Nope, this is an ad for great clothing, that no homosexual would be caught dead in. The caption did make me laugh out loud. Nice work.

A bonanza of jaw-dropping 1971 fashion choices. All for a mere few books. Amber colored glasses and fields of daises are not inlcuded.

How can you not like this catalog cover. It borders on the erotic. Hard to believe Sears would be in financial trouble with this type of printed material.

I love the choice of photos for this catalog:

“Look at me, honey! I’m about to do something slightly foolish by crossing this ditch on this board. Take my picture!”

The rest of the catalog is just as fascinating, for both these sensibilities, and its detailed descriptions and illustrations of the cameras and lenses of the day. I’ll be uploading the rest of it over the next couple of days, because I cannot resist otherwise.
