I'm not sure if I will watch Idol or Lost/Alias. I know everyone will be talking about Lost tomorrow. And that most of the Idol show will be filler. But I find I need to concentrate a lot more on the ABC shows! So I guess I'll see what I feel like tonight.

I just checked the ratings for last night, and I was surprised to find that the Romber wedding finished second in its timeslot for both hours it was broadcast. It didn't have blockbuster ratings, didn't quite match the ratings for a regular episode of THE AMAZING RACE, for example, but it did far more respectably than I would have ever thought.

It averaged a 6.8 rating/10 share finishing well behind HOUSE at 9 p.m. and LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT at 10, but it still trumped everything else broadcast during those two hours including the last hour of THE CONTENDER and the Donald Trump made-forTV biopic on ABC.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the two of them fronting reality-based shows on either CBS or some cable channels in the future with ratings like that. Obviously, there are plenty of people interested in them.

I suppose it's too late to request BK bring back a piece of Joe Allen coconut cream pie...God, it was so good when they were out here.

It probably would have been confiscated at the airport, under the heading of "dangerous substances," never to be seen again without a security guard hovering over it armed with a fork.

I don't have MR BK's flight number so I can't track him.

Yes, oh yes, the 1970's - starting with bell bottoms and going through leisure suits to end with the DISCO look. Yes, fashion was never uglier. And we all thought we looked so nice and hip.

Whew!

In the movie FUNNY GIRL, which I like - but anyway, did Barbra wear her hair in the awful 1960's style on the stage?

PLACK! PLACQUE!

I shall now be on my way to the airport and then back to the home environment.

Did you hear the one about the dental assistant who was so proud of her placque placque?

Saddle Shoes (see the top of the screen-well forget that, now they are gone, I guess cause I mentioned them)! I know we're not supposed to mention certain things here, but I still have a pair of saddle shoes. I never wore them as a child nor during my "fashion challenged" periods but I do have a pair which I wear sometimes during the summer months when I put on my grey slacks (the shoes are black and white). They complement the slacks very well.

And starting next week, I can wear my white bucks. But only until Labor Day, of course.

They look quite fetching with my seersucker pants. And sometimes even with a pair of jeans.

At the risk of mortification - but in the interest of encouraging more of the same (DR CP has taken the lead, and I will follow).

I post here a photograph of me in a sedate moment from 1977. No real excess here with the exception of the braided seam on the pants and the knit tie....and the glasses....and what was - even then - left of my hair.

YOUR TURNS, DR's. A picture is WORTH a thousand words, or more.

Great marathon photos, dr JOEY. Congratulations.

I see TOMovOZ is posting! Hurray!

Yes, DRSTUART, seersucker is a great summer look. It will NEVER be out of style - particularly in Florida at the buffet.

I agree! Dropping several Jule Styne songs was ridiculous, and I loathed the SWAN LAKE parody; in 1916 or so, ballet was not so popular, and Private Schwartz sets it square in WWI.

That Funny Girl was released in 1968 didn't do the Private Schwartz number any favors, since that was the height of the Viet Nam war and anything resembling pro-military would have been frowned upon. See, even back then Barbs was too politically correct for her own good!

$:-\$

Yes, photos would enhance our TOD quite a lot! LOL!

Nice glasses JRand54.

I am sure I can come up with a photo of two once I get home tonight....but be afraid.

Here's a question: how do you wash a dirty umbrella?

S. Woody White · « **Reply #72 on:** May 25, 2005, 10:06:12 AM »

I, too, was a fashion disaster back in the late '70s, but for a totally different reason.

Up through college, my mother was still picking out my clothes for me. After that, I couldn't really afford to get new clothes, so I kept wearing what I had. I was so un-stylish that there were lesbians who wanted to take me shopping for a makeover.

No, really. That's the sort of think you cannot make up.

Fortunately, by the time I could afford to buy my own clothes, my sense of fashion had gone off in it's own direction. I tend to wear the same simple clothes year in year out, nothing pretentious, just classic lines.

Der Brucer, on the other hand, did succumb to the disco era clothing. He used to own several leisure suits, with the attendant shirts and shoes. He still had them when we met, although he wasn't so brave as to wear them any more. They were hanging in storage bags in the garage, on the chance that they might come back in style some day.

So far, we've been lucky and they haven't. We left them all in Long Beach when we moved, anyway. A good thing, too; if we'd brought them with us we'd have been arrested for crimes against nature in some of the states we drove through.

1986 Six million Americans participate in ‘Hand Across America’ by holding hands and singing across 4,150 miles of road in support of the hungry and homeless.

Believe it or not, it was just nineteen years ago today, in 1986, that "Hands Across America" was held.

Six million Americans held hands in a chain crossing the continental United States, in support of the hungry and homeless. They sang, too.

Of course, some of that handholding was more symbolic than actual. With 4,150 miles to cross, there were stretches where the participants were separated by several yards. Just getting people to these sparse areas took a lot of doing (and cost a lot). Also, in crossing the deserts, there was a problem with the heat.

I'm pretty sure any idea of making this an annual event was quickly dropped.

Okay, the shower bit might do the trick (though it might mean a spell of bad luck to open it up in the house.)

TOD

I actually quite liked the bellbottomed look it it was done properly, you know the ones that were tight from the waist to the knee and then gradually got to the width of your foot at the hem, so you could wear them with your 5 inch heels (which would be completely covered of course and the hems must barely brush the ground!!) and make your legs look terribly long.....

Of course I remember the 70's fondly as I was still sporting a fulling funtional thyroid gland and my weight never went over 105 lbs, I had blonde hair that reached my waist and I hadn't yet succumbed to the eye issues that terminated my use of contacts

DR SWW - clothing such as you described should always be donated the local community theatre group - if it has its own building - because sooner or later someone will need them for a show!

Well, I slept until 12:30 just because I could. I probably shouldn't have, but I did.

Too late, it all got left behind over a year ago.
