I REALLY do enjoy this reading. Everybody's past brings up more memories of my own. The "good ones".........don't remember having any "bad ones"........yea, right!!! anyway, there sure are many Beatles and Genesis fans here and if I HAD to pick 2, they would be "them". Real good english,huh!?!?!? I can't tell you how many times I've Thanked GOD for my life and HE definately deserves the THANKS for Guidance. Keep on writing thoughts and if you have any other catagories, add 'em in. I'm thinking of adding one: The worst influence on the moon..let me see.??????? Sharc, wojtek, mossy,rickandroll,keithie w,mailotron,nadina.......y'all keep hittin' me in the pocket book...........AND!!!!........I LOVE IT!!!! Oh!! BTW, Kirk.ya still got your "Monkee Shirt".......COOL!!! I wish I still had my silver sparkle shoes, with 1 1/2" red sparkle soles<SP>and 3" heels.......THEY were COOL!!! HEY!! How about THAT for a thread.....What were the weirdest clothes you wore???........AND!!! Thought you were REALLY cool in?!?!?

Hmmmmm!

Michael said that he listened to a lot of "Sweet" via his brother, weeelllllllllll......

When I was 16, I used to own (and wear) a Sky Blue Satin suit. It had the high waist band (could never wear one of those again for physical not mental reasons), 22inch flares, 6 inch round lapels on the jacket and I used to wear it with a frilly fronted winged collared shirt and stack healed snakeskin effect knee high boots.

In those days I had hair a la Robert Plant (maybe longer) and thought I looked GREAT!!!!!!

Thinking back, though, I was always alone at school discos and that may be the reason I changed to wearing a pair of purple velvet Loon pants, Short Kaftan, Combat jacket and wide brimmed Green felt hat.

Funnily enough I was still alone at school discos.

I'm very sorry to tell you that no photographs exist of this era so you will have to imagine it yourselves.

THAT!!! Was HILARIOUS!!! Unfortunately.....I can picture it......AND!!! .......I can picture, thinking you were cool
I used to wear leisure suits, when I played in a 70's - 9 peice "disco-soul" band. WHEW!!! Average White Band, The Commodores, KC and the Sunshine Band and Earth, Wind, and Fire were..........IT!!! I also had dark green satin pants and a green velvet zipper jacket, with a wide collar, that I wore with my silver shoes. (The jacket had gold and silver sequin dragons on each side of the zipper) Who was I?!?!?? Oh!......and the jacket was only zippered up about 2-3 inches, to expose my boney, hairless chest. Hey! All I can say now is............shake, shake, shake...shake your BOOTY!!!

Indeed that was probably matter of clothes as when I saw Keithie's photo from..well... I think beginning of 90's, Keithie was more than surrounded by girls in Hawaian wear. They seemed to be very happy. So did KW.

So tell me Woj...............where did you see that photo from????? As if I didn't-bloody well-know

Ho Ho Ho!!!! I think the Rum punch might have been a factor there. Maybe that piccie should go into this thread under the heading "Clothes you wore and thought you looked cool in".

VAX...........over to you my friend.
