Mangos? Paisley reminds me of paramecium.

Pretty sure Ahmedinejad is wearing the ‘mullahs only’ brand jacket 😀

I’d looked it up and saw that. Today’s a double “learned something today.”

Plural of “faux pas” and “quern” on one of SunkenCiv’s posts.

I look forward to a return of "Googie", "Space Age", and such futuristic and science fiction art styles, but made of more durable materials. Much of it was very visually attractive, like molded and textured concrete.

Time to dust off the old Shovelhead . . .

The hair coming back?

Ack!

..Unless I see shiny spandex pants and 4 inch mules I won’t believe the 80s are back.."

Well, uuhhh. I'm kinda thinkin the whole spandex thing is gonna be a non-starter with the current tub'o'lards that'r in the age bracket concerned with current fashion.

The occasional trip to Walmart is bad enough. **shudder**.. d;^)

“spandex”

They said on Jeopardy last night that “spandex” is a rearrangement of “expand”. I never realized that.

Yeah but the 80s were different. When we were in the early days of our marriage we’d drive into Manhattan for dinner and a flick. Some times we’d walk over to Studio 54 to see a few celebs. My wife would be wearing her black spandex a glitter top and 4 inch heels and my biggest fear was that the guy on the rope line would eagerly invite her in while I’d be stopped by two bouncers.

Speaking of the 1980s and mullets, don't forget about the greatest 1980s/mullet wedding ever!

With salad, you should always put the entire leaf of lettuce into your mouth. The only salad intended to be cut with a knife is the wedge salad.

[plain talk]

“shirt. She also chided me for cutting the lettuce in my salad with a knife instead of stuffing the entire leaf into my mouth‘

I do that sometimes. But then I have always been independent minded and don’t care what people think. I also use knife and fork to eat Chinese food. :-)

Second pic from the left is Nancy Wilson of Heart. She’s not guilty. :)

You must be Swiss!

Camo was everywhere.

Houston even had a camo nightclub with camo nets and the entire survivalist/mercenary theme that was popular then.

[Alas Babylon!]

Is that the Iranian dinner jacket?

To update to 2023, just move the mullet hair from the neck to the chin.
