Pink Day

Baby says, "Hey, watch where you're putting that hand, dude!"



The only item of apparel that doesn't completely suck is the belt buckle. The baby has the right idea being nude. The seventies was a horrible time to wear clothing! Trust me, I remember! :P

The seventies was a horrible time to wear clothing!

I think I am permanently scarred due to having gone through a horribly self-conscious adolescence 1969-1973. As a result, I now practically dress like a Plain Quaker.

Which probably means natural fibers only. I'm with you on that one. I HATE mad-made fibers!

Yes, omg--until 40s style and glam rock came into fashion, then it was kind of fun. But everyday, regular clothing--I mostly remember how there could never, ever, *ever* be enough deodorant. The miracle fabrics of the day just clung to odors like love-starved octopi.

Ugh, yes! I grew up in Texas and went to a private school that had 100% polyester uniforms! Oh, yeah, that was fun on a 95 degree day!

Polyester is still bad. My boys are going through puberty and it's bad enough keeping 100% cotton smelling good, but the few things they have that are artificial materials are so hard to deodorize. Spraying vinegar on the armpits before washing and adding baking soda to the wash helps a lot. I wish I (or my mom) had known that in the 70s!

WTF? Is that Pegasus or Baretta's cockatoo?

And we thought we looked good... I cringe whenever I see a picture of myself from those days...

Is it just me or does the guy look like Bryan Cranston?

It is not just you! I think he looks like Bryan Cranston with a horrible toupe. I considered saying that, but I thought everyone would say, "oh, he so does not look like Bryan Cranston!" I feel validated now. Thank you! :)

I agree with you both, that it looks like him. The best thing about this ad is the cute baby tushie.

Oh, and nothing like those polyester gym suits we had to wear in school.

I was reading Bryan Cranston's bio and it turns out his father, Joe Cranston, was an actor and producer. I found an episode of Highway Patrol with him in it, and if it's the guy I think it is, there is a strong resemblance, especially with their voices. Might Joe have done some modeling when the acting jobs dried up? According to IMBD, he would have been 56 in 1971 and this guy could be about that age. Bryan is 57 now and he looks pretty good!

I can't find a date of death for Joe who was born in 1915. If he's still alive, he'd be 98!

He kind of looks like the love child of Bryan Cranston and Mike Rowe.

I still think we need to make that 70's/80's bad fashion choices showdown a reality. Polyester vs. giant shoulder pads!

That would be fun!
