Continuing the pernicious meme started by gwen_the_potter and krazyfiberkat...

This was high middle class fashion when I was ten years old... (As in "high fashion among the middle class", not "you had to be high to wear that stuff even if does seem so today".) I even had some clothes in that style and liked it. I really should scan in some of the pictures I have of me from that era, nobody today would believe the clothes I wore willingly!

But about my attempt to create a "Rhinestone Cowboy" outfit, the less said the better. I don't think there are any surviving pictures of that fashion disaster. (Crosses fingers.)

Of course, any moment now hrollaug and tradarcher will be along to explain how all they had were these newfangled inventions "stone knives" and "bearskins" and how they had to had to walk uphill both ways in six feet of snow to get them. And they _liked_ it! :) :) :)

You young people have it so easy. Why back in my days....
Those new "stone knives" were dull. I just want to rip the skin off of the animal whose throat I ripped out with teeth.
And it wasn't six feet in snow uphill. It was 6o feet climbing, in a howling snowy gale, up a rock cliff. And we loved it.

And I should add we did it in our bare feet. Not this "shoes" nonsense

Bravo! Right on cue with an Academy Award winning performance! :)

Rhinestone Cowboy outfit?? I think I hurt my brain trying to think if I remebered an attempt at such a thing. I guess you're lucky I don't, or I might describe it here.

My little sister skills are damn rusty!

worse yet, I continued through the link and got teary eyed. Not because I recall wearing clothes like this, but worse, I recall wearing these clothes about 4 years later, when my cousin outgrew them.
