Retro 1970's Disco Ladies





A funky pair of disco divas!
I found this great vintage pair of prints in an the backroom of an old bargain outlet. I thought they were just too unique to pass up and talked the store owner down a bit, as is obligatory in these types of shops.
My 14 year old daughter was pretty amused at the get ups. She wanted to know if I dressed that funky in the '70s. I laughed. I was 14 in 1980. Missed it by a few years there, toots. I did have a few pairs of bell bottoms though.
It turns out that these are a set of prints by Gloria Eriksen. She has achieved a great deal of fame since she did these prints, but mostly with floral still lifes. If interested in her current work go to http://www.art.com/ and search Eriksen
My daughter listed them on Ebay, she wants a laptop and is trying to earn one. I am pretty impreseed that she is trying to earn the money instead of beggging me for it! If you would like to see these vintage prints in a bit more detail or maybe even bid on them click on this link. Maybe you can help her get that laptop? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESEX:IT&item=150212436223&_trksid=p3984.cSELL.m315.lVI
We have been pricing laptops and found a great site to help us find a great deal. I'll post more on that in the next day or two.
Gotta love those divas though, right?
Doc
