While perusing Ebay vintage patterns, this one popped out at me. I mean really POPPED out at me! Wow! Hotpants! I remember them well and all the hullabloo they caused among some (my Mom for one). No, I never had a pair, but some of my friends did and wore them while feeling pretty smug. Panty hose, heels and HOTPANTS--pretty much like the full length model photo on this pattern envelope photo. As I recall, some were wearing them to work--in an office. Wow! Not sure how long that lasted in some offices.
Then, my memory bank started to rewind, and first off, I thought about the Southwest Airline Attendants. Yes our own Southwest born here in the metroplex.
And I can't leave out the Cowboy Cheerleaders. Their uniforms have changed little over the years.
Remember Twiggy?
And, of course, Raquel......what a sex symbol of her day!
I almost didn't recognize this lady.........Olivia Newton John.







Elton! yeah, he rocked those pants.
ReplyDeleteOh Linda! I just saw this post! I, too, got flashbacks. I didn'y wear them either, being a good Catholic girl, but I remember the shock they produced. I loved Twiggy and Olivia !
