Those "Sex and the City" lightweights look like Girl Scouts next to these broads. The 1970's get reviled as the beginning of the end of Western civilization, but as photos like this conclusively prove, they also were the last gasp of authentic glamour.

You're quite right - the 70s are a transitional time, one that allowed both for the prolonged twilight of the Great Ladies and the rise of the Leisure Suit.
I think it's rather amazing that three of these creatures are, more or less, still among us.
