FABULOUS DISCOVERY! 1970'S GUNNE SAX PRAIRIE-STYLE FORMAL DRESS
What a great find! It’s always worth investigating; you just never know what evidence might be uncovered. A beautiful Gunne Sax gown, designed by Jessica San Francisco. Robin’s egg blue for Spring.
This frock was worn, probably once, to a formal event or, possibly, to a wedding. In the 1970’s, Prom and wedding-party dresses for young women often looked like this. Gunne Sax was a favorite label…

The Leicester Square Theatre In Photos.
Odeon cinema building was completed in 1937 by Sir Robert McAlpine according to the designs of Harry Weedon and Andrew Mather. It was built on a site that previously held Turkish baths and a large music hall from the 1850s called the Alhambra Theatre. The land cost £550,000, and the cinema itself was built in seven months for £232,755. It had 2,116 seats. The grand opening was on Tuesday,…

Captain Beyond - Montreux - 1971 - Past Daily Morning Soundbooth
Goes nicely with a double espresso:
https://pastdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/captain-beyond-live-at-montreux-sept-18-1971.mp3
We take requests – and this is one of them. Captain Beyond were one of those bands that had all the earmarks of being a household name, but for whatever reason; timing and a reasonably ill-prepared record label, they suffered a goodly amount of undeserved overlook…

Why Did the Ford Mustang II Fail?
The Ford Mustang II was introduced in 1974 during a challenging automotive era marked by oil shortages and fuel efficiency concerns. In response, Ford downsized the Mustang, moving away from the larger, more powerful models of the early 1970s. This shift, however, didn’t resonate well with enthusiasts who associated the Mustang with a performance-oriented, muscular image.
The Mustang II was…

Americana: GI Joes, Tonka Trucks, Marbles and Hotwheels
Growing up in the 1960’s and 70’s we played with 12 inch GI joes, Big Jim, Hot Wheels, Tonka Trucks and even sticks. Give me a set of hot wheels or Tonka trucks and a dirt pile and I would play for hours. When I see kids playing with them it makes me smile and think back on easier times when I was a kid and just liked to play with toys. Some toys never go out of style and the ones listed above…

1970's Crimplene Flower Power Shift Dress
What an amazing job by Sallyanne. With just one yard of vintage 1970s crimplene fabric and using one of her grandmothers 1960s patterns, she has made this iconic shift dress, fully lined with lace edging too. It is so satisfying to see the fabric I have unearthed being put to such good use.

Drowning Cats
There wasn’t anything out of the ordinary on this typical night, but I have to ponder what prompted this type of dream.
First, I saw some type of a white hand bason filled with water, I saw a pair of hands wearing white surgical gloves put a ginger and white cat into the bason and submerged the struggling cat into the water until it drowned.
Then the pair of hands took another cat, this one a…

Christmas Telly
The Christmas Radio Times is out and I’m thinking of braving a walk into town, in Artic conditions, to buy one.
For those of you that don’t know, The Radio Times is a TV listing magazine (other titles are available- more on that later). Somewhat redundant in the era of on-demand streaming and the listings there on the screen, the Radio Times is still a tradition I like to keep.

For Bloody Sake . . .
Screenshot
Sage advice from Mr. Plant.
May I suggest my favorite LZ song?
From the 1975, double-studio album, Physical Graffiti. My recollection was that the album was released during my college years, (1978-1982) and I was surprised to read it was February of 1975.

Why Did the Chevy Vega Fail?
The Chevrolet Vega, introduced in the early 1970s, struggled due to a variety of factors. One major issue was the aluminum engine, prone to overheating and premature wear. Quality control problems during manufacturing further compounded reliability issues.
Additionally, the Vega faced intense competition from Japanese imports, which offered better fuel efficiency and build quality. Rust became a…
