Oh I forgot that I had neon pink legwarmers too!
I must have been damn hot at that wedding!
And NO I don't have any photos of it for you all to laugh histerically at! lol
I had an Electric Blue (metalic) suit. Of course, this had to be worn with one sleeve rolled up. (to roll both up would be stupid rolleyes ) Yellow Satin Shirt with thin black leather tie. Or if I was feeling really cool, a shoe string tie with a sherif badge. White socks and those shoes that show of your white socks.
When wearing your jeans (with obligatry silver chain linking two belt loops), you must ALWAYS wear your cowboy boots.
And say really cool things like, "If ya gonna die, die with ya boots on."
The 80's is what hairgel was invented for.
Man, was I cool.
