Random thoughts from one in the peanut gallery…
Crystal Bernard of Wings fame is some kind of cute in that last foto of her in black top with plunging neck line.
Eddie, you had a prize in Val Bertinelli. She aged well. You? Not so much. Helluva an axe player, tho.
Those green eyes on Morticia…dayum!
Liz T was a beautiful woman, especially in younger years, but, even as she aged…pretty face.
Babs Eden: You had it; you flaunted it; and us older dudes loved your beautiful femininity. Hottie!
~Ditto, for Liz Montgomery.
Crystal was on Happy Days toward the end.
I LIVED EVERYY SINGLE ONE of the 70’s/kids pix. Yep…including the walkie-talkies(one of my favs)
I remember the AMC Gremlin with the Levi’s denim upholstery.
I had no idea Carolyn Jones had green eyes as I only saw here in black and White.
My dad had an AMC Hornet, my sister hit a horse with it!
Five pictures up from the bottom show a 1970 Superbird getting gas. It’s now worth about a million dollars in pristine shape. Not a bad return for $4298 new.
Miss “Lube Rack” is a guy now and reads stories to small children at the library.
Nah, it’s actually Pelousy believe it or not
crazy isnt it
thanks for the memories!
That’s all we have left now is memories of a time when people still had their head screwed on straight and some semblance of freedom.
I seem to recall that Nasty Pelousy was once Miss Lube Rack; can you imagine? I think it must have been in the 1920’s!
I think her rack was getting lubed quite regularly, which is why she got votes.
hahaha… that miss lube rack is Pelosi isn’t it? She was a pinup a century ago… 😛
And yet she had to buy new cans. Must have stuffed back then
I vote Jimmy Stewart
That uniform is no prop.
He really was a general.
Sexuality just dripped off both sexes back in the day. Young people actually work on not being attractive/attracted to the opposite sex now. My step grandson is 25, never had a girlfriend, does not date spends his time hunting. Know plenty of people who have male and female children in that age group who just are not interested in the opposite sex and it is not about being gay.
People were just better looking back in the day, must be the GMO poisoned food people eat now.
Oh yes,moms Mach 1……..not !,more like a Honda civic…….
