Good Lord! I remember mid70s Youth Group discos! That strobe lighting, and the disco mirror ball thing! And the no alcohol thing, coz it was church... except the stuff we smuggled in, usually vodka!
Oh, I was 24 then but already married to the same lovely man I married at age 20. I was a nurse in the ER, 3p-11p shift and had a wonderful group of nurses and doctors to work with. DH was also working 3p-11p so we went home and watched The Late Show on TV or stopped at an all night diner. Yum!
Just out of college——era of sex, drugs and rock and roll. We had the pill, any disease you got from sex was easily cured, and the highly addictive drugs weren’t as prevalent (or we could afford them) and the rock and roll was just F-ing amazing.
When my daughter had a 70s day at school I brought out my white 'John Travolta' three piece trouser suit from the mothballs for her to wear. 'I'm not wearing THAT!' was the cry.
Shame it wasn't a 1960's disco. You could have told the kids all about that decade dressed in your old platform heels, bell bottoms, kaftan and John Lennon glasses.
I Find it a bit scary when our pub has 80s themed evenings. Seems like yesterday to me. When I was young there were 1920s themed parties with flappers etc. My Aunts remembered it well.
How great your small village has fun things for the young folk to do. Seems to me there is not much of that here and I get the impression that teens are too jaded to participate anyway. But what does this old lady know. My children are grown so I have no way to keep up.
I loved the 70's I was 10 in 1972 and left school in 1976... I wrote to Donny Osmond and told him I loved him lol ...it was fantastic except the time I was told by my mum to be home by 10 and was at a disco and it was 1030 and my Dad (who was 6ft 4 and weighed about 16 stone) walked into the middle of the dance floor where I was doing my thang and said in a very loud voice... Oi you.. HOME... my god I couldn't leave quick enough!!!
1975 was a very good year!
ReplyDeleteI'd check the ID of that disco-er there at the bottom before I'd serve her. She may be underage.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteDISCO MADNESS! Nice pornstache on the kid with the aviator glasses, LOL.
ReplyDeleteLONG LIVE DISCO!
ReplyDeleteNow, this is party I want to be invited to. Where's my roller skates?
ReplyDeleteXOX
Ah, I remember it well!

ReplyDeleteSomehow, we missed disco...
Hugs!
My favourite decade was the 70s. Sigh. Disco, Bee Gees, The Bump, platform sandals, stovepipe pants, India cotton everything . . .
ReplyDeleteI bet the kids had fun even without all those memories :)
And you didn't go?
ReplyDeleteI'd have liked you have seen you in 'loon pants' - or maybe you were still in short trousers back then?

ReplyDeleteFabulous, I was twelve !

ReplyDeleteI try to forget the 70s.

ReplyDeleteThose were the days. I used to dance all the time. Nowadays if I ever get the urge to dance someone will say it's a bit embarrassing "at my age".
ReplyDeleteLooks more like the 80's to me! Glad to see no one dressed up as Jimmy Saville or Gary Glitter.
ReplyDelete... and you weren't there in your flares and platform shoes!!
ReplyDeleteLOL -- I lived through the '70s and I don't remember them looking quite like that! Still, all in fun, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteOh my god. That's me in the sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun event and reminds me of some of the best days of my life.

ReplyDeleteI was 11 in 1975 and have some very happy memories of that decade, one of my favourite decades.
