Do you remember Tiger Beat magazine? I never bought a copy but would look at it when I was buying candy at Reed’s Drug Store. Tiger Beat was (and still is from what I understand) all about teen idols, music, and fashion aimed primarily teenage girls. Back in my day the popular heart throbs on the cover of Tiger Beat were Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy, and Donny Osmond. Which one of those was your favorite?
I was more of a John Denver fan myself, but nothing beat the coolness of the David Cassidy and The Partridge Family. Remember that show? I didn’t really think Keith Partridge was that dreamy, but I though Laurie was just about the coolest with her long straight hair. Of course Shirley was the best mom in the whole world, always knowing what to do. And when they were performing she always dressed like Austin Powers.
Why oh why couldn’t my family be that groovy and travel around in a painted school bus to sing at Holiday Inns around the country? Well, a young girl dreams.
Now that I’m not so young The Partridge Family adorns my wine glasses once in a while. A set of Partridge Family drink charms are available in my Etsy shop for you too! If you really want to go all out, pair them up with a set of The Brady Bunch charms and you’ll have the most far-out party ever!
Come on! They’re all so sappy they’re cool! These charms are a retro gift any child of the ’70s would love. See you at the shop!
