ones were in fashion again). She was not as quiet/subdued as most Japanese women were - she definitely had some of that late 1960's flair.

She was entertaining and knowledgable for her age.

In 1966 I was wearing shirtwaist dresses with tie weejuns and madras everything. In 1967 it was the high fashion English inspired mod look and by 1968 the mini- skirt vs maxi-skirt which was popularized, in part, by the fashion from the movie Dr. Zhivago was the thing. By 1969 I was full hippie with leather fringe, velvet, etc. So much fun. Fashion has never been better than in the 60's. Hair was long and straight, courtesy of a real iron pressing the hair between a towel on the ironing board. I still have a few of my beautiful dresses, etc from the era.

Shouting Thomas म्हणाले...

The women who dressed like that have been bitching at their contemporary men for 50 years now because they gave pussy away for free.

It was our fault they decided to sleep around.

My nostalgia for the style is long gone, buried in the 50 years of bitching that followed.

PM म्हणाले...

The swells dressed like that. Hippie chicks wore bellbottoms and halter tops.

Earnest Prole म्हणाले...

Let’s watch as she rocks some swimwear, shall we?

Maillard Reactionary म्हणाले...

One of my cohort in high school showed up one day during freshman year wearing a Nehru outfit, complete with the jewel medallion, etc. It made quite a stir at the time (1966); I don't recall whether the authorities (it was a Catholic institution) stepped on him for it. Probably, because it did not include the required necktie. Evidently, his parents gave him a lot of rope for youthful enthusiams, up to a point at least.

Actually we were good buds back in those days and for a while after graduation. He went on to a distinguished career in the US Foreign Service.

I had a Batman lunchbox in 1967.

AllenS म्हणाले...

1967? Everything that I wore in 1967 was olive drab in color. For. The. Whole. Year. At least I didn't have to pay for my clothes, so, there's that.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

In the 60s I was wearing bermudas and a tee shirt, same as ever since.

tcrosse म्हणाले...

Funny, but back then I was wearing a lot of blue. But I bet we wore our hair the same.

Jim at म्हणाले...

Mini-skirts and pantyhose in 1967. It was a wonderful time for a five-year-old boy in midtown Manhattan.

Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...

Since those years 1967 etc were my time (graduated high in 1968 and later move to SF) i recognize much of the styles she is trying to replicate.

I think she nailed the first, Mod style, very well

The maxi dress was not quite on the head, but she did a pretty good job. I remember the Palazzo Pants outfits as being more popular than the maxi dresses. The dresses reminded me of muumuus or pregnancy clothes. The palazzo pants with a cropped top or halter top really felt elegant.

The hippie stuff. That was all over the place. Some went with the mystic eastern look. Others wore rawhide vests with beads and Amerindian influences. Others just worn to Hell jeans and psychedelic T shirts. Trying to nail down that style is like trying to nail Jell-o to a tree.

Fun video.

In 1967 I went to Boy Scout Camp with fifty other kids in my troop. Our leaders were World War Two And Korean Vets who had children or sometimes grand children in the Scouts. They taught us woodcraft and traditional values. They scorned and othered homosexuals. Transsexuals would not have been allowed into the bathroom of the opposite sex. They instilled traditional Christain values. The Jewish troop instilled tradional Jewish values. There was no such thing as Muslims.

Now the Boy Scouts are about to declare bankruptcy. Because of predatory homosexuals and the lawsuits that they generate. Gays and the tolerance of their perversions have destroyed the Boy Scouts.

Soon they will do the same thing to the Church.

If only we could go back to 1967.

@DBQ, do you remember the white lip gloss and the "I've been a corpse for at least four hours" look? Was that the sixties? Or was it later?

she did a good job of showing us how someone that today would be skinny would have be the opposite of skinny in 1967. But, she looked nice in the miniskirt just the same (just momish)

My mom bought me, at my request, a cheap Nehru jacket. I wore it once or twice. But I had an excuse -- I was a sixth grader. Other kids had desert boots (Mom: No. One pair of dress shoes and a pair of PF Flyers was enough each year), a Greek fisherman's cap ala Davy Jones (No!), an Iron Cross necklace (she felt it was sacrilegious but I bought one on the sly with my allowance) and paisley shirts and wide belts (those were okay)

Some of the best singles from the music scene during those times

There's a nice fifty-year-old fashion flashback with The Zombies here.

You're welcome.

Bruce Hayden म्हणाले...

@DBQ - class of 68 here too.

Didn't really get hit with a lot of that till the next year in college. And then we all moved to the Colorado hipi look. Girlfriend, at 110 lbs, shared overalls with a friend who outweighed me. I actually dressed about how I do now, with jeans and button down shirts, except I now wear shoes and have an occasional haircut.

She did a good job of channeling "That Girl" in the green dress.

Jaq म्हणाले...

I saw Marlo Thomas a couple of years ago on Broadway and she still got my motor running.

Jaq म्हणाले...

I think that I spent 1967 fishing, playing baseball, pond hockey, and kick the can.

Jupiter म्हणाले...

She just doesn't look like 1967. She looks like some typical modern feminist twat. It's something about how she sets her jaw when she closes her mouth.

Is Schumer still inserting “Trump shutdown” into every sentence?

Can we get a counter placed next to him on the screen to show how juvenile he’s being?

Trump already took responsibility. You can move on to the next preprogrammed rant.

glenn म्हणाले...

From my lofty perch of being born in 1939 I look back on the late 60’s with amused detachment. While my friend and his wife were searching Golden Gate Park for her younger sister who had run away to join the hippies I was working at a job that turned into a career. And you should have seen my wife at 22 in her little black dress and heels.
Oh, the little sister? After about two weeks of driving to SF and searching they found her. Drugged out, f***ed out, with a dose of the clap. The drugs fried her brain, she had flashbacks for years. She was 15. I’ll take it the way I did it.

Re EDH @ 4:07 p.m. My lunchbox in kindergarten ('65-'66) was a "Battle Kit" -- check link https://www.ebay.com/i/362489017808?chn=ps probably be arrested if I showed up at school with this now.

I yearn for the day when the Boomer cohort begins to age out and we can get some relief from their nostalgia and cultural domination.
