I had the torment of having to wear elder brothers clothes.

Yes, I had to wear flared trousers when they were no longer cool. I had box heel shoes, clamdiggers (probably the most idiotic shoe design ever), wide lapels, wide ties, and parka coats. All 'Cool' in their day, but not 5 years later.

I am now at peace with the fashion industry. I don't care.

MRS igor the flame haired Irish trollop says my whole wardrobe ie a fashion disaster.
which is rich coming from someone who , when we were courting (an old fashioned word i know) wore a vivid , green kaftan that looked like a 4 man tent

Memories of the Afghan coat....

Me and numero uno mate spent a month's salary on one each.

Back home we went......


Afghan coats were pegged out on the washing line until me and numero uno mate were ready to trip the proverbial light fantastic

Emerging stage left, me in velvet bell bottoms, numero uno mate in maxi skirt and floaty feminine stuff. Both in fashionista Afgham coats.

It doesn't get more stylish than this.......

At the age of 15 and at the height of Grease fever I saved up a months babysitting money for a pair of skin tight black pvc trousers whick could only be zipped-up with the help of a coat hanger while laying flat on my back...ohhhhhhh they were so uncomfortable and left my hips bruised.

Around this time (late 70's) I remember thinking I was a fashion trendsetter in my chunky brown/beige Starsky cardigan........aggggghhhhh
