Scintillating Sears Sleepwear - Part 2

"What's this?" you ask.  "Didn't we just have a post on 70s sleepwear?"  Well yeah, but I figured that we needed some shock treatment to bring us out of the Plaid, Plaid World of last week's post and back into some kind of normalcy.  I thought some sleepwear from the Big Books would be just the ticket...

You have got to be kidding me!  More plaid!  Now with all dimensionality gone, the plaids are bleeding into other posts!  Will this plaid madness ever end!?!?!  What, oh what, will it take to snap us out of this plaid nightmare and back to our own reality?????????  Some kind of super-high-tech time machine?? A magic spell???  An elixir of unimaginable power?? What, pray tell, will end the madness????


She's got it, Yeah baby she's got it.... Wow! Kathy is a short pink nightie!  That'll do the trick.  Now hopefully that will cure us of plaids for the time being.  You've got to love the bouquet of flowers thrown in - so random.  As a bonus we also have Dottie Harris (1) is a long pink nightie and a bonus pic of her in the lower right.

Kathy and Kay with some kind of weird marionette, puppet thing going on.  As a bonus, in the small insert pic, we have all four of the K Clubbers in one shot (along with a couple of others).  Despite their dominating the catalog world during the 70s, it's actually fairly rare to find all four of them together.

Another rare pic of all four of the K Clubbers!  Colleen has got some serious 'tude going on there.  It is easy to find pics with any combination of  two or even three of them in it, but here we have another with all four (along with another model). (2)

Whimsical says it all.

A bonus pic of "Embroidered Sleepwear Coordinates".  The model on the right (top and bottom) is Pam Erikson.  The mystery model is in the middle - still haven't found out what her name is.

So it looks like the Scintillating Sears Sleepwear has dealt the Plaid, Plaid World a final death blow.  And good thing too!  After all what could be worse than plaids?

Stripes! Now the plaids themselves are fading out leaving only stripes!  At least they are monogrammed!

Say, the concept of 70s stripes is giving me some ideas..............

footnotes:

(1)  Dottie Harris had the misfortune (at least as far as this blog is concerned) of not having her name begin with a hard K sound.  Thus, while she isn't officially part of the K Club, she is an honorary member.  She, along with other honorary members, will be featured in upcoming posts.

(2) Even rarer is to find a pic where all four K Clubbers and ONLY them are in it.  Still looking for one of those!

    1. Yeah, pretty strange. Of course the last pic of the jailhouse sleepwear is fairly odd also.

  2. Kathy Loghry and Dottie Harris were in the model of the year contest together in the late 60's.

    1. Yep, that is the subject of a future post. I know it was on TV - kind of an early version of Top Model.

    1. Wish I could find it! Somehow, I vaguely, vaguely remember seeing it on TV, but maybe I'm imaging things.
