I slept with Tony Defranco's album cover under my pillow...15 years later stalked him at out County Fair and he was STILL cute! HR Puffinstuf and Jack Wild were my all time favs, oooh and the Bugaloos!!! as well as keith Partridge...I own a boutique and most of the music I play is from the 70's....TWO Partridge Family cds, the Fifth Dimension, Monkees and Blood Sweat and Tears...GREAT stuff!! Loved Liddle Kiddles, Upsy Downsy dolls, Easy Bake....pretty much anything pink and plastic from Mattel...
Dark Shadows you say?? Im suuuch a dork, that i bought a bunch of the dvds and re watched them from the beginning...then sold them on ebay for what I paid....wow....now THAT was a step back in time!!
Peace Baaaaby!!

Two Osmond Brothers concerts for me. Thankfully my older sister was a David Cassidy and Merrill Osmond fan, so we didn't have to compete for Donny's affection.

"Here Come the Brides" - Sis was unto David Soul, so I had Bobby Sherman to myself, too. "Monkeys" reruns - Davy Jones was too short for both of us, so Sis liked Mike and I took Mickey. I think I got the better half of all those deals.

Best toy ever was my "Velvet" doll. She was the schmidt, you could make her hair as long or as short as you wanted.

ohhh I loooved Velvet!! much cooler than Chrissy!! My first concert when I was in High School was a thing we had in Lodi called Day On the Grape....a take off of San Francisco' popular Day on the Green concerts...It was a bunch of acts, but the most famous was Nick Gilder, who sang Hot Child in the City, and many other memorable dittys...hehe...I jsut couldnt beeeelive that a guy famous on the radio was in our lil town!! My first condert ever tho was the Carpenters in Lake Tahoe...I was a huge Carpenters fan, and took up drums in jr high after seeing that....I quit tho, since they were teaching the marching band kinda drums and not the cool ones that Karen was playing

Oh, and whenever I think back on my childhood summers in the '70's I always hear John Denver singing in the background. Sweetest music ever.

Did you guys ever watch Sunshine? I loved that movie. Though I always thought Kate (was that her name?) was dumb not to just get her leg amputated. A far better deal for her daughter to have a mom who'd have only one leg than no mom at all...

Julie, I don't remember ever seeing the movie. I do remember, though, the day my girlfriends and I congregated at one house and took turns psycho-dialing the radio station until the dj played "One Bad Apple." Poor guy is still probably traumatized - we were relentless.

I just watched a John Denver concert on PBS last night! Sang Sunshine and my wedding song "Annie's Song". I said when I heard it in high school that it would be sung at my wedding one day.

I went to many Days on the Green in Oakland. That was the way to go to a concert back in the 70's.

I am green with envy, Pamy. I wore out my Velvet doll in no time and she's long gone. I forgot about the evil twin Chrissy doll!! I suspect she is the Chuckie of your collection, terrorizing all the other dolls in the middle of the night.

Lori, it is the link to dif Velvet doll.

GAL! LOLChrissy came out first and she is my most beloved, Velvet was her younger sister.

Mamie, yes! that's the name of it!! She did another one where she hooked up with an older guy.

I think Eve's were teen runaway/drug ones

I wonder why they dont make those kinds of movies anymore, they really scared me straight!!!

I cant believe that Velvet is only 12.00 on ebay..I would have thought it would be way more valuable....my doll collection value has really hit the crapper!!!!!! Even my Mackies are only worth 100-500 and they used to be up to 900 ea!

Mine was the different Velvet doll, too, with the purple dress. Pamy, you can't change my opinion of the Chrissy doll (sniff). She was the devil's work and I wanted nothing to do with her. (PS Mrs. Beasley always creeped me out, too.)

I had both the Velvet and Chrissy dolls, too. I also had the African American Chrissy doll. She was one of the first mainstream dolls that we were able to find in an African American version. I also had the different Velvet doll with the purple dress.

Lady, what's really weird is I was never into dolls, especially after Sis kicked the "Baby Go Bye-Bye" toy in the middle of Christmas Eve night and we were totally busted by my Dad for snooping before everyone got up Christmas morning (that freaking thing kept driving round and round in circles at ear-piercing decibals). But I LURVED me some Velvet doll. Now that you mention it, I do remember the African American Chrissy doll - it was very unique at the time. I hope you still have yours.

I'm suspecting we might have to have a "Velvet" girls vs. "Chrissy" girls dance-off in here.
