Johnny Virgil of 15 Minute Lunch has a very funny post about finding a 1977 J.C. Penney catalog. He shares some of the pages from that catalog and adds his own commentary.
The bell-bottoms, the stripes, the plaids, the pastels. Dear God, the humanity!

Jerry,
You act like you didn't ever wear those clothes!

.... yeah, what Nora said..... at least in 1977 my parents were still dressing ME so I had no say in the matter... but YOU?... you wore those things voluntarily!....

I remember wearing some of those western type shirts, wanting to look like John Denver I guess!

Morrigan and I just read that and laughed ourselves silly. The commentary is classic. 1977... yeah, I wore some of that crap voluntarily. Gah!

Hi Jerry, RYC: I have been a Great-Aunt for quite a while now. My sister has 6 grandkids! I am the baby of the family, and I'll probably be the last one to be a grandparent. That's ok, it makes me always feel young!

I'm SO glad you stopped by to see Rachel again!!
I enjoyed her post about it.
