Saturday Night Fever

9 Nov 2010 - Believe it or not, but John Travolta turns 60. For those of us growing up in the 1970s the movie Saturday Night fever, starring John Travolta, defined a generation. After the Beatles and the Stones in the 1960 the disco-era started around 1977 when Travolta strut his funky stuff on the dance floor. The impact of the iconic movie was tremendous, because soon after its release all men were all wearing high heal and got their leisure suits on, while polyester shirts were THE fashion item. Interesting enough, John Travolta's character Tony looked ubercool in this outfit, but some of us looked right out ridiculous in the outfit. The high heels also meant a health hazard for many, as many ankles were twisted while clomping around. However, the white suit and black polyester shirt became iconic after Travolta appeared on the poster wearing the signature suit.
