PARTY POLITICS

We're chucking out some old kids' party books.

This one's from 1980! Good old St.Michael!

Looks like great dancing fun on the cover, though the little 'un sat down seems mightily miffed with John Travolta!


Just look at those hula-hoop trees for scoffing at the party table!


and boy! such great 1980's kids' nosh! What a spread! Would kids still eat grub like this?


and as it's 1980 and the world's still in the grip of Star Wars fever here's a cheeky Kenner/ Palitoy C3PO guarding the rocket cake!


I bet Star Wars toys were at every birthday party back then. Our daughter came along later so the fever had receded.

Did you have birthday parties like this? Have you seen Star Wars or other space toys at parties?

  1. The only group kids parties I went to were at the local Bernado's home.
    That party spread is typically 1970s/80s.
    All 'shades of brown' with carbohydrates and sausage meat, but not a single vegetable or salad item (or even fruit) to be seen !

  2. St Michael might even be found guilty of 'child abuse' for a spread like that now !
