Plaid Stallions: Like Time Travel but without all the mess!

About Me

Plaidstallions.com is a site devoted to both loving and mocking the 1970's through the use of department store catalogs.

Every day on the Blog, we look at all things Orange and Brown, polyester and bell bottomy. We ask questions like "Why do couples dress alike" and "Was a green pants suit ever cool"?

We also take long loving looks at the toys offered in the 1970's such as Mego, GI Joe, Barbie, Easy Bake oven etc. Often also featuring original toy industry ads and catalogs. Spilling into the eighties on occasion.

Keep That Pimp Hand Strong
