Mojave!

No it's not a scene from Space:1999, it's an ad for Mojvae! Carpet. I never seem to discuss one of the most pinnacle things about the 70's, Shag carpeting. It's one of those things so associated with the era, I get happy when i see it. Coincedently, I fly into a murderous rage when i see berber.

In 1989, my parents moved into what had to be the greatest house ever, built in the early seventies, this house looked like the Brady's moved out a week ago. Avacado green kitchen and covered from top to bottom in every colour of shag in this ad. I wouldn't have changed a thing, my parents however, had me spend two weeks removing the stuff, wish I'd kept some of it but I kept finding gummy bears....

Oh Man. . .you mean that is from the past. My oldest Brother bought his house in 1982. . . .it had pretty much that carpet. . . it is still there in the living room. I must get a photo.

Another Bro had a VW Combi Van wall to wall carpeted in shag pile like this. . .late 70's early 80's. . . very Chic. . .the girls just coulodn't say no . . .and that van was a rockin.

With carpet like that, who cares about stains?
