I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy!!
Happy Fourth of July!!
Hiya Blogland!! Don’t think you can get much dandier than 70’s Liberace in sequined hotpants!!
Our little Diva-ette is rocking a patriotic outfit of the Diva’s. I’m sure she is looking down in approval!
Today I’ll be sharing some vintage Bicentennial images. 1976 was the 200th birthday of the United States and we celebrated in groovy 70’s cheesetasticness!!
1.Gunne Sax Dress-I NEED this!
2. Tooled leather purse
3. Patriotic Gaucho’s!
1. Colonial inspired prints were the rage!
2. Notice Willis from Different Strokes?
Barbies, Colonial prints and a Bicentennial shirt ad
Sew your own Colonial Garb!
Companies tied into the Bicentennial with their advertising. Even if it made no sense whatsoever. Bicentennial CHAINSAWS??
More bicentennial themed advertisements. It was “stick a flag on EVERYTHING”
We can’t overlook dishes and such! There are still loads of this crap in thrifts!
Like I said-they put flags on the strangest stuff!
Pins and patches
Cuddly Ben Franklin doll, Avon does Bicentennial, the Official 1976 Bicentennial Edition Pacer Car, Hallmark Tin
I want ALL of these!!
Flip Wilson, Susan Ford & Sonny Bono on People, Fat Elvis in his blue Bicentennial Costume, KISS!!
I dressed about as patriotic as I’m gonna get for work yesterday. This outfit also fit right in with this weeks SpyGirl’s 52 Pick-me-up Challenge: Black, White, Red, Blue!
This is my outside version!
This is my ice-box office version!
Vintage blingy!
I’m also linking up a bit late with Jane at Flight Platform Living for Shiny T Tuesday-Red Sky at Night. This is about the only red I own. I need to remedy that!!
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!! I’ll be back on Sunday with more fun!!

you’re my second friend who posted that Liberace photo! Of course, he wants to wear the costume!
I’ve made that men’s pattern, it’s great for that time period, the women’s is not so good.
I want the stars and stripes platforms. Come to think of it, doesn’t the lovely Desiree have a pair?
I think she does!
I believe Desiree does have a pair! Of those shoes!!
