That reminds me of about 1971 when maxis were popular and the principal of our junior high tried to ban them, saying they were a fire hazard. Maxis were fun! They could have a bit of a sexy drape and didn’t have to billow out all over the place. Some of that slinky 70's fabric was super-sexy no matter how long it…

This dress right here, from 1973, was ruffly and ginghamy and as body-conscious as you could get:
As she did, in Cold Mountain (also Renee Zellweger in Cold Mountain and also see Jewel in Ride with the Devil)

The reason the FLDS of that particular group dress and wear their hair the way they do is because their (jailed) prophet, Warren Jeffs, dictates it. Every detail of it, from what I understand.
Anyone remember the smock tops of about 1973? Oh man...men HATED those. I heard the big boss where I worked yelling at my boss, “And if anyone comes in in one of those pregnant tops, send her home!”
That was totally the point of the midi...wanna ogle me? Nice try Buster!
Yes, and that made the headlines for sure. His victims were Filipina. If anyone thinks they received less attention because they weren’t white, I think that is incorrect. I remember the headlines about six inches high when that happened.
If it helps any, the way I always heard this scary-story was a male victim and it was his arm hanging from the ceiling....
Yeah remember the dude who committed suicide after being suspected of the Anthrax attacks? Bruce Ivins? He was doing sort of the same thing...stalking a particular sorority.
The stigma against using the word “girls” to refer to college-aged women hadn’t quite hit the mainstream yet by 1978. There was a call to use words like “chairperson” rather than “chairman,” but it wasn’t yet frowned upon that much to use the word “girls” as far as college-aged women. I was majoring in linguistics at…
I was in college when both Ted Bundy and the Hillside Strangler were active. The Hillside Strangler actually got more attention at the time, because the call went out to start wearing shoes you could run away fast in, rather than the wooden platform heels that were popular at the time.
I have always remembered the…

We all know that the danger in sending one with face in it is that it can be posted and sent elsewhere.
“Vivacious” is a compliment guys sometimes use, and that quality can apparently go a long way toward enhancing someone’s desirability. I’m the biggest dud on the planet, so I don’t have this quality, but I’m guessing it’s her adventurousness (she flies planes and owns a plane company, apparently) that trips his…
We all know they are lust-inspired. Our kingdoms for a guy (these days) willing to put a little finesse into it.
They didn’t learn their lesson with Peter Thiel, apparently.
I was the babysitter in charge of infants before I was ten. Way back in the old days. I am not sure how old I was before I was in charge at night for a full parents’ night out, but I distinctly remember babysitting infants for a few hours in the daytime before I was ten. I was shocked the first time I was asked to…
When I was little, adults had dinner parties all the time at each others’ houses and the kids played until they got sleepy and went to bed until the parents carried them, half asleep, to the car. The kids were expected to play together in the back room and leave the adults alone. But nowadays, many families eschew…
