Kooky Revelation of the Day
 

Kooky Revelation of the Day:
I have not and will not watch Ghostbusters because of my initial push-back against the horrific marketing blitz way back when. So now there is this one little cultural reference point of my generation, which I'm only aware of in a derivative way.

Your turn!

You are not a person. You cannot be a person anymore.

Thanks!

I want it live in the 70's. I want to go buy a Rush album and I want all of my friends to come over and listened to it on my turn table.


lol

That would be a great theme party. Bring your favorite vinyl.

oh yay! and goats and wide open spaces! I'd be in heaven. Minus the goats.

My friend has entirely redone her 1972 house in 1970s style. Down to the orange kitchen, pleated tupperware, goldenrod,and harvest bathroom suites, owl and mushroom themed ornamentation, huge wooly rug tapestry things on the wall (in shades of brown, natch)....and and entire 70s closet for the entire family, including roller sneaker things. All furniture, board games... everything.

I'm still not nostalgic for that part of the 70's. Don't think I ever will be.

We had a farm house. It looked like any other farm house, with white walls and french door to the sun room.

When my dad sold half the property he bought a double wide. It had green bathrooms. One large and one small bathroom off the master bedroom.It a swanky stand up shower. All three bedrooms had wood paneling. The wood paneling is the only thing I can think of garishly 70's, As for the green sinks. I've seen worse colors these days.

The living room had leather furniture and a round wood table and a wood buffet. The kitchen sink was green. We had a normal carpet, no woolly rugs, but I did see one once.

I was in everyone of my neighbors houses for years and years and never saw weird colors, or wallpaper. Maybe country folk don't get the latest fashions.

oh wait, I might have seen rodeo themed wallpaper in someones attic once. I never saw tupperwear though. Living with a bachelor dad with three kids we ate most everything so no need for leftovers. We only shopped once a month since it was quite a drive we just didn't go get more.

Funny thing is I live a couple of miles from where I grew up. Civilization isn't quite that far, but it is almost here, where I am with a little tiny mall type thing just down the road.

oh I know why! Out west, it takes so long to get the latest fashion, we were probably into the 80s before we knew what we were missing and thankful for it.

In the upper northwest, there were only two cities that mattered. That was Portland and Seattle. 31 years later,maybe we can add Eugene and a couple other cites in Washington.

yup, she has the wood panelling. they're tapestries more than rugs, but my british born-in-1970 self has not the correct vocab for these monstrosities... wall hangings with big wooly loops.

Colors are orange, brown, gold and avocado. She's the 1972 expert. Does nothing by half. Other friends who are old enough to remember verify it as authentic. But they are sane enough to want to forget it.... :lol:

Someone paid good money to have wood paneling installed and not torn down. :headshake

the 80s family before tried to cover it up, though... :lol:

No wonder you're a mess. You must have nightmares. All that orange, mush roomy woolliness. Tell her you don't like it and it makes you kooky.

My dad still has original wood paneling in the house I grew up in. Also brown semi-shag carpet. The rest of the house isn't so bad, but those two are awful enough on their own.
