How much do I love this picture? It conjures up satin baseball jackets, iron-on t-shirts from Salisbury Beach, Marlboro cigarettes in the back of my cutoffs, roller skating, Ace Frehley's "Back in the New York Groove," my dad's big minty green Thunderbirds. I wanted to look like this "when I grew up." Trash.

Was Felix wearing this when you met him?
I swear to god I had a flaming skull one that said, "Hell on Wheels" (!) and a Corvette one that said "Wrap your Ass in Fiberglass." OH! I wish I had that one now! I was at least 4 years away from any driver's license.
*Was Felix wearing this when you met him?*
In aubergine.
I was such a good little nerdygirl I never had these kind of clothes, but I coveted my friend's rhinestone "Foxy Lady" t-shirt in the worst way! I did finally get me some buffalo sandals!
Felix's shorts to match were so divine!
Mavis, thank Jack Lord we met so I could corrupt you ...
I went to Boston and got in with the wrong crowd--YOU! Ha! Bad girls have more fun anyway!
Miss J's satin baseball jacket was royal blue with white sleeves.
Yesssss!
All you girls a just trouble. You make Dawn Davenport look refined.

well, at least you knew what you wanted and you knew who you were. how many of us can say that?
True, true, Miss Judevine!
*sighs* Out of those the only thing I could've (and still can only) wear is the pony tails.
In 1974 I had an entire studded denim outfit and I used to hang around at pinball parlors. Yes, such a thing still existed.
I kinda looked like a peewee pearly king. One time an elderly gent exclaimed "Here comes the Dungaree Dude!" and I never wore it again.
No! You should have brought him everywhere with you, like a sort of emcee, to announce your entrances.
when i was 9 i used to have a t shirt that said "sworn to fun, faithful to none" written over a big sparkly grim reaper on it ;p
If this is who I think it is, this is one of the reasons why you rule.
