Seventies Heart Attack

Dear Mikayla,


Please have a heart attack over how evocative this photograph is of real-life seventies experiences. Once you get past the initial shock of the funky wallpaper, try focusing on the people Does it look like this woman is barefoot? It does. Know why? She's wearing plastic heels, a la Cinderella. And his matching suit? Timeless and trapped, all at the same time.

I love them.

Love,
Allyson

P.s. this is my mom

  2. Dear Blog World and Anonymous Mom,

    I knew that! But it still doesn't change the fact that the wallpaper and the fashion is obviously still clinging and left-over from the seventies.

    Love,
    Allyson
