It’s like a meeting of the “future used car salesmen of America”.

The rest of October will be devoted to Halloween and Monster merchandising found throughout the 70’s, as our annual Halloween bash begins!.

Gotta love those ToughSkins. Those kids are are just a kerchief away from being Furley’s “Mini-Me” army.

I love this month.

I never thought of matching your plaid to your holiday spirit. Come to think of it, I wonder what an orange, black, purple, and green plaid would look like? The devil’s plaid.

Man. Those suits look like they’re made out of Grandma’s ribbon candy.

My husband had the one on the far left as a child. I had his picture somewhere recently of him wearing it. He also had the young Joey Lawrence dutchboy hair cut going on as well

Aaagh! Noooooooooooo! Even back in the day, plaid ToughSkins were a good enough reason to get your ass kicked. Thankfully, I don't remember wearing them. Maybe I did, but repeated concussions spared the horrible memories.
