Supervixens (1975)

Christy Hartberg as SuperLorna in Russ Meyer's SUPERVIXENS! They sure don't make them like they used to!

From this fellow's great Flickr stream thing

Converse and three ring socks combination (1974)

THIS is how a baller rolls!

Wilt Chamberlain for Spalding (1974)

Ad copy reads:
"Full color posters of Rick Barry, Pistol Pete or Wilt himself. To get yours, buy a Spalding Autograph basketball, clip the Spalding name off the box and mail it to the address below with $2. (Each poster is a $5 value!) Every Autograph ball has Spalding's durable rubber cover for a longer lasting bounce and a more natural tacky feel than any vinyl basketball made. That's what Rick, Pete and Wilt think. Or they wouldn't put their names on them."

Grabbed not only for the classic Golden State Warriors uniform complete with matching wristbands, but also the incredible deshiki looking shirt and sansa belt slacks wilt is rocking. It almost looked like he was giving Rick Barry the finger rather than pointing at hist armpit.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for Lee jeans brand floppy denim hats (1975)

From Sports Illustrated 1975. This back when Kareem played for the Milwaukee Bucks. This was considered a cool look only by soon-to-be bald giants and the cast of What's Happenin'. This fresh and ultra 70s Kareem in action shot accompanied the article. The Bucks really should bring back this colorway and script print. They can hold off on the religion-revealing short shorts.

Dorothy Stratten and Hugh Hefner

from A Man out of Time

These two seem to keep finding me lately. Something about a girl in striped kneehighs, man.

Playboy's Roller-Disco and Pajama Party (1979)

"In November 1979, Richard Dawson hosted The Playboy Roller Disco and Pajama Party (sic) on ABC With musical entertainment provided by Chuck Mangione and the Village People, most of the activity focused on Hefner and several dozen skimplily clad Playmates roller skating to disco music on the tennis courts, dancing in the mansion's great hall, and lounging by the swimming pool and grotto." - from Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream.

grabbed from some YouTube video. Is that Dorothy Stratten in the final shot? She is not listed as appearing in this on IMDB. Hmm, maybe it's not her, but she was PMOY in 1980. PS. Star 80 is awesome- Eric Roberts' best work.

You may also know Chuck Mangione from his appearances on King of the Hill.

Margot Kidder is....sexy? (1978)

I never thought of Margot Kidder as sexy, but daaaaaammn, Lois! Come for the nips, stay for the badass Blues Brothers t-shirt!

Levi's commercial with Ken Nordine (1970)

Cool animated commercial with voice over talent provided by Ken Nordine!

Gladys Knight and the Pips are not afraid to mix plaids and patterns (1974)

Grabbed from Ebony Jr. magazine, 1974

Major League Superstripes baseball caps (1978)

Grabbed from some advertising book. Apparently the message is that you should wear these hats to casual Friday at a Midwestern accounting firm. I always wanted one of these hats in the White Sox version of course. The gentleman modeling the Sox example above looks like Venus from WKRP in Cincinnatti.

Who the fuck is Mick Jagger? t-shirt (1975)

Mick Jagger leans on his stylist Pierre Laroche during their American tour in 1975. They kicked off their tour in New York City by performing "Brown Sugar" on a flatbed driven down Broadway, and their stage props included a giant phallus.

i hate Wings and Paul McCartney, but this photo rules (1976)

I love the Beatles, but all of their solo stuff blows except for a few solo Lennon songs. I grabbed the photo from some LiveJournal group somewhere.
Ebay seller Vintage Closet has a similar shirt for sale.

Karen Allen in National Lampoon Black Sox t-shirt (1977)

I have had a huge crush on Karen Allen since her turn as Marion in Raiders of the Lost Ark, since I was too young to see Animal House or The Wanderers before that. She just has that too-smart-and-funny-for-you but still devoted girlfriend quality about her, ya know? She especially gets me in Scrooged as well (not such much Starman, which is frigging awful).

Enlarge this cute ad to see more of what I mean. I'd LOVE that shirt in an XL!

Gayle Sayers and Billy Dee Williams on the set of "Brian's Song" (1971)

it seems that something gets in my eye every time I watch this classic.

Gayle Sayers is one of the all time greats on and off the field.

Pendleton ad (1974)

Jeez, is this artwork Seventies enough for you? The sort of monochromatic plaid with fake fur collar jacket reminds me of Archie Bunker and every Polish grandfather in Chicago.

Pendleton is still pretty right on in my book. I love their flannel shirts and hunting jackets. I still have my heart set on an old school Pendleton blanket from before WWII.

Evel Knievel for Chuckles brand candy (1974)

"Diamonds, not to mention sponsor's decals, are a boy's best friend"

those were different times- the Philadelphia Fillies (1971)

from the same April 19, 1971 Sports Illustrated article:

"Throughout the game considerable fan reaction was focused on the usherettes, known as the Fillies. There were 140 of them, recruited from 432 applicants after being advised by letter to wear "your shortest skirt and tightest blouse" to the interviews. The 35 Fillies officially designated as best looking were called, collectively, the Hot Pants Patrol and were attired in red hot pants. in 48 degree inauguration-day weather they were also fitted out in blue cold legs."

Sorry about the terrible screen grab. Any more info about the Fillies would be appreciated, as I am an afficiando of gams, hot pants, and go-go boots.

Red socks for the Chicago White Sox (1971)

From April 19, 1971 issue of Sports Illustrated.

I dig the red and of course LOVE the stirrups!

Debbie Harry - vintage t-shirt icon

Barry Manilow loves beagles

Just so you know.
Christ, the Seventies sucked.
