patricia Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 (edited) Holy man, Chris!!! You look downright conservative, compared to some of the '70's "looks" I remember. Polyester knit, right??? Just like wearing a sauna. Were your pants poly too?? And, tell me. Is that an ANKH???? Edited August 19, 2004 by patricia Quote
Christiern Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Posted August 19, 2004 Yes, Patricia, that is an ankh--I still have it. I'll try to dig up a photo of me in a less "conservative" outfit. I had a weird suede suit and my hair was longer, but I never went for the love beads. I think I'm wearing something rather awful in the Mingus "Triumph..." documentary. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Chris: Why do you have a black bat attached to your upper lip? Part of some sort of disco initiation prank? Also, where did your fashion sense lead you - jewelry-wise? Any bracelets? Large gold chains? Designer eyewear? What about shoes? Quote

Also, where did your fashion sense lead you - jewelry-wise? Any bracelets? Large gold chains? Designer eyewear? What about shoes? I almost forgot to ask about Chris' shoes. I wonder if they were platforms. I fell off a pair, walking down a slight grade, spraining an ankle, during that period. "Famolare" platforms [they had a script "f" on the side of the heel] were particularly hazardous. Each shoe weighed about a pound and the heel was about 4" above the sidewalk. That in itself would have been OK. I'm used to wearing regular high-heels, but the rest of the shoe's sole was about 2" above the sidewalk, so it was difficult to judge where the sole of one's foot was, in relation to the sidewalk.

Christiern Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Posted August 19, 2004 Love that boot, Patricia! No, I never wore platforms. Chaney, my moustache changed with my sideburns and coiffure. Never was much into jewelry, except a watch, but I did wear a medallion or something around my neck for a while. BTW, Ira Gitler is still wearing his! Here's a different hair style--it is from 1976, when my partner, Verta Mae Grosvenor and I did a weekly cable TV show called "Doin' It." Quote
patricia Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 (edited) Good grief, Chris!! Did you rent some of that extra head-fur?? You had hair where most people don't even have places for hair. I'm impressed!! B-) At the same time that you were top-heavy, I affected the Mia Farrow look, going to my father's barber to get the back just right. As a matter of fact, the year I got married, my hair was so short that it dried in about five minutes. It was about two inches long on the top and barbered [short back and sides]. That was coupled with four inch gold hoop earrings, every day, although nobody had more than one hole in each ear. I also wore a LOT of eye-makeup. My wedding dress, in 1969, was a mid-thigh mini, with bell sleeves, that was a real wedding dress, white brocade, with flowers in my very short hair, instead of a veil and satin chunky-heeled shoes to match. I looked like a little kid, toes turned slightly inward in the wedding portraits. My girls are facinated by them, thinking, until they saw them that I always dressed the way that I do now [silk shirts, pressed jeans, tailored pants, suits..................like that].

Bright Moments Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 Just exactly how stoned does a young woman have to get, before "I know, I'll just put on two strips of duct tape and go to the party" begins to sound like a good idea? Quote

Jazzmoose Posted September 9, 2004 Report Posted September 9, 2004 Why do men insist on wearing a little boy's cap??? Many do it because they're hiding a bald spot. Sigh. A half answer that will mislead those who have all their hair. Yes, we wear hats to hide our bald spots (though I go with a cheap cloth fedora, not a baseball cap. I love to hear the whispered comments of "pretentious bastard!" ), but we're not hiding our bald spots from our fellow humans, but from the sun. Just wait until you guys are getting thin, you'll find out! Quote
Bright Moments Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 oh no! a new fashion trend!!! Quote
