OT: Blast from the past....Remember the 80's?

Cruisin the Mall with big hair, mullets, acid wash jeans, cut off shirts, and cigs.

My memory goes back to around the Gulf War and even that is fuzzy. clear memories date around 1993.

Looking at those pictures, I have to say that my 80s was much better looking than that. I lived in Santa Barbara for the first half, and moved to South Pasadena with frequent trips to Redondo Beach for the second half.

That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.

LOL!!!

Unfortunately, I knew a couple of guys who embraced that philosophy.

Not sure if they are properly sourced and attributed at the link above, but those photos are the work of Michael Galinsky. Most of these were taken at a mall on Long Island in 1989, iirc.

No Louis, that was more like my 90s, when I was in Hawaii.

Beautiful.


Hodge podge. Exploration in fashion, music, food, film, speech...just a crazy, crazy time. You had no idea who to take seriously. And if you took anybody too seriously, you weren't fully embracing the times. Video arcades, breakdancing, sergio valente, orange julius, duran duran, cabbage patch kids, dungeons & dragons, Kelly Lebrock, metal lunch boxes, double dutch, nagel artwork, trapper keepers, the Showtime Lakers...


And this poster....

[54ny77]

speaking of orange julius, that's EXACTLY what came to mind when i saw the orange firefly posted in the showcase gallery. :banana:

(you should check out the bike, it's really nice.)

...orange julius...

I never liked malls either. It was way too pretentious. Those are entertaining pictures though.

Malls as pretentious? That's setting the bar for pretension pretty low there... ;)
