Oh man... someone make that one of Brick Mantooth's outfits!

Burgandy bodysuit with turleneck & bell bottoms, and what can only be discribed as a dashiki! Make it, and sell it carded!

I have a story about macrame (as told to me by one party involved). In the early 1980's, my cousin's first husband used to make macrame and had several plants hanging in his macrame masterpieces in their living room. One day after the two of them smoked an illegal hand-rolled cigarette (trying to be subtle here), he stepped into the kitchen for some reason that probably involved snacking. In his absence, my cousin decided that the macrame was uneven at the bottom and should be fixed. So she decided to use a Bic lighter to burn the macrame in such a way that the strands would all be uniform in length. To her surprise, the macrame burst into flames and she yelled out to her husband, "The macrame! THE MACRAME!" He rushed into the room and quickly put the fire out.

The moral of this story? Illegal cigarettes, fire, and macrame don't mix.



By the way, I also think that outfit would be great for Brick Mantooth. He definitely needs some extra 70's fashions to change him into.

Brick Mantooth once sent a man to the hospital for using the words macrame and dashiki in the presence of one of his lady friends. Best be careful.

Sad thing is...That outfit looks like it would comfortable. In a weird 70's sorta way....of course... I mean I would want anything like that....er.....*sigh*

that first one's funny

[jwyblejr]

I think the two in the back are grinning because they shaved the dude in the front's mustache half off. Or rather the fuzz he has on his lip.

[JediJaida]

It's not a dashiki.....it's Luke Skywalker's tunic from Star Wars! Or something that the people of Tatooine wear in the summer.

I remember when most of the boys in my old apartment building used to wear those and thought that they were all that and a bag of chips.

Does the guy in front remind anyone of Sam Champion the weatherman from ABC news? He's got a similar haircut and too white smile.
