‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ spoilers August 3-7
Soaps She Knows is revealing that love will be in the air this week on The Bold and the Beautiful. Many of your favorite characters will be dealing with mixed emotions and here is what is supposed to take place. Steffy will be recuperating from her accident and her new doctor will surprise her with a house call. Earlier spoilers said this will be a new love interest for Ms. Forrester. Fans are not enthused because thus far, the writers continue to have Hope and Steffy in a triangle with Liam and any romance with other men has not lasted. Spoilers also say that Liam visits his baby mama and tells her he would not have wanted to lose her. It sounds like he has some unresolved feelings so the new man may be in for some competition.

The 70’s is the best decade ever
I am a child of the 70s. I turned 12 in 1970 and grew into an adult during this time frame. Most everyone enjoys the music of the particular era in which they came of age, but there is something unique about the 1970s that is not true for any other decade regarding music. During this dispensation in time, artists had their own unique sounds and the music was so great that much of it is sampled by today's singers. There was easy listening, slow dance music, rock, pop, R&B, soul, country, bubble gum, the beginning of rap, and disco. When you heard a few bars of a recording, you knew immediately who was singing. The 70s was also the decade of singers and their bands doing live shows with full bands. There was no lip-synching or entertainers on stage without a band and back up singers. The versatile recording styles of the 1970s are one of a kind and probably will not ever be repeated. The following are 12 songs that I chose which prove what I am saying about versatility.

The Black satin bonnet is the latest fashion trend
There was a day and a time when women were told to never go out in public in hair rollers or their bathrobes. Television shows often had parodies of the wife running out of her home in rollers, a hair bonnet, bedroom shoes and a robe. This has been changing for some time as I have noticed younger women out and about in various items fo attire that used to be relegated to the inside of the home. Since the coronavirus, it seems that African American women, in particular, are re-thinking one specific fashion statement that was previously a faux-paux.
