[The Backlash Cometh]

No, I'm not talking about the protests. I'm talking about flared jeans! They're back!

1. Bell Bottoms! That's what we called them. I loved them. n/t

[physioex]

2. I am not into fashion....

But I always figured that stuff was cyclical.

3. A pair of those almost killed me one time. My tennis shoe

caught in the other leg and I was about to go down the back 5 steps to take a double armload of empty glass canning jars to the basement. I couldn't get my foot loose so I threw the jars forward and my body off the side of the porch which was around 4 feet high. When I hit, I rolled my body cause I'd read that will help break a fall like that. I didn't get hurt but the next morning, every part of my body hurt from my neck down.

6. I once had them get caught on my bicycle pedal and went flying off my bike.

They should come with warnings ;)

9. I once made an almost fatal fashion decision when I wore cuffed flared pants and

disco spikes. Yup. the spike heel of one shoe caught into the cuff of the pant leg and I went sprawling. I thought it was hilarious. My partner, on the other hand, was not into laughing at life's unexpected misadventures.

4. Oh God next double knit leisure suits will be back

:puke:

10. It will be easier to spot the lounge lizards.

12. Someone convinced me to buy a leisure suit back then , I never

could bring myself to wearing it. I finally gave it to the Salvation Army, it is probably still
hanging in their thrift store after 35 years.

5. ugh.

fashion designers have been trying to sell flared jeans every couple years for that past decade or so. Thankfully no one takes the bait...

7. There is a lot about the 60s I remember with fondness...

"Fashion" really wasn't among those....

8. Flares or bell bottoms?

Cowboy cut jeans never left

11. Bell bottoms combined with hip huggers.

13. Aw, I was hoping you were talking about the music.

Now, THAT would be something to write home about.

14. Hendrix, Joplin...

Now that you mention it, I'm hearing less Christian music and more sixties, seventies and eighty revivals on the radio.
