I graduated high school in 1972 and remember the mini skirts, bell bottoms and hip huggers with a wide belt. Do you remember shirts we wore with hip hungers to keep the shirt tucked in, they had snaps in the crotch? We called them body suits. I remember the white lip stick and shag hair cuts too. I remember wearing body suits. Man, were they uncomfortable. They were scratchy polyester, sometimes turtle neck, with a bumpy zipper at the neck and those awful snaps at the crotch. What in instrument of torture. Hadn't thought of those in years!

For some unholy reason my mother thought that my little pre-pubescent round little face would benefit from having a hair cut a la Dorothy Hamill style. It didn't of course, and it definitely didn't help that my favorite outfit was one of those french terry cloth all in one shorts things (complete with the ties on the sides to make it shorter) in such lovely color combinations such as lime sherbet green and lemon yellow. Add the ubiquitous tube sox and a sullen tween look and it a photograph that lives in anxiousland infamy. Ah. The 70's.

I remember carrying this around playing my cassettes. I would buy blank ones and record songs I heard in the radio. I also loved my Ms. Beasley doll ( still have one). Loved the 70's !

Worse yet...I myself sacrificed my long hair to the Dorothy Hamill haircut right before 6th grade started. But...I didn't have the hair type for it and it was never full and bouncy like I had dreamed it would be. Epic fail. I think the hair gods have been punishing me ever since for squandering my long beautiful hair by making it grow at microscopic speed from then on. I would love to blame my mother for 'letting' me do that, but I clearly remember her saying no repeatedly until I wore her down on the issue.

Barbie's Country Camper was awesome. And the Barbie perfume maker (holy stink). I don't remember the Barbie perfume maker, but I did have this Barbie Beauty Center, actually I still do in the basement... Mine was Farrah Fawcett, I believe!

I've been wracking my brain to remember the name of those little critters...they were called Woodsies, I believe! My little sister had them, and they were so cute! She played and played with them.

Here is something else I just remembered! My grandma had these crazy foam crafts on her fridge. This is a google image but you might remember similar ones.
