Freaky Friday - Sister to Sister

A rinse, set and a song with the Clark Sisters.
Feel the beat.

 You be Bluegrass, I'll be Country.

 Somethings missing here - eyebrows?

Coralie finally said - "Jackie, where are we?"

The Polly Sisters - still looking for the other 98 Luft Ballons.

Happy Friday!

Freaky Friday - Tight Pants

Tighter the better.

 Marty - hotter than earth's core in this ensemble. 

Special mention for the belt.

 I don't normally dig leather and chains, but there are exceptions to every rule.

Billy (far right) couldn't find a bag, but he packed snacks for the band anyway.

Happy Friday!

1970s Photography - Flip Schulke Part 2

Photographer Flip Schulke documented everyday life in the Florida Keys and New Ulm, Minnesota during the 1970s for the Documerica project. While University teaching, Flip recruited several of his students to photograph New Elm and supplement his own photographs. Here are a few of my favourites with their original captions from Flip's set on Flickr.

The last photograph is probably one of my favourite photos I have ever featured here on the blog.
Kids hanging out on a summers day with no where to be, just shooting the breeze.
 Reminds me of humid, summer afternoons and nights spent with friends out the front of my house as a kid, when the only things we had to worry about were the mosquitoes and heading home before dark.

Freaky Friday - Fitness Fun

Time for some fitness fun with Sneki and friends.

First up - Soccer!

"I vill play Goal Keeper and distract zem wiv my oversized man hands and long lunges"

Aerobics and Jazz hands!!

 Ron and the Dutch version of Lionel's exercise classic.
Straighten your legs Ron - gheesh!

 Carol giving it everything she's got, and then some...

Now that is a straight leg Ron!

Aerobics with a side of Polka.
Couldn't resist and youtubed Polkarobics and found a Polkacise clip. It's a comedy sketch
(I think - I hope!) but it's Polkacise all the same. Please click HERE if you fancy a viewing. : )

My kind of exercise - the kind where I don't really have to move.

Nah, scrap that. Too much going on here.

 Is that a real child?! Looks like a CPR training doll for First Aid courses.
Not coping with this one.

And to finish, a warm down and stretch with Debbie in front of the credenza.

I have been abit absent in the blogging world of late - both posting and visiting.
Aiming to recitfy that in the coming weeks before the year is over.

Happy Friday!

Freaky Friday - Vintage Ads Part 2

Following on from Part 1 a few weeks back, I give you a fresh selection of ads 

that had me leaning into the computer screen thinking - "Man, that can't be right!"

Could be handy with the festive season fast approaching.

This dude would be kicked out of bed long before he slipped those ear muffs on.

 Huh?

 Two ads in one. Don't cut off your corns!

(I want a monkey. Does he have a little top on???)

The Turtlesuit - sexy just got a new name.

Happy Friday!!

Freaky Friday - Girls! Girls! Girls!

 "Waiter! There's a lady in my lamp!"

Poor Polly - we've all been there.

Kaye - Wrestling with the Dark Side of the force.

This album cover reminds me of the laughing/crying lady scene at the party
from Breakfast at Tiffany's. (You can watch the short clip here if you fancy!)

Carol Brady after a few wines.

Vera doesn't need her Walkman headphones - speakers are built into her sleeves.

Slip on the bubble kittens - it's time for some jazz!

Happy Friday!
