CLASS

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?

Donna Lethal said...

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.

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!

Donna Lethal said...

Felix's shorts to match were so divine!

Mavis, thank Jack Lord we met so I could corrupt you ...

Donna Lethal said...

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.

If this is who I think it is, this is one of the reasons why you rule.
