Look at that natural beauty there, something sorely lacking in today’s youth.
That same girl now would have multiple shitty tattoos all over, piercings and half-blue/pink dyed hair. And way too much makeup (if she wore any).
A tattoo on a girl is as cringe as a bumper sticker on a Ferrari.
Don’t do it, young ladies. Take pride in your natural beauty.
See my comments on the license plate. Relatively current.
Let’s be clear on this pic. That is a vanity plate fron CA, and is a very modern plate. This may be an old truck, but this is a very modern picture, despite her 70s looking hairstyle.

Lol! Looks like a pic from more than one slumber party I attended. Maybe all of 2 all together. I never really had much fun after about midnight I was ready to sleep. Something impossible to do at a slumber party. Consequently, I was cranky all the next day.
Mary, I heard sometimes the girls got a little “curious” and “adventurous” at those parties. Can you confirm?

Looks like a KZEW Zoo Freak sticker on the window. I had one of those on my van in the mid 70s.
“Bon Ami”
It hasn’t scratched yet!

Having to go to weddings were a drag…..until I was in my 20s. So many girls and you could drink at 18yrs. old.
Yep I thought of this scene and also Sam Wainwright (hee-haw) offering to let Jimmy Stewart in on the ground floor in plastics when I read the piece on vinyl chloride.
How many not only remember but actually used these?

ASIG, I still have the key for my old ones, though the skates are long gone.
p.s. They would never stay on Converse or PF fliers shoes.
Where’s the skate key?
I cut mine up to make my first skate board.
My step-sister had those.
I graduated high school in ’85. That could have easily been where I went to school.
You whippersnapper. 1979
Ha! 1967.
Not the South, I had already graduated HS but public schools got destroyed with the dumbing down and bussing abominations in the late 1960s. It had already ruined high schools when I took my first HS STEM teaching job in 1969.
I graduated high school in 1987. Not quite as white as that school. We had more mexicans but it was plenty white. And for four years, I had just as much fun as those kids did in the video.
Some youngsters are on here today. Lots of days, actually, but we’re just getting a sense of how young some people are.
Romper Room!
I always thought the magic mirror was creepy as fuck!
I was always with pride in kindergarten a don’t bee!
I had(still have)serious issues!
RompRoom was past my time. In the ’50s I watched Captain Kangaroo… I thought Captain Kangaroo was old then.
(watch the 1st two minutes… it’s 9:30 in the am and “Grand Father Clock” is sleepy.
Now, I am like the Grand Father Clock.)
[youtube
The Capt. ran well into the 70’s,remember as a little kid very early 70’s,was growing out of that stuff by then.
Loved Captain Kangaroo when I was little.
We also had Ranger Rick and the studio was here in D.C. My mom took me there once to see the show.
I loved Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Green jeans, and the whole show. But I was watching it in the 60s
They were prepping us all for living in the surveillance state…
The LDS-inspired mirror creeped me out too and I never even watched R/R but once or twice. The whole damn show gave me the willies even as a preschooler myself.
Not this video, but I’m still puzzled after all these years. Growing up in Nashville, I’m totally sure that I was selected to be in an episode of Romper Room; I can remember parts of it like it was a long time ago. 😎 but the odd thing is it was never on TV. I won’t ask if I’m crazy. I don’t need the confirmations.
It was just Big Brother for kids…lighten up. LOL
I think one of Sandy’s balloons there was actually made of glass…
I forgot to add, thanks, Avalon.
Those bridesmaids’ dresses are LOL hilarious. Reminds me of when my mom made matching shirts out of stretch polyester for the oldest 5-6 of us. We looked like the Von Trapps. That was back when one of our Christmas presents was always underwear.
There’s so much today, I couldn’t even know where to start, so I won’t. Great post, interesting comments.
I had a teacher that let you put math formulas on the brown paper sack book covers. His way of protecting the books back then.
Spearmint. Never liked Juicy Fruit.
Elizabeth Taylor….damn!
I gotta say, Juicy Fruit all the way!
Have to agree. Spearmint has always had a stench to me that makes my stomach start doing flip flops like I’m going to throw up. Sometimes (in school) someone would be chewing it and the stench would be so bad I’d be desperately hoping I didn’t throw up in class. Came close several times to just running out of the room. It was torture.
“Hey Ridley, you got any Beemans?”
On Tuesday, October 14, 1947, at 8:00 a.m. PDT, Yeager ingressed the B-29 mother ship. The Bell X-1 was underneath her belly. Once airborne, Yeager was informed that it was time, and he rode down the slide ladder inside the B-29’s mid-section to enter the Bell aircraft.
As Yeager has said, he asked for a stick of Beemans chewing gum from his friend and the B-29 flight engineer, Jack Ridley. Aviators loved Beemans — it was their lucky gum — and it also served as an antacid.
I had those ‘cartoon sets’ but it wasn’t of any of these characters. I can’t recall what they were, but of course, all the pieces were vinyl and you dressed characters and added accessories.
Not a single fat person in any of those pics.
