This could devastate my reputation as a dude
Michele has had a series of blogger "then and now" photos going during the Blogathon -- her theme has been pop culture from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

I just found her the perfect photo. It was taken circa Christmas 1985. Yes, that's me sporting a bitchin' pair of parachute pants with neon-pink zipper inserts. And of course you can't forget the Duran Duran-esque chauffeur's cap and skinny black leather tie. Always a slave to fashion, I am...



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



Man, if I'd known she was doing that I might have tried to dig up a picture of me with my parachute pants, Michael Jackson Beat It red leather zipper jacket, and of course, the "tail" off the back of my head.

Hehe..

Cheers,
-R.

Were you planning on saving "Miracles"? Where are Turbo and Ozone when you need 'em?

Who needs church? I've found God right here: fat Oklahoma sooner in parachute pants and a skinny tie. It's all I need. :)

I too had parachute pants. Paint splattered pants too. What about the bandanas? I used to tie a red one around my knee and a blue one around the other ankle. That with my yellow t-shirt (with the Michael Jackson iron-on) and red jelly shoes. Those were the days.....

And who'da thunk that that sweet little innocent child would one day grow up to show her boobies on the internet
;-)

PS Can we have more boobies please?

Oh...that's so cool...Duran Duran was the first concert I ever went to! In 7th grade mind you, way way back in '83. Ah...memories...

DUDE ... I am not shitting you when I tell you that on a recent trip to Express (like 3 days ago) I SWEAR they had those same pants in there now. There is a total retro not-even punk thing happening in the chain stores. I'm talking skin-tight satin rutched pants everywhere. I half expected to see leg warmers, but I guess they stayed in Japan. Did I fall into the black hole?
