Wow, I think I see a little foot there, whew! Getting hot in here. Not that I expect women to wear pvc cat suits to bed but this is the north American equivalent of the Burca. I think the mother’s hat is the true indicator that she’s done with fornication for good. It kind of […]

When I was last researching at the library, I came across this cool old newspaper circular for Woolco Catalog stores. Which I don’t even remember existing and according to this flier there was one a block from where i was BORN! You don’t see cool ads like this anymore. I had all of the Star […]

The amazing Iggy and Sandy made it onto my Christmas 1976 wishlist, they are a cone and a box that shape snow/sand. The people in the commercial made them look like they were more fun than a day at Disneyland with Batman. What the hell was I thinking? I was risking losing cool toys for […]

A couple of disclaimers, I was five for the majority of 1976 but that doesn’t make for an interesting title. Secondly, I was a boy, girls toys for all I know sucked in 1976, I would not be aware. It was very disapointing to read in collector books that the GI Joe Super Adventure Team […]

Anyone who grew up in the 70’s (in a part of North America that experienced snow) would remember these fashionable numbers on the playground. For years, I kept asking people “remember those Space Boot things kids wore?” but not knowing their actual name. Well, they’re actually called Space Boots, what a surpected exprise. Toy stuff: […]

Men don’t need excuses to dress poorly. To this day, I have friends who wear their pajama bottoms out in public, I feel uncomfortable for them. That’s why this snazzy outfit bugs me so much, it’s made of terry cloth so essentially it’s towel pants! Tell me this happy extra from Space:1999 didn’t think twice […]
