Models Behaving Badly - Part 2 The Ladies!

Yes it's been a year since we saw how the men in those 70s catalogs behaved badly.  As I remember it all started with lechery and ended in complete debauchery.  Oh the shame!!  In case you missed it, here is a link to that post.  Be warned however, their boorish behavior is shocking and has no place in decent society!

Now it's the ladies turn.  And I use that term loosely because, while they may seem all sweet and nice on the outside, they certainly were up to no good also!!

"Hey guys, enough already.  You're pulling a little too hard there.  I didn't know he was your boyfriend.  No really I didn't. What, you're pulling harder now.  HEY STOP IT!"  Surely that isn't our very own Kathy and Karen pulling that poor gal apart.  I mean it is Thanksgiving week and all, but they're giving her the wishbone treatment here! (Nice boots by the way)


Ahh yes, there was a time when gossip had to be done via an actual telephone.  Note the stylish black color, the sleek smallish size, and the ease of use.  Well maybe not!  These poor gals had to, ***gasp*** SHARE one phone.  OMG!! LMAO!  How did girls survive in this technological wasteland before cell phones?  How was the serious business of daily gossip sustained??


Well, there was always the method of actually talking one-on-one!   Here we have a couple of ladies decked out for the big dinner party and passing some dirt on one of other guests.  Not sure what these ladies think is so darn funny, but it's obvious to me that they're up to no good!


Talk about kicking a girl when she is down!  There are so many questions here.  Did Kathy fall down or was she pushed?!?  Is that gal on the left keeping her down as Kathy struggles to get up?  And why are the gals on the right dancing a jig?  Are they celebrating Kathy's misfortune?  Like I said - so many questions.  There must have been one doozie of a story to put together all these pieces. (1)


Don't worry about Kathy.  She gets her revenge here. Once more, so many questions.  Did Cay fall down or was "helped".  No matter what, Kathy seems to be be holding her down.  What did Cay do that was so horrible?  Once again, there must be something going on here behind the scenes. I guess we'll never know the truth. (1)

Yes, compared to the guys, these ladies bad behavior is more subdued - no exploding golf courses and such.  Still, as you can see here in these pics, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.

Speaking of keeping an eye on someone.  I have a feeling that there's still someone sneaking around out there...
Yeah, you there gopher.  We know you're still out there stirring up trouble.  So you'd better keep your head down.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Fashion as Couples Therapy (Part 7) Baby It's Cold Outside!

Brrrrr!! Old Man Winter blew in with a vengeance and is it cold!!  Even down here in South Tejas, it's cold (okay relatively speaking).  In 2014 we have "polar vortexes" which I really don't understand.  Back in the 70s, we just called it cold weather.  But not to worry, polar vortex or not, with His n' Hers coordinates form the Big Book catalogs, you could stay extra cozy warm with that special someone!!

"Oh, baby, it's cold outside....."  Yes it is.  But what better way to snuggle up to your main squeeze than in matching double breasted pea coats with matching scarves or matching faux-wool shirt jackets!  I like the guy's hat too - very suave!!

"Oh the weather outside is frightful, but inside it's most delightful.."  And what better way to snuggle up in warmth by the fire than in matching sweaters!! One thing about the 70s is that they had a thing for collars.  If you wore those collars out today, you'd get some strange looks!

Brrrrr!!  For that really cold wintery blast, you need to bring out the heavy coats.  Still that's no reason to not have matching His n' Hers styles!!  Here they even come in plaid for that Northern lumberjack look!!

This is just like the first pic, except that the guy that WAS with Kathy is now with Karen and the guy that WAS with Kay in the second pic is now with Kathy.  What's going on here?!?!?  Well it was the 70s after all!!

Ahh yes, in the 70s, you weren't a REAL couple unless everything matched - wool hats included. Heck they even have matching pants on!

Yes, even the scarves had to match.  Except, wait a minute here, what is that guy doing in a non-matching hat?!?!?  That is a clear signal that he is wanting his "space".  Not a good sign for this couple at all!

Yep, the matching leather trenchcoats with matching plaid "mufflers".  I hope it is was chilly in the studio because those coats look absolutely suffocating!

Still, no matter how bundled up a couple was in their coats, scarves, and hats, there is one piece of winter apparel that is timeless...

Sweaters says it all!!!  (especially in Wintuk Orlon Acrylic!)

Programming note: I posted early this week since I'm going to be out for a few days.  Next week I'll resume posting on Mondays.  That will give you extra time to dig these groovy winter coordinates. Keep those comments coming, but I probably won't be able to reply for a while.
