    I remember hearing the 1970s referred to as "the decade that style forgot." Looking back at old photos, I have to agree.

    Oh please.

    I'd trade a miniskirt or hot pants for some of the 'style' I see woman wear today.

    I guess I am the Silent generation, born in 1940. I Grew up in the Nifty fifties or maybe the "last Happy days". My generation referred to the baby boomers as "Post war derelict darlings" I guess no matter what your generation, those that follow just don't measure up.

    Don't let those hot pants blind you to the brown and orange flowers, big purple swirls, flares, oh, and the hair!

    Baby Boomer - 1960 - Although my sister refuses to believe we're the same "generation" - she's one of the ones who started it all in 1946!

    Hey, I like 70s clothes! I wasn't around to see them in the 70s but I like vintage clothes.

    I've heard myself described as Gen X (1966) but also as "star X" because I was born as the baby boom was trailing off. Both of my siblings are definitely boomers.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    I love it. I used to work with someone who unwisely revealed that when he first started work in the late seventies, he wore a brown 3-piece suit (flared trousers, obviously), sort of coffee-coloured shirt, and a wide, wide tie with a HUGE knot. And he had a lot of hair. I spent about seven years trying to get a photograph out of his wife, but I never did manage it.

    Born in 59 so this year I will turn the nifty 50. Have you heard 50 is the new 38. I was and am so a head banger, Zepplin, Stones, AeroSmith, Beatles, Bowie, Queen, Doors. Old but still a rocking.
