Going through old photo albums and continually seeing PlaidStallions catalog posts has inspired me... to embarrass myself by sharing what my mom made me wear as a child in the 70's.

Who wants to join in the fun?





Yes, that's my dad wearing a dashiki... because it was popular.





No this wasn't halloween. It was just my mom's sick sense of humor.

I've shown you mine... now let's see some bad fashions.

Everyones pictures are Awesome! I want a dashiki now. Very cute picture in the orange outfit,i also like the Mobil one.

I also really like Rallygirl's Boppo the Clown pic and Megospidey's ape shirt.

I dont have alot of pics,most are at my Moms,but i found one that i know is from the seventies.

This is probably from "73" or "74",maybe 3rd grade?

A bad picture of a bad picture of a bad picture.

Uneven "bowl cut",check.
One Dumbo ear hanging out,check.
Big buck teeth with bonus big gap in between,check.
Big ring zipper front multi-color shirt with additional bonus points for having the zipper zipped all the way up and collar all out of wack.
More than likely a school pic,bonus, when i was at the height of my Dorky looking years.

And here I am as a little yowan running around my grandparents yard in some chic suit. I actually bought that house from my grandmother in 1989 and lived in it up until a year ago.

And speaking of the 8mm films, here are two classics.

First up is me helping to clean the fish we caught in the Lewes, Delaware bay. Look at the painted on shorts, plaid shirt, stylin' hat and size 12 sneakers!

Here's a shot of me making out with my girlfriend in the back of the church at my aunt's wedding circa 1982. This is actually a screen shot from a video that was digitized from 8mm film. My grandfather was always roaming around with that darn 8mm film camera and my grandmother gave them to me when he passed away. I digitized all of them and we had a blast watching them a few years ago. Anyway, look at that stylin' three piece tan velour suit with the shirt hanging open and my choker chain. I often wonder what happened to that groovy dude.

No. My toys and comics didn't survive beyond my 12th or 13th year. I have replaced all those Megos and then some!

Nice! I've done the same. While in high school, I sold almost my entire comic collection for the cash. Then in law school, I got the itch while at a grocery store. I saw an issue of the Clone Saga on an old wire rack and bought it. I was hooked and recreated my collection. Then, I sold it again to finance my first wedding (which lasted 4 years). I have since re-acquired it and told my 2nd (and final - 14 years and counting) wife that there is no way in hades I am selling it again! I think it was comic karma!

[Iron Mego]

So, do you still have the Megos?

No. My toys and comics didn't survive beyond my 12th or 13th year. I have replaced all those Megos and then some!

The Apes shirt is great... the expression in the first pic is better! LOL

Such a cute picture! Thanks for the great thread idea!

[cockyhoskins]

Me, Mom and Sis.

I like how the Shogun Warrior (?) is in the picture, like a member of the family. Well done!

[cockyhoskins]

First Megos and fancy clothes.

So, do you still have the Megos?

[cockyhoskins]

Haha! Thanks Rallygirl! I was a Casanova... in my own mind! LOL!

I think I'm wearing the same suit enyawd72 wore to his senior prom, given his description.

[Rallygirl]

Me, aged 8, wearing a pink silk shirt and maroon velour suit:

Let me be the first to say that this outfit is fabulous, absolutely fabulous! You look like the Casanova of third grade!
