These photos are disturbing on multiple levels.

If you think those are disturbing….
You should see my wedding pictures.
Then again….
Mooseknuckles?
Yee gods!
Hank
hahahahahahaha!! “mooseknuckle”!
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
Maybe I’ve been drinking too much, but I am far too disturbed to laugh… Than again I have coulrophobia so y’all can forgive me for my irrational fear of 70s clothing.
MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once we get past the horrific mooseknuckles – check out the chick in the apple-tree sweater in the second photo. LOOK at her white socks pulled up. And her … knickers? Or are they dickies tucked into the socks? It’s a HORRIBLE look. It makes me feel itchy.
Mainly because I recognize it, and remember it. I emulated that look many many times in my grade school days. (When I wasn’t wearing a bonnet like Laura Ingalls Wilder, that is)
Talk about disturbing, Sheila…I think somebody at Yahoo reads your blog and knew you’d appreciate a tidy arrangement with all the links compiled in one convenient place.
Sorry to go OT, but I figured the subject at hand was always permitted.
I would so wear the orange sleeveless sweater with the flower. Is that disturbing?
In all honesty – that one could be cool in a retro way. And it would go with your hair.
The yellow smiley face one, though, is NEVER cool. Even if it was worn with withering irony.
jess — Thank God someone said that. I kinda like the orange one, too!
Tracey, nice to meet you. You’re my new best friend. And Sheila, when the day comes that I see a hipster wearing a sleeveless sweater with a smiley-face on it (and you know I will), I promise to kick them hard in the shins. In your honor.
hahahaha
Jess – if that yellow smiley bastard ever comes into style again, I might have to climb up into a clocktower. I hated it the first time around!
for those of us who live in “flyover” country, yes, the smiley yellow bastard is everywhere. He has become a tool of Wal-Mart – he’s in all the ads, he’s plastered all over the store. Lots of people have variants of him as “bobbers” on their car antennas.
That said, I don’t find those pictures (excepting the mooseknuckle) HALF as disturbing as some “current” fashion shots I’ve seen. Maybe I’m just a child of the 70s, but I’d rather see a smiling woman with ironed-flat hair wearing a sweater with a big tree on the front, than some angry-looking heroin-chic chick with red sparkly stuff smeared around her eyes dressed in some kind of glorified potato sack that the designer is using to make some kind of deep comment about politics.
I guess I liked fashion better when it was just stupid, rather than angry and stupid.
Hee hee, I’m going to have to agree with those who kinda like the orange flower sweater, it is a rose among thorns in that bunch. But sadly, the sweater and it’s model are guilty by association. She could have run when she had the chance, but she chose to between Smiley Boobs and Rainbow Brute. Unless she’s being held against her will. In that case, well, look how well Patty Hearst did after her ordeal.
Looking at these pictures is like getting kicked in the mooseknuckle.
Seriously, Lileks just woke up in a cold sweat without knowing why.
