That's So 70s - High Rise Pants, Part 6!!

Has it really been over a year since we explored that wacky 70s fashion craze of the the High Rise Pants?!?  Granted, they don;t generate the heart pounding excitement of the mini skirts or the swimwear.  Still they had their moments!!

Like here with Kathy and Karen.  Let's face, high risers (along with some of the other 70s fashions like bodysuits) required a certain, well, body shape to pull off.

Perhaps that's why we don't see them so much these days.  Not everyone can pull off that look anymore.

Yep, the "Lean Body Look" is a relic of a by gone era.   Gee, thanks high fructose corn syrup for transforming America!!

Those high risers were even great in four piece ensembles!

Even the guys got into the act!  Well, let's not go there.  Let's get back to the gals shall we?!?

Much, much better!

Sometimes it was kinda difficult to tell if the pants worn by the models were high risers or not.  Like here with Kathy and Colleen.  Colleen definitely has the high rise look going on, but what about Kathy?  I can't quite tell, the pic at the lower left is cut off.......

Oh yeah, no doubt about it!!

High Rise pants meant High Flying fun for the jet setters in the 70s!!

I just had to throw this pic in the post, not sure why.  All I can say is "That's soooo 70s!!)

One more look at Karen and Kathy.  "Why are they so happy?" you ask.  Well you would be too if you killing it in those 70s High Rise Pants man!!

K Club Special, Part 33 - Kay Campbell, Part 5!!

It's time for another Kay Club Special on K Campbell!!

Two girls for every boy!!  And what a great way to start off with Kay, Colleen, and friends on the cover of the 1969 Penneys Fall and Winter catalog! (1)

And why not stay with Kay and Colleen from 1969! (1)

And with Cay Sanderson and Wendy Hill! (1)

 Now we are in 1971 and staying with JCPenneys, Kay in a long dress!

 And in a short dress (with stylish hoodie!)

a

All Kay in all stripes all the time.  It's a Kay Campbell overload!

Now we've moved to 1973, and yep we're still staying with JCPenney for this Kay Campbell special.

And Kay with Kathy in some groovy 1973 JCP syles!  After all this is the Kathy Loghry Blogspot, so we have to have at least one pic of her.

We've had Kay pics from 1969, 1971, and 1973, so perhaps we should change that pattern.....

Nah, I'm an engineer by training, we like patterns, and why mess with a winning formula.   This is Kay from 1975 in JCPenneys!

Kathy, Kay, and Karen.  1975 was a very, very good year for JCPenney! (1)

It's 1977 and Kay is still going strong!  She had a simply amazing career!

Kathy and Kay together again!  Two classic models from teh GOlden Age of teh Big Book catalogs!
