Remember when the designer trend that reigned supreme on most 1980s prom queens were Gunne Sax prom dresses? We have lots of memories here!

Toys I Loved As A Child Using the Random Prompt Generator over at Daydreaming On Paper to give me the idea I would like to share with you some of my favourites from my childhood. Fisher Price Pull Along Dog This is one of my first loves!! He was made of wood and when you pulled him along his ears waggled. His stickers all became damaged (I recall I left him out in the rain) and so I took him to school where they helped me paint him brown and varnish him!! Fisher Price Treehouse OMG, I just LOVED this!! The top of the tree would shut down to hide the house and you had to press a button on top to get it to pop open. There was a slide from the kitchen to the bottom. When our boys were tiny I tried to get one on eBay for them but they were going for almost £100. My First Sindy - Ballerina Sindy Just looking at this picture makes me smile, mine was the brunette and I got her for Christmas when I was five. I loved her and went on to have many Sindys. You were either a Sindy girl or a Barbie girl and it was definitely Sindy for me. My sister had Barbie. Sindy's Horse Due to my "Horsey Love Gene" I naturally had to have a horse to go with my Sindy - mine was bay and my sisters was grey. I also had the stables; jumps; horsebox; carriage.... My Little Ponies In about 1984 My Little Ponies came out and I was desparate for one. I remember going to Debenhams in Nottingham and getting Minty my first My Little Pony. I had bout ten in the end including a baby and and a beauty salon for them!! Commadore Vic 20 Haha, look at that!! That was our first home computer. We got it for Christmas when I was about 11 or so. Dad was a computer programmer and he made a program that had Santa appear and ask Sarah and Samantha (my sis and I) if we had been good girls!! It had taken him about a month to write whilst we were in bed each night. The games came on cassettes and the graphics were extremely limited - we would play "Blitz" and a Dracula "adventure" role play game that was just words, no graphics at all!! We loved it!! Pooh Bear The toy I loved best was Pooh Bear - here he is on the left with me and my sister and her ted in about 1977. He wasn't a Winnie the Pooh but I called him Pooh Bear anyway. I was about 2-3 when I was given him and he wasn't new then. I adored him and he became very well loved. Over time he lost his legs; the stuffing out of half of one arm; had a hole in his chest which showed his straw filling and just one ear. When I was 19 my Dalmatian puppy ripped him to shreds whilst I was in the bath and I still miss him :0( Which toys did you love most?

Well, let's continue our look at the Big Book catalogs of the 70s with the second half of 1971 - the Fall / Winter editions. Check out this lineup. Yeah, it's awesome for those of us who appreciate those 70s Big Books!! Somehow these catalogs had a thing about models on the run (Penneys and Aldens). So we better get going.... Kathy and Karen can simply NOT decide whether to go mini or maxi here. The early 70s earth tones mated with the late 60s grooviness just bleeds through here! (1) More of the groovy early 70s! Dang! (1) A smiling Colleen with Kay in jeans! And not just any jeans but jeans with earth tone colors and bell bottoms! Colleen in some sort of knickers. Pretty "groovy-baby" stuff if you ask me!! Penney's had some fantastic 70s fashions also as seen here with Kathy. Once again, they can't decide on the skirt length. Ahh, yes, this was the era where the mini was starting to lose its status as the last word in skirt lengths (this was not a good thing by the way). Hey, this is supposed to be the Fall / Winter editions. What's going on here? It looks like spring. Still Kathy and Karen look great - with wigs or without!! Yeah Karen looks super cute here, but I had to include this pic for the hat - kinda a throwback to the 60s. I'm not sure they should be commenting on a girl's "wining number" when she is standing on a scale. It's one of those subjects that guys learn not to bring up - not at all, ever, EVER. I've always had a weakness for girls in curls, and here these gals are definitely bringing the curls along with some happening early 70s fashions from Spiegel. More knickers modeled by Colleen. It must have been a thing back then - a thing that apparently didn't catch on... Kathy and Kay with some sharp looking "pantsdressing" (is that even a real word??) from Aldens. (1) Nothing says "70s Party Scene" quite like pants suits from Aldens (especially the puffy sleeves version sported by Kathy). Okay, this scene is not quite what one thinks of when picturing the parties of the 70s. Still, it is pretty awesome if you ask me. (1) It certainly is interesting to look back on the early 70s and the changing fashion scene then. And what better way to reminisce than with the totally groovy, awesome Big Book catalogs! footnotes: (1) These pics are courtesy of Blue Senshi. Thanks!
