Happy Monday!
Everything’s coming up POSIES!
Am I Normal?
I was shown this sex ed film in grade nine, thanks to the magic of the youtube, I can now relive it. Made in the late seventies and looking it, I even remember my gym teacher laughing. I couldn’t believe how much of this I remembered twenty three years later. Boys have baseball bats, girls […]
AMT Model Catalog from 1975
AMT was a pretty big deal in the mid seventies, they had some terrific car model kits but for those whose tastes ran geekier they had an amzing line of kits based on Star Trek. I can’t tell you how many of these great kits I ruined with my crummy gluemanship and sloppy testors paint […]
Put Togethers Aren’t Just For Fellas
Even ladies aren’t safe from the fashion massacre that is the Put Together. More on this all July, it doesn’t get better, I assure you.
More Welcoming Back for Mr Kotter
Seeing as Gabe Kaplan is making news as an author these days it seems cool to revisit the Mattel Welcome Back Kotter dolls. The classroom playset had a record so you could reenact your favourite moments, the Sweathogs motorcycle was a clever recycling of Big Jim’s motor cross bike. Mattel never throws anything out!
Swimsuit Tuesday
Seriously, I like this bathing suit, it’s kind of “star trekish” in a sort of sexy way.
The Ultimate Outfit
That red number in the corner is the piece I have been looking for, it’s what I plan on wearing to weddings of people I don’t really like.Does anyone else hate the word “slacks”?
1977 True Value Toy Catalog
Today, we go back 30 years (!) to the 1977 True Value Toy Catalog to look at some of the hot items of the day, it was a banner year for toys with memorable items such as Telestar, Stretch Monster, Fuzzy Pumper Barber shop, The Sunshine Family, Pulsar, Charlies Angels and so much more…….Previous True […]
Batteries not Included
Remote Control seemed to come on real strong in the late 70’s, wireless toys became more cost effective I guess. I had the remote controlled R2-D2 (which broke quickly!) and remember desiring Tobor greatly. That Batmobile by Remco would have been killer too.
Put Togethers : A New Name For Terror
Not content to let JC Penney’s Man Mates collection roam the earth unchallenged as the world’s only “Permanent Bachelor Wear” so Monkey Wards came up with “Put Togethers” a series of outfits that should have made God angry. All this month we’ll be featuring new put togethers, leaving you to judge which line is worse. […]
