    There was a guy on the bike route this morning with pants just like the lady on the left. He was missing the matching jacket unfortunately.

    Thanks for the post Zen!

    when I was young ... eh sorry ... younger, new wave was out and along came: New Beat. With it's own fashion statement (ahum). So this was how we were dressed back in the eighties:





    And yes those are cycling shorts. Really. Seriously.

    It was very hip back then for boys to wear cycling shorts when you went nightclubbing.

    No photographic evidence as this was pre-cell-phone-c u m-camera days (thank god, do the kids have ANY idea what a world of hurt they're in for in the coming years, LOL)

    But I must admit to having some pretty wild looking hair, if not the crazy clothes. Combs, no hair spray.
    By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.

    I think I'm thankful we moved the summer of '72 and Mommy Dearest missed shopping out of that particular Sears Catalogue. There were many Sears purchases in my future as we moved to a military base in Michigan adjacent to a small town, and the closest mall was over 100 miles away.

    Thank you zen,

    you made my day down memory lane... Then the wacky disco came to being.

    Priceless moment: US Navy signs up the Village People "In the Navy" . just too funny, And the reaction from the Navy when they realized that Village People were GAY!! oops. How could they have missed it with the biker dude, the construction guy and the fact they were from Greenwich Village. HE---LLLOOOO----??? I lived in the city at the time and EVERYBODY KNEW THAT GREENWICH VILLAGE WAS GAY!!!

    Any hooowwww... thanks.
