Description
See ya later old cheese! Join your favorite Blume Heads for chapters 7-8 of “Puberty Blues,” the iconic Australian YA novel by Kathy Lette and Gabrielle Carey (1971). Sydney surfie chicks Deb and Sue are still getting up to no good – guzzling brandyvino, dating terrible boys, watching Benny Hill, wearing see-thru underpants, and getting called to the headmaster’s office. Meanwhile, Jody and Alison discuss Singapore Social, Alison’s early adoption of UGG boots, the joy of answering machine greetings, fibro houses, and the groundbreaking Aussie soap, “Number 96.” There’s also a disturbing letter from Beth about a Vaseline-covered amputated hand, and a note from Andrea about some spooky Blume Saloon-related coincidences. And if that’s not enough, we’ve piped in some excellent Australian commercials from the late ‘70s!
