    The 80s for me, mid 80s was deathrock( now goth). I miss the hairstyle, in some ways.
    All you did was rat out ALL of your hair regardless of length, fill it full of ( yucky) hairspray, koolaide( made it stand up and coloured it) and leave it. You never had to brush it, or cut it.Bits would break off occasionally but that only made it look better. Washing it was wierd though. I just dont know how my Dad could stand looking at me, what with all that white face makeup, spiderwebs, black lippie and old ratty tshirts, plus capes! I looked hilarious!
    As I said to one young man, who once came to me, almost crying, that people had laughed at him on the street - but, your 6 feet tall, wearing black lipstick and a velvet cape, in summer! At noon! In boots, in 110o weather! FOR A JOB INTERVIEW!

    Im finding more reasons to wear , non chamois bike shorts( under mini skirts, ect). I wish all my clothes were as easy to match as cycling gear. ( I did vow never to wear bike shorts again, after the 80s but I hate clothes.)

    That exercise machine picture is fantastic

    Can you imagine any of those lovely ladies exerting themselves hard enough to sweat? Or, dare I say it, grunt?? Nope, pretty sure they chatted and laughed their way blithely through each "exercise" session, make-up impeccable and smiles intact.

    I have only some minor 80s fashion offenses to own up to. But then, I was basically a fashion disaster anyway for turning up at school in 70s bellbottom jeans at a time when jeans were highrise and tight. My mother couldn't see anything wrong with them, they were new (and cheap) after all, and I was too clueless to see the difference.

    Apologies to anybody who loves this style, but I am so looking forward to when really saggy show-your-entire-butt shuffle-along pants go out of style, and the cool gangsta dudes realize how absurd they looked...

    I feel that way about shoes.

    That stationary bike has toe clips. And she's riding it with no shoes.

    At least we wore shoes when we dressed in shiny Lycra thong leotards. I'm going to have nightmares about that picture.

    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.
