How did fashion in the 1960s compare to the fashion in the 1970?

In general, I've noticed that the 60s tended to focus on bright colors and geometrical prints. Hair styles were a bit stiff, (Think bouffants and Jackie Kennedy) and make-up was bold, especially with eyeliner. The transition into the 1970s was subtle, it began by channeling the bright colors of the 60s into the disco look of the 70s. I notice that flare pants, sequins, and looser hairstyles became popular. As the new decade progressed, fashion began to take a more casual turn. Hair took a more natural look, and sideburns/beards were back in style for men, and the disco style became toned down, resulting in what is considered to be the "70s hippie" look associated with guitar-playing, folk-singing American nomads.

What is the origin of the phrase Oh Arturo Prince of Irony?

Brett Butler, a Southern born comedienne, did a stand-up bit many years ago (circa 1990s?). After a show in New York City, a guido with a monstrously thick NYC accent came up to her and said, "I coult nevah live down Sout'...peepul soun' so stoopit when dey tawlk." Her response was, "Oh Arturo, Prince of Irony." The point, of course, being that the guy was lambasting someone for something he was standing there doing himself. As to whether Ms. Butler coined or found the phrase, only she can say.

Which is better - roman blinds or venetian blinds?

Both of them have a different construction. Roman blinds are usually made of fabric and generally preferred in living rooms to add to the decorum of the upholsteries. You can also use roller blinds at home. Venetian blinds have horizontal slats one above the other and tied up with cords which rotates them 180 degrees to open and close. These are usually used in offices.

When were blinds first used?

Say the word "blinds" and some of us picture the two inch wide Venetian blinds of the 50's. They were two inch wide metal slats that were hung together with fabric strips to allow raising, lowering or tilting. They were, generally, noisy and by most standards did little to spruce up a room. But you can go a lot farther back in history to find the first application of blinds to windows. The early Egyptians strung together reeds from the mighty Nile for their version and the ancient Chinese cultures used bamboo. Hop on up to the eighteenth century and blinds were used as a modernization over bulky wooden shutters. Today those metal blinds of the 50's were replaced in the 80's by one inch vinyl mini blinds you can still use to decorate your windows, plus a wide variety of applications.
