If you were to describe a typical '70s outfit, you’d probably mention one of the standard hippie looks consisting of bell-bottoms, a turtle neck, and some modest peace-sign-shaped jewelry. This type of bohemian fashion was all the rage in the first part of the decade.
Birthed by the counter-culture movement that encouraged everyone to “stick it to the man” and celebrated personal freedom, the fashion was carefree and fluid. The mood was created with flowy peasant blouses, maxi dresses, ponchos, and capes. The hair was long and natural; afros were in style. Men were growing out sideburns and proudly wearing mutton chops.
Natural colors and floral patterns took over for a while, too. Inspired by the new environmental movement, it moved away from the outrageous colors of the ’60s. Burnt orange, dark yellow, deep purple, and olive green were common in clothing and interiors.

from reddit; That is actor Sandy van der Linden and his daughter Radha. The history of this photo and how the subjects were identified is interesting. The photographer, Toni Riera, was living in Paris when he was 18 years old and decided to visit Amsterdam. While smoking marijuana on the lawn of Vondelpark he took many pictures because at that time the park was full of curious characters. Twenty years later he went to Ibiza and was hired as the photographer for Ibiza's famous nightclub, Pacha. In the 1990s the photo of the unknown hippie dad with his daughter was chosen from the pictures at the park and used for a Pacha poster meant as an homage to the Ibiza of the 1960s. It became widely known as a symbol of the island's hippie past. In the early 2000s Radha was visiting the island for the first time, she entered Pacha to enjoy the famous Flower Power party and found herself face to face with an immense image of her and her father walking around Vondelpark.

When it came to interiors, wood and rattan, both of which reinforced the natural feel, were really popular. Many swapped the outdated wallpapers to wood paneling that gave a warm look to their rooms while rattan was used in furniture such as chairs and tables. It was all tied together with velvet that helped to balance it all out by adding luxurious coziness to the atmosphere.
The emphasis of coziness is really notable when you look at the furniture that was popular back then. Curvy, cushy sofas were loved by many, while papasan chairs, egg chairs, and beanbags became lounging staples. Sunken living room designs or so-called conversation pits were popular, too.

Brought about by the disco music, the disco look also emerged in the '70s. The fashionistas were not afraid of showing off the body with revealing tube tops and halter neck styles becoming popular all over. Sequins were the go-to material, allowing bodies to shine under the nightclub lights. Short shorts, form-fitting pants, or long dresses with high slits were popular amongst women while men often opted for three-piece suits inspired by Saturday Night Fever.

Not declawed, just trimmed back. Tippi would later go on to acknowledge how "incredibly stupid" it was to allow the lion free roam of the house(it would even sleep in the same bed as Melanie etc.). They were VERY fortunate that a tragedy didn't occur, and she really is a good advocate for big cat rescue... even if things started out less than ideal(remembering those WERE the 70's).

Swiss Photo Reporter Willy Spiller Captured The Grit Of The NYC Subway In The 70s
Mimi La Souris 2 years ago
imagine later, the blonde girl will tell these kids "your feet on the seat, young girl ! " :D
Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago (edited)
The grit is the condition of the subway cars. In the seventies they were filthy, and there was a lot of crime on the cars and on the platforms and stairs. Graffiti is one thing, but the other stuff, including bodily fluids, was disgusting. That pretty much was NYC in the seventies; crime, garbage, bodily fluids, needles, junkies, decrepit buildings, whole neighborhoods that looked like war zones. They had the subways cleaned up by the nineties to two thousands, then they took a dip again. Depends on funding, I suppose. If they stopped putting money into Times Square and Broadway, they would go back to the shape they were in back in the seventies. Just have a look at the movie Taxi Driver, or look up NYC in the seventies, and you’ll see both Times Square and Broadway were full of strip joints, peep shows, dirty movie theatres, hookers, pimps, drug dealers, junkies, and thieves. New York was a run down, tawdry place back then.

If you went high enough into the mountains, you could see the yellowish brown smog line. It was gross, and smelled worse. I remember smog days where we couldn’t have PE class outside, and children, old people, and people with asthma, etc were advised to stay indoors. You couldn’t see the downtown LA skyline for all the smog. Believe me, it is way cleaner now than it was. Thank goodness for the catalytic converter, and other smog-decreasing devices and legislation.
