Village People or James Bond?

What a tough choice kids had in 1979, smooth as glass spy James Bond or those “Whacky” Village People? In 1979 it was an honest dilemma, now those pictures look like different sections of an adult video store. “I’d get the biker son, he looks tough, that Roger Moore is a cissy!”Please tell me that […]

Dracula Gets Down

I can’t believe it took me two years to notice this wonderful picture from the 1982 Don Post Catalog, I’m guessing it had been taken a couple of years earlier. If you google “Halloween in the 70s” this should be the first thing that pops up. Dracula is seen here clearly living the high life, […]

Bee Gees Fever —Catch It!

I remember the Bee Gees were popular but wow, I don’t remember this much (or frankly any) merchandise out there as a kid. Then again, I doubt I ventured from the Star Wars aisle at all past 1978.

Happy Disco People Chase Away Blues

I’ve got a “case of the Mondays” (you have to say this with a pouty lip) so what better way to chase it away than with a group of polyester clad preteens dancing poorly. The kid on the left is trying for Travolta but ending up more Michael Cera….
