Maxed Out

Wait, who thought this ad campaign was a good idea? And I'm not even going to talk about the size and thickness of this pad. See for yourself on another from that era. (mid 1980's?)

I discovered these relics cleaning out our mountain cabin.

This would pretty much be a vote against ever wanting to time travel to the past. Yikes.

Lots of times, the pictures in fashion and teen magazines in the 80's depicted styles we never actually wore growing up. They were too flashy, too revealing, too crazy, and not in dress code at my school.

Now this, THIS is how we used to dress at school. Those rubber shoes were the jam on rainy days. Actually, not the bright green ones, but the blue or brown ones.

And we for sure "pegged" our jeans. And wore enormous sweaters. And that hat would have been pretty kickin', too, had it been allowed during school hours. That would have been more for a football game or visit to the mall.

More on this later... but for now, just enjoy the visual.
