The Girls Would Turn the Colour of an Avocado...

At some point in the 70's, between the oversized florals and the foiled bamboo, there was a fashion for wallpaper in a similar print to my jacket.

The colours would have been in the same range as well. Avocado. The best rhyme ever for avocado is El Dorado:

So yeah, I'm dressed like 70's wallpaper and kitchen appliances. I tried to echo no-wax linoleum with my bangles, but I don't think I'm quite there.

Outfit Particulars:

70's polyester jacket-Thrift World .98 cents
Green dress-Sears, about 8 years ago
Seashell pin-Hand-Me-Ups
Earrings-K Mart
Bangles-all over the place

I think Pablo Picasso probably did get called, "asshole" even in New York. Here's the studio recording:

Curtise said...: You see, SOME people might think that being dressed like 1970s wallpaper and kitchen appliances always a bad thing. Those of us assembled here know differently. Love the frock and bangles, takes me back to our old avocado bathroom suite. In a good way, of course! xxx; 4:14 PM

Propagatrix said...: Dammit, I JUST got this song out of my head and now you have put it back in.; 7:40 AM
Goody said...: @ propagatrix

Sorry! I mean, what are the odds of anyone (except you) knowing the song?

BTW, do you have a blog, or tumblr or someplace I can come over and bother you? Your profile doesn't show anything, and I'm starting to wonder if we were separated at birth siblings or something. Anyway, if you have a spot, let me know, and I'll link you.; 4:25 PM
Propagatrix said...: How very sweet! I'm not really doing anything blog-wise right now, but as summer is approaching I will soon be reviving my "Stupidity on the Bus" blog. This is a compilation of dumb tings I overhear on public transit, and summertime is Prime Stupidity Season because all the UC-Berkeley students go back and forth to San Francisco for jobs/internships and say the dumbest things en route. Will keep you advised of Grand Reopening!; 6:35 AM
