  1. Groovy is certainly correct! For some reason this is one of my favorite pictures here so far. In a way, kind of eerie looking.

  2. Reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode "The After Hours" from 1960. Very cool.

  3. Yea, I agree with Cora wholeheartedly. The pants suits were horrible back in the day. But the dress laid out in front is groovy.
