Saturday Night Fever!

Girl power! That's one topic that was hot in the 1970's and politics...and because of this, women were entitled to a lot more rights then they had been previously, which of course is great! And naturally, no one can forget that this was the era of disco and 'Saturday night Fever'! You can pick up a lot of great gift ideas...either for someone who's into their retro, or maybe for the parents, to remind them of their childhood and the 'good times' their always going on about!

One of the coolest and still most challenging toys from the time has got to be the Rubik's Cube! I still can't manage to work that thing out but I so badly want to! Maybe a good idea as an xmas pressy for someone who likes a challenge?

Ahh...some of the music that came out in the 70's was just classic! YMCA...need i say more?! However, this was also the decade of some amazing artists like Blondie, Led Zeppelin and Elton John who we still rock out to today. Pretty much any compilation from the 1970's will include these and a whole bunch more.

Fashion in the 70's was all about the disco look! Anything (or better yet, everything) neon was totally acceptable. Girlies...time to dig out your hot pants! Hot pants were essential clubbing wear for all young girls back then...but I'm not sure how many of us are brave enough to work the look nowadays? Hmm! Platforms were another 'must have' of the time...for both men and women! The motto here was, the higher the better! Comfort and height all in one...What more could you want from shoes? I think its time to bring the platforms back again, don't you?!
