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!

It's a Plaid, Plaid World!

Oh no!! Once again the writer for this Aldens page has written the title of a future internet post!  Just like with the "Hot Pants - Kicky!" post last year we are forced to come face-to-face with a time travel paradox:  the past writes to the future which then writes to the past!

Friends, have we entered an infinite loop of time causality from which never to return? (1) Well we'll see.  Perhaps the plaids (2) will help us straighten out things....

It's a Plaid, Plaid World for sure here in this Aldens internet post, errr, I mean catalog page (see what I mean!  Which is the past? Which is the future? And where, oh where, is the present in this plaid madness?  Arrggghh).  Plaid pants, plaid jacket, plaid vest, plaid skirt, yikes!  Of course it is for "Snappy Young Separates".  Huh?  Are they talking about the clothes or the people?  Oh I see!  It refers to the people who are "separates" in the sense that they are locked in a time travel loop thus "separated" from the conventional arrow of time!! (or am I reading a little too much into that?!?!).

Just in time to save us from a complete plaid slam, we can find solace in the "fake suede fun hat" that Kathy is wearing.  I'm not sure how fake suede can be considered "fun", but there it is.

Surely that is it for this plaid induced nightmare from the past, er, present, er, future?  Oh whatever...

Double Yikes!!  Now we've added plaid knit hats, plaid scarfs, even (gasp) a plaid poncho! Is the very fabric of space-time being ripped apart and plaid rushing in to fill the void?  (Maybe the criss-crossing lines of the plaid itself represents this rift in our universe!)

Kathy in the upper left pulls off the super cute look.  Is that Karen Bruun in the middle?  Can't really tell.

This plaid aided destruction of causality cannot continue!  Can it?........

Triple Yikes!!! Kay is in all plaid from head to toe.  She obviously thinks something is funny.  Hey there! You may lost in a plaid induced time loop, but here in the present, the very fabric of reality is being shredded into plaid madness.  That's nothing to laugh about!

Things are looking grim for us in the "Non-Plaid World" or what's LEFT of it!  Can it get any worse?....

Quadruple Yikes!!!!  "What's Next" this post, errh, catalog page asks.  How can they even say that?  Next to what?  The past has become the future making the present undefinable!!!! There is no "next" to even talk about!!!!  (As a bonus, check out the groovy collar on that yellow shirt!)

Let's face it folks, time (whatever that word even MEANS now) is running out for us in the real world!  We are at the end of all existence.  Is there any hope left?.......

That's it!!! Obviously the entire universe has collapsed back into an infinitesimally small point of infinite mass - void of all dimensionality!  No longer referred to as either "plaid" or "tartan", these criss-crossing lines of non-existence are now called "Cinnamon Toast N' Honey".  Huh?  Have words lost all meaning in this bizzaro alternate universe?  And how bizzaro is this brave new world?  Well for starters, Kathy is wearing a black wig!

I may have just given up any hope of finding meaning in this new Plaid, Plaid World!  Maybe, just maybe we can have one pic of Kathy and the gang in non-plaid outfits....

Nope!

(1) Listen everyone, I don't want the comments to delve into that whole Block Universe model (aka the eternalist model) of time versus the Augustinian model (aka the presentist model) of time debate.  I mean those arguments and counter arguements have been going on for centuries.  There's no reason to hash them out here.  Besides, obviously from the tone of this post you can tell I'm on the Block Universe side so you presentists will just have to grit your teeth and go along.  Okay! (Besides your model of time is obviously WRONG anyway).

(2) I hate to get all technical and everything, but the words "plaid" and "tartan", while often used interchanbably, actually have different meanings.  Tartan refers to the entire class of fashion while the word "plaid" is used when refering to a specific tartan pattern used by a Scottish clan.  Of course "It's a Tartan, Tartan World" wouldn't quite have the same catchy cadence so we'll let it slide this time.
