Drivers License wearing a feather boa??? That must have been a prop of photographer’s way back when. Don’t we wish we could have kept our old drivers license. Maybe not.
I remember having my picture made at the beauty shop (I know that sounds sooo wrong now) and they draped a pink feather boa around my neck. This was in the 70’s and I hadn’t had a picture made in years. I was so proud of that picture and even gave one to my parents. I found that picture in my 92 yr old father’s wallet. I guess his friends thought his daughter worked in a dance hall.
My how styles change.

Wow………too funny. Love it, love it. Brings back memories. That snazzy black and gold outfit sure looks like something a Trojan cheerleader might wear. And Russ, words escape me at the moment but you two were just the cutest couple then and still are. I remember the pink sponge rollers. When we moved Jim exclaimed they must be multiplying being left along in those dark places. Every time he opened a drawer he found one of those darn rollers and we would laugh.
Love the picture.

I’m sure there’s photographic evidence. But, um… you know how things get lost during a move… (she shifts uncomfortably in her chair)

blondie– Yes, sadly I would imagine you DO remember this outfit… despite years of therapy to block out the memory! And if you can dig up a picture of YOU with the pink-sponge-roller-hairdo extravaganza, you KNOW I will post it!

Oh dear! Yes, speechless…(as I race through my photos albums looking for evidence to tear up and toss!)

LOL I almost did a spit take with my coffee Tori when I actually saw the picture. I was reading what you had typed and then scrolled down. ROTFL Thanks for the laugh – I needed that!

Thanks for making me laugh

I’m slightly scared that, in this part of England at least, the fashion of the 80s seems to be making a bit of a comeback. I try not to make my smirks to obvious when I walk past some people in the shops, but don’t know how successful I am.

I think you should blow it up & display it. That would really make you stop & think before getting a tattoo, now wouldn’t it?

Feather boa….?

Oh my goodness, I TOTALLY remember this outfit! For some reason this makes me think of the head-full of pink sponge curlers that I dutifully rolled out and meticulously pulled apart to create a mop of hair, per your instructions. (don’t forget the BIG bow to set it off!) I learned two or three “happenin” hair-dos from you during those instructional evenings at Aunt June’s. Too Funny!

Judging by what I can see of Russ’s face, I’m tempted to trace this to…’87 or thereabouts. By the way…when exactly did Russ lose the ‘stache? Maybe this is my youth showing, but I kind of miss it.

Bahahahahahahaha!!! I don’t mean to………..bahahahahahaha….to laugh so…..bahahahahaha….laugh so hard, but this is…..HILARIOUS! And you added a big ass hair bow to that ensemble??? What makes it so funny is that you are so fashionable now and I can’t imagine what………well, nevermind. But you are a cute little bumble bee! And Russ has been stung obviously!

I’d have to say I think I took it on this one, but not by a very wide margin:

Russ WAS rockin’ a major mullet, a Medals pin and one of those “What was THAT about?” dangly silver-tipped belt thingys that an L.A. stylist brought in for a photo shoot and made Russ feel very, very cool…
