The Picture Theads lately got me looking through my stash

[Bok_Tukalo]

And I found an 80's cool-dude from my youth. Collar up and all that. Anybody else have cool-dude pictures (cheesecakes for girls).

[Reverend_Smitty]

1. You look a bit like Tom Cruise...

in Risky Business in that pic!

[Bok_Tukalo]

3. I probably had just seen the movie

Maybe we can coax some Madonna's out.

[Left Is Write]

7. Definitely Risky Business-esque.

[benddem]

2. sweet! n/t

[VOX]

4. Very retro-hip!

:thumbsup:

[Bok_Tukalo]

6. I assume everyone goes through the cool-dude stage in their lives

Thankfully, mine was short lived.

[Left Is Write]

5. Did you just ask if I have cheesecake from the 80s?

Ask and ye shall receive.

1988:



And yes, I *am* embarrassed to be showing this photo! Can I plead hairspray-induced insanity?

[Bok_Tukalo]

8. I think we dated!!

That is so good. Do NOT be embarrassed. You look outstanding. Ready for the concert with your prettylittlepout.

[Reverend_Smitty]

9. That is 80's-rific!

I have a similar picture of my mom. She had the Jersey girl 80's hair going on with the acid wash jeans...I joke with her that she single handedly attributed to the O-zone depletion!

10. Was it Aqua Net? I was fond of Aqua Net.

And those are indeed genuine acid-washed Forenza jeans.

Thankfully, I'm too old to be trendy if that look ever comes back in.

[Reverend_Smitty]

11. yeah she hit the aqua net pretty hard in those days...

Fortunately I was too young to be sucked into that world of 80's fashion. Although the droopy drawers and hoochie mamma outfits of the 90's weren't much better.

[johnnie]

14. That's a great pic..lol

You look so...ummm.....80s. :hi:

[xmas74]

19. Are those jeans

guess or no excuses?

[Left Is Write]

33. They're Forenza.

They were my favorite jeans.

[xmas74]

34. I had those too.

My fave was guess for a while.

[steve2470]

29. oh.my.god. too good for words nt

[SarahB]

12. Super-cool mod chick circa 1988.

I went through a period for awhile of wearing nothing but black back then as the lines from one of my favorites songs of the time conveyed...

I wear Black on the outside
'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside
I wear Black on the outside
'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside

And if I seem a little strange
Well, that's because I am
If I seem a little strange
That's because I am

Oh, I was so mysteriously deep. I never could quite pull off the brooding look.

[Left Is Write]

13. Oh, I went through a black stage too! I was about 16, so

early 80s.

Great pic - I love the flippy-flippy on the hair.

[Bok_Tukalo]

17. You were an enigma? No one understood you?

That is too cool. The troubled-girl with the tortured soul.

[SarahB]

20. Yeah, but I still looked like a cheerleader.

I looked too standard to be properly alternative. Too "weird" (i.e. brainy, 'nerdy', opinionated) to fit with the cute chicks.

I marched to the beat of my own drum. Still do. :D

[Bok_Tukalo]

28. Square Pegs

to Sex in the City.

We all grow up, unfortunately.

[steve2470]

30. great pic nt

[yvr girl]

15. I think you may be my most handsome future ex-husband

Don't tell the others though - I don't want to hurt their feelings.

[sparky_in_ma]

18. *sigh*

:cry:

[yvr girl]

22. Sparky...you shouldn't eavesdrop

It just leads to hurt feelings. I've loved you longer.

[sparky_in_ma]

25. You are SO not going to be

my favorite ex-wife.:) Good-nite.:*

[yvr girl]

27. Ah, baby, don't be like that.

I was done in by the '80's look. It's my time period after all. I think you're quite dashing. And an older man does have a certain appeal. :* :* :*

[Bok_Tukalo]

23. Too late

Cat's out of the bag.

[yvr girl]

26. What can a girl with lots of future exes do?

I love you all in your own way.

[Bok_Tukalo]

31. "I love you all in your own way."

Almost maternal.

[johnnie]

16. Here is the best I can find from the 80s... I would have to look for more

[Bok_Tukalo]

24. Is that the precursor to the Mullet?

<eom>

[qnr]

21. Bleagh, I had all of my photos stolen. years ago.

Too bad, because I've been traveling all my life. All 50 states and all 7 continents :cry:

[aQuArius]

32. A clipped class photo (late 80's)

Yes, me. I'm so ashamed of my huge hair, huge belt and acid washed jeans. I will now go into hiding, thank you.

[Bok_Tukalo]

35. You were just a little girl

Any early 90's stuff laying around? Perhaps with some flannel?

[aQuArius]

36. Oh God! Not that whole awful flannel phase...

Some things are best forgotten. Lemme look to find what other horrible pics I can find.

[aQuArius]

37. Early 90's

Every girl had to have a spiral perm. I was going through that mid teen awkward stage with braces. YIKES!

[Bok_Tukalo]

38. Look at that rock on your ear.

I am lost in the dots. I am hypnotized.

[aQuArius]

39. hahahaha

What girls will do for a dance company photo, those costumes were ghastly.

[Bok_Tukalo]

40. Dance company?

I'm not sure I understand.
