About the only 70's thing I've kept with me from the 70's (besides music good & bad) is an odd affinity for blacklights and blacklight paint... Kitsch Korner |
Here's the corner of
my bedroom, an homage to a far-out bedroom at my best friend's house in
the '70's. These posters, while very cheesy, remind me of that
room (which belonged to my friend's older sister).
That room fascinated me: after
painting the walls black, her artist boyfriend then used blacklight paint
to create larger-than-life murals of hobbit-like creatures hiking on
steep mountain trails with far-out foliage, exploding galaxies, deep-space
dragons with infinite tails, etc., etc., until the entire room was awash in hideous
color! Then
they installed several large blacklights...
Well, at age 13, I figured there was no higher transcendental
experience possible beyond sitting in that room, in the dark,
blacklights aglow, with Wild Mountain Honey (Steve Miller) on the
stereo.
My 30" fluorescent-tube blacklight straddles the At about waist-level is a working fountain replete with miniature waterfall, greenery, little Japanese fisherman and little wooden bridge. |
