70 Style Clothing
Filed under 70s clothesI think we should have a 70 style clothing day. Think about it. Kids in school do things like that to have fun and it is usually pretty amusing (even the older kids like it). I know it sounds silly to have a 70s day, but it could be one in a series of special, one day theme holidays.
I don't even turn on the news anymore because all you hear is economic gloom and doom. Declaring a 70s style clothing day could be a fun distraction and might actually stimulate the economy a bit as people looked for the old fashions in unorthodox places! Wouldn't it be great to see the anchors on all of the nightly news shows donning 70's fashions?
We could make it really fun. Politicians in every town could drive around with our tax break money and give a dollar to everyone dressed like a hippie or a disco queen on the special day! President Obama said he wanted to "spread it around", didn't he? Once you received your dollar, your hand would be stamped with a special seal and you could get a free chunk of government cheese or something. Remember eating that in the 80's? Good stuff. Really.
Why stop at 70 Style Clothing Day though? We could come up with new incentives (or just do it for fun) and have dress like an 80's Prep Day and then prepare for 90's Seattle Grunge Eve!
Maybe we could even have competitions between towns and cities. Instead of having professional sports teams wear those ugly throwback uniforms, they could face off wearing bell bottom jeans and tie dyed t-shirts (just on the special day though; they get paid enough to dress decently). I'm a Pirates fan, so what have I got to lose?
Personally, I think it would be kind of cool to see the dress up day for the early part of last century. Everyone in the country walking around in vintage fashions would be pretty neat to see. I always have a hard time imagining what the country looked like back then in color. That must be a condition of growing up watching re-runs in black and white. Even when I see the rare color film footage on the History channel, it freaks me out a bit. The 1940's and earlier were in black and white as far as the pictures in my mind are concerned. Why not raid the vintage stores and attics of the country and let us re-live our country's history a bit?
I apologize for this random bit of silliness. Every once in a while, I drink too much coffee and my mind starts zipping around outside the box. I think I'm OK now. But I'd still like to see a day devoted to 70 Style Clothing.
