Back to Basics

They say fashion is cyclical, how come I still can’t own a fine jacket such as these without it smelling like Value Village?

DVD Day: In terms of 70’s stuff, there isn’t a heck of a lot to mention this week but if you were a teen in the eighties then the High School Flashback Collection which consists of three of John Hughes classics Sixteen Candles, Weird Science and The Breakfast Club is up your alley. I am most fond of Weird Science and can still act it out from memory. I am available for birthday parties and barmitzvahs, thank you.

    I don’t think that 16 Candles or Weird Science should be with the Breakfast Club.

    The former are decent films, but BC is a bit more dramatic (if a tad sappy).

    I’ll wait for the John Cusak collection featuring Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer and Say Anything.

    If you stare at those jackets long enough, you can see through time…

    shocking but true, but even 70s-era black guys can be dorks.
