A look into the recent past..

Post by HTRN »

Came across an interesting Flicker account - Retrospace - consisting of personal photos, old magazine covers, adverstisements, publicity shots, and pages out of catalogs, from the late 60s to the early 80s.

Some of them are mildly amusing(there's a B&W photo in the first 3 or 4 pages of a stereotypical nerd, and caused me to think of all sorts of memes: Pimp hand, Disregard females, etc :lol: )
Some can almost be happening today, if just a little dated.
Some gave a glimpse of "the future"(there's a picture of a home theater in the 1970s)
and some, well some make one immediately think "WHAT THE F&CK WERE THEY THINKING?!" - various clothes, and certain items(like the carpet knife being marketed to cut womens clothes off :shock:) mostly.

Be warned, there is a fair bit that's NSFW.
HTRN, I would tell you that you are an evil fucker, but you probably get that a lot ~ Netpackrat

Describing what HTRN does as "antics" is like describing the wreck of the Titanic as "a minor boating incident" ~ First Shirt
