Message: [QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 185497, member: 22283"] In my day we wore big bell bottoms and we would cut the hem off the bottom first (manditory two washings before wearing so they frayed nicely). We would wear these pants till they had holes in them and then we would sew cool patches over the holes, except for the knees...the bare knee was a status symbol. We also wore Julius' "Earth Boots" but only for Sunday-go-to-meetin', other than that we wore the low cut Converse tennis shoes which were of course in one of our school colors and the laces in the other. WE were the originators of Tie-Dye shirts!(we had to make our own) Some of us on the cutting edge of cool wore the deerskin vests with lots of tassles. For quite awhile we all wore the three strap boots with the rings on the sides, and taps were manditory! Until the Platform Shoe came along :eek: Now if you were mega cool and on the swim team, you HAD to have a pair of Mark Spitz starz-n-stripes Speedos! [/QUOTE]
