FLASHBACK FRIDAY 1987 ... Could I have picked a Worse outfit to wear? #wtf

Post by MetalSludgeCEO »

Flashback Friday... to 1987!

Wow... who approved this outfit? #wtf

It's actually much more gaudy than it appears here, there were blue chains hanging off my pants, and I was wearing some shiny boots from Retail Slut on Melrose that went up to my knees with a dozen random buckle straps.

A good challenge is to find outfits bands wore in '87 that still look cool today. Even the top bands, like Bon Jovi, look silly in pictures.

Of course looking back it is ridiculous... but no one would have given that a second thought in 1987. Just par for the course.

I don't think seeing TUFF today is worth it unless you get the full experience; spangles, sparkles, hot pink lips, and chrome dome. Wait, that has already nearly been copied:

It’s not terrible. If it were me I’d wear a cool pair of denim or leather pants and a tee. Maybe a cool necklace and some bracelets.

Hey CEO, is there something from that era that you kept? a jacket or a shirt or anything? It's always fascinating (for me) how some of the wardrobes are still intact after decades and from time to time pop up in auctions ...
