    The rest of their school day was NOT, however, filled with those same smiles.

    And an ER visit, for an anal bow-tie extraction, was how it ended. Sad.

    I wish I could have the plaid pants along with the plaid coat. Now that would be a match made in polyester heaven!

    Oh styles so sucked in that era. From platform shoes to polyester I hated it all.

    That bow tie is gonna be trouble if there’s a strong breeze. Combined with those lapels the poor kid could wind up taking flight, and who knows where he would land.

    Maybe the adult styles were bad then but the kids (when dressed casually) looked a lot cooler than the pansies of today.
