Robert Liguori's Contest

Disco Music Strobe light looks like moon-sun. Halo lights of red, blue, yellow, green. He wears classic Saturday Night Fever white. She has a white flower in her hair, head and hips swivel; one-strapped red dress. He points with hands over head. Ballroom floor bittersweet-blue. Celebration of disco music. I was dressed in strapless purple. Burned my bra. This stamp doesn’t nearly catch the falderal - not the nasal and falsetto of the Bee Gees, nor the confident swagger of Tony Manero. I will survive, my motto. The couple on this stamp look too happy, too peppy, maybe preppy, almost ‘50’s. I remember the crowds, the loudness, the vulnerability, the period; that Mom had me ask Dad for money to go. They let me. Strobe light shadows of chiaroscuro amidst flashy night. The stamp is too clean cut.

Thank you, Jack! I thought I would search for 1970’s stamps.

Well done! Interesting era, to say the least. Brought back memories. Sounds like you are a stamp collector, or wise -- few of us will cop to it! Somehow grown out of favor, these terrific works of miniature art. Brava! Don't forget the Platters~ My Prayer! Wow! Talk about great voices and Harmony!

I didn’t have this stamp, just found a pic on line :) My mom loved the song: The Great Pretender. Remember that one?
