jt2003 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I remember my mom used to let me wear bell bottom jeans <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Welcome, pre. Noong 1970s, mayroon mga Levi's store na hindi mall-based (konti lang mall noon). Iba nga, neighborhood-based. Maliliit lang sila, pero full offering ng Levi's products, pati shirts and stuff. The other word for bell-bottoms was "flair." Kung tailored yung jeans or double-knit pants, some people preferred to have them cover their shoes entirely. Kakatawa tignan sa old photos. May style pa nga noon na tinatawag na "huggers." Very tight sa taas (hugging talaga), tapos biglang luluwag pag dating sa tuhod. Quote Link to comment
storm Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Welcome to the 70s nouse4aname! We used to go to Jun Jun Cambe for our pang typar pants kasi graduate din siya ng Notre kaya may discount. Favorite niyang foreign designer noon was Gianni Versace (hindi pa siya sikat noon). Lagi tuloy kaming ahead sa uso. Kaya nung 1975 ay tube pants na kami meaning maluwag sa hita at takip toga na platformed shoes at hindi na flair or bellbottoms. Ito yung tinawag na elephant pants later on. In Christmas 1977, we started wearing baggy pants, pleated matched with wingtips or oxford shoes na pasadya sa Wilson in Detroit, Cubao (sometimes two-toned pa) kung formal or loafers na jarman kasi ang mahal ng gucci kung semi-formal. Madalas akong maging escort noon sa mga proms at mga debut. Mabait daw kasi ako. Quote Link to comment

javameister Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hi to storm, jt2003 and bods1000! I didn't know this thread existed! It feels like the 36 and up room. I recall a great deal of the 70s which also happens to be the decade when I transitioned from childhood to young adult. I favored tie-dyed shirts and jeans with stars and stripes emblazoned on them, wore my hair really long and often went to school in a cannabic haze. This was in grade 7! High school was four years of overt and subtle rebellion and striving not to get caught even as I made good grades to the consternation of my teachers. Martial law holds a lot of memories for me and greatly shaped my political thinking long before I went to the university (State U Diliman, of course). Ironically, my family was Nacionalista and my late father was in the same fraternity as Marcos. I denied my legacy and outrightly refused to become an Upsilonian, horrified at the thought of regarding the dictator as a "brod". The stickiest part of the 70s in my mind was the music. No doubt about it. Quote Link to comment
storm Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Welcome to the 70s pareng Java. This thread feels like the boy's room of the 36 and up room. Pareng Sally, I'm glad you're home safe. Wala bang mararaket na murals or large painting commission jan sa Bangkok para makalibot naman jan? Pareng Payne mukhang trip mo ang late 70s. Pareng Mahabangpasensya naman ay ang early 70s dahil sa bellbottom. Pinakamaluwag na bellbottom ko noon ay 18 inches ang lapad ng laylayan noong 1975, pero nang 1978 ay balik straight cut na ako, gatsby look na. May fold pa sa laylayan. Matinding ampli na kamatch ng Technics noon ay Fischer. Tapos JBL or Altec Lansing or AR or Bose speakers. Early 70s nauso yung parang treasure chest ang mga stereo, either Sansui, Akai, National Panasonic (makers of Technics), or Marantz amplifiers with Teac or Akai open reel tape deck and garrard turntable.

One of the most memorable 70s (1972?) sporting events (although most US publications don't consider chess as a sport) was that Fischer-Spassky match-up for the world championship. Once it was over, there were books and pamphlets all around analyzing the games. One unforgettable pic was that of Fischer covering his face with both hands while waiting for Spassky's move.

Wala bang mararaket na murals or large painting commission jan sa Bangkok para makalibot naman jan? hey storm, how's it going? do you mean if someone wants to commission a painting? to be honest, i have no idea of what the art scene here is all about, although there are many galleries and artists. not that the thais are uncultured...i just think the art scene in manila is more vibrant. but i will keep my eyes and ears open for anyone wanting to know more about your talents. heh, heh, hayaan mo, if the book i'm writing ever gets published, ill commission you to come up with a design for the cover!
