Good morning, Thursday. It's a humid day in the 'hood today and I'm at work doin' it and doin' it but wanted to break you off a little Throwback Thursday, because today I'm all up in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" soundtrack, which is an amazing homage to the salad days of the 1970s. I'm not sure when you grew up, but I do know most of my pop culture memories began in the 70s. I often think about riding in the back of my mom's Ford Granada, listening to soft rock on the radio and feeling slightly carsick. But besides a bit of nausea and wondering just how long my mother's fake tennis playing would last (tennis very much a thing then), I couldn't help but feel inspired by all of the insane glam around me. I always wished I had been old enough to really frolic in the 70s playground- it was simply the best era for so many cultural reasons- fashion ran the gamut from hippie to glam to slinky and music was everything from soft rock to hard rock to glam rock to disco to punk to some great R and B- I can't imagine a world without Soul Train- if more people line danced, the world would be in much better shape. It's probably best I was not of age in the 70s- who knows what I would have gotten into...
But since Thursdays are about looking back, here's some incredible photo inspiration from the oft imitated and much beloved era of the 70s. Without them, we'd have no boho chic, no Rachel Zoe, no most things often. I'm all about it, and though I've been on a 90s tip these days, you can't ignore the genius of Farrah and company. My fav image is the one above of Patti Smith in a Keith shirt. Doesn't get much better than that. I've barely scratched the surface with awesome 70s looks, but you get the idea. There's not a designer making clothes today that has not dabbled deep in the 70s arts at some point to have at some serious sexy. Hot.
Cause that's what's up this inspirational 70s FM kind of Thursday. Yours, in pina coladas and gettin' caught in the rain- cheers to the days of disco and whatever else got you through the night. XO
