What a wonderful summer you can have with layers of soft tiered ruffles on your skirt! These above-the-knee skirts are called Ra-Ra, because they were derived from the skirts cheerleaders wore, and we know the fashionistas of 80s, certainly loved them to pieces.

Very sexy skirts, I have to say.

Mrs SV used to dress like that when I met her in the 80s.

To be fair, those girls would look good in potato sacks.

"These girls are so skinny they would break in half leading a cheer" Perhaps this young lady will be more to your liking:

Wore these little short skirts when I was young. So short that they came with matching underpants.
One day, my boss said I nearly gave some old client a heart attack when I bent over to get a sheet of paper.

Attended a dance recently where some of the young gals actually dressed like something very close to this. If you can imagine a trampy chick like Brittney packing on another 40 pounds (not unlike 00 in the photo) and wearing a short wispy and baggy dress exposing sagging breasts and a huge spare tire, you’ve got the picture. In addition, some of these gals had tattoos that looked like deformed cartoon birds and butterflies. It was scary!

When I was thin and cute I wore these.
Now my girls will.

Those were popular in the 80s. They were called rhumba skirts.

Is the rhumba anything like the Lambada? No! That is the forbidden dance!

RA-RA!

My daughter wears those. My wife did back in the day. I just hope parachute pants never make a comeback.

These girls are so skinny they would break in half leading a cheerI think they look healthy. They look like they aren't going to develop diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and/or high blood pressure. They look like they could get out and run a couple of miles or hike all day or lift some bales of hay because they're in shape. We're so used to seeing overweight people in this country we forgot how slender a nineteen-year-old girl is supposed to be.
