SWEET SEVENTIES

I just have to share with you all that I got soooo inspired the last two nights while watching the series Paper Giants - the birth of Cleo - at ABC. It not only gave me a huge desire to travel back in time to the seventies and frock up in all of these A-MA-ZING outfits; enjoy an era of change and optimism and revolutionize a little bit - it also gave me a fantastic insight to the Australian media history (being fairly new to this country and all..:-). I mean, what an extraordinary story, extraordinary people and even more extraordinarily exciting opportunities and battles between the media dynasty's.. And wow, Ita Buttrose - I am soo super impressed. What an extraordinary woman. I want to be like her. As you can probably read between the lines... I am quite overwhelmed and filled with inspiration. 5 stars from me to the production, the styling and especially Asher Keddie who gave an amazing portrait of Ita.

Ps. Also, a little cute thing... the sweet lady next to Asher / Ita in the photo above (can't remember the name of the character) - anyway, she looks just like my little mum looked in the seventies... Mamma - kan du inte skicka mig en bild pa lilla sota dig nar du hade luggen. Sa himlans gulligt och jag saknade dig extra mycket framfor TVn.... stor kraaaam

Anyway - a little treat for the day, as I've given it a 70s theme... classic 70s styled sunnies:

ELTON JOHN

1976 Elton John was titled the worst dressed man of the year in the USA. I´m not sure how much his glasses had to do with it but surely he´s inspired us through the years with his courage. And it´s been a few frames over the years... In the 70ies they were just as big and eyecatching as Jackie Onassis. In later days they´ve become smaller and often blue or pink glass. The white sunglasses on the Greatest Hits album above have become something like a trademark in his early career.

In ”I’m with Cupid”, which is most about Apu and Manjula, Elton John arrives in a private jet decorated with huge sunglasses. There is apparently also a play with the name Elton John’s Glasses, but it´s weirdly just about football.
