Let's return to 1977

There's no 'may' about it, JR. The 70s were essentially fashion vomit.

I believe I owned the leisure suit to the left, but only in a wonderful dark, forest green color.

Also, anyone recall the bow tie trend during that decade? Believe I had a nice blue and white polka dot bow tie. Clip on, of course.

And how about Garanimals? For those who just can't figure out what matches, we'll help you out. Although, did anything not match in the 70s?

Well. at least we got some wonderful t-shirts to wear:

 

I liked Swingtown. And I was 13/14 in 1977.. I"m pretty sure I wore some of those clothes.

 

If we are going back to '77, hope you don't mind if I put something on the turntable:

 

I had a light blue corduruy leisure suit and I thought I was the coolest dude in town.

Particularly with hair down to my shoulders.

I shudder.

 

I gotta be honest, I like the suit on the right.
I would wear it TODAY.

 

If you want some real laughs, I should scan my high school yearbook. Class of '76, baby. Polyester print shirts, big bell bottoms and platform shoes, then off to the clubs in Brooklyn with a cigarette box full of joints, an eight-pack of Miller grenades and maybe a qualude or two. You could Latin hustle all night, hop back into the Camaro Z-28, pop Donna Summer into the eight-track player, stop off for a bag of sliders at White Castle and still be home by dawn. As an added bonus, if you parked with someone, you had to constantly look over your shoulder in case Son of Sam was taking aim on your leisure suit-wearin' ass. Oh, yes, it was a very fucked up time.

 

I can believe you'd own those fashion disasters - and think you looked good wearing them. It's the second sentence I have trouble picturing

 

Well, don't think about it too much or you'll have nightmares.

 

Oh, thank God. I thought I was the only one.

 

Ha, remember those places very well. One birthday my mother got me a t-shirt that said, "On the eighth day God created Bruce Springsteen" with a drawing of a guy who looked nothing like the Boss on the front and my first name on the back. Good, good times.

 

Re-inforced knees!!! Excellent for tree climbing.

 

They made my knees itch so bad. God, I hated those things.
