Groupies

Women just can’t control themselves around singing duos, it’s a fact. Fake turtlenecks really put these boys over the county line of score town…I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned the amazing work of Wishbook Web yet. If you like department store catalogs, then you need to check this place out. These maniacs scan each and […]

Jean Street is a tough place

Just crawling with Hustlers, pimps and players….. Another 70’s related article for Topless Robot came up yesterday and i forgot to mention it du to Canada Day beer drinking, it’s titled the 10 Worst Trading Cards Sets Ever.

Mojave!

No it’s not a scene from Space:1999, it’s an ad for Mojvae! Carpet. I never seem to discuss one of the most pinnacle things about the 70’s, Shag carpeting. It’s one of those things so associated with the era, I get happy when i see it. Coincedently, I fly into a murderous rage when i […]

A Room Divided

The Choice is Yours!

Here you have it gents, 1979 presented you with either the one piece jumpsuit made from lightweight “Poplin” (wasn’t that a girls toy line from the eighties?) or the classic double knit polyester leisure suit and fellas, you can get it in lime green or sky blue! I don’t think I could make that important […]

Pajamas you wear outside

On the Prowl

They’re on a mission and ladies, failure is not an option. I’m still working on it but be sure to check out the MegoMuseum Blog for coverage of Megomeet later on today, I gots some fancy moving pictures and everything!
