Category Archives: Blast From The Past

Valerie Harper played the famous “window dresser” in her spin off series. She was one of my idols and I loved her chic hippie new york 70’s style. Her headbands and caftans gave her a warm and friendly vibe. This DVD of the 2nd season is coming out this month and I can’t wait. It is supposed to be better quality and uncut versions of her amazing show. Val is also making a comeback on Broadway in the show LOOPED. All hands together for VAL.

Duran Duran galore. I recently had a amazing flashback to the images of artist Patrick Nagel. During the 80’s his images and posters were all over the place. Girls on Film…. All the girls wanted to look as air brushed as Nagel’s girls. Today all the young girls want to be a Nagel girl. Wonder like a wolf into Nagel’s world.

I think we all feel this sometimes: Stop the World I Want To Get Off. This obscure 1962 musical staring Anthony Newley reminded me of growing up and staring at this picture of the world. The title alone and the clever picture brings back memories of curiosity to explore.

Hearing this music for the first time was “more than a feeling”. It was like a new sensation. Being in my room and hearing this music as a teenager made me feel all new. I could not classify it or describe the crisp production and spacey sounds. Was this new wave or just new?? Where were the look, all I saw was a guitar in space. This band had no image and why the name Boston??  It was a mystery, but I loved it!!

Ground control to the Great Gazoo. Seeing this image recently made me remember this funny little martian. I decided to start a new section called Blast from the Past, literally a BLAST. Who remembers The Flintstones? Who knew the voice of the zany character was Harvey Korman. I always loved when this original “mini-me” popped on to the screen. Talk about going green.
