STUCK IN THE '70S
 |
Webmaster Julie Fidler's capacious, enthusiastic and frankly
autobiographical Web-based tribute to her favorite decade achieves
folk history. Fidler's hilarious teenage diary documents crushes
on such "foxes" as Erik Estrada and John Travolta.
Surfers can also expect to find loads of blow-dried nostalgia,
music and celebrity links, photos and flashbacks to '70s television,
all with the very personal touch of this cat breeder and single
mother. It's dy-no-mite!

demonstrate a savvy editorial wit and a genuine fascination with
boob-tube culture. Don't miss the Video Vault's collection of
