Whatever happened to "leg warmers"... (1 Viewer)

[Mitty]

If mullets return, I may be driven to violence.

Dude, you must be lucky enough to live in a mullet vacuum. Mullets are the hair helmet of choice for every slack-jawed, mouth-breathing suburbanite where I live.
It'd be funnier if it weren't true.

Clinton, yup, those little glorified rubber bands girls wear who have long enough hair for them. Could be worn on the wrist when not in the hair. See, it's multiuse and has outlived the leg warmers...

don't forget about your LeTigre shirt with the woven skinny tie, your Members Only jacket, and your Goody comb!

Dude, you described my everyday wardrobe in my senior year of high school.

Let's not forget the hot hair fashions the girls wore. And my hair has never looked better then it did when I wore a modified punked hairdoo (with the top standing up).

Where the hell is my Wang Chung album?!?!??!

Move along. Nothing to see here, just a double post.

So you guys think leg warmers are sexy? Why couldn't it have been G'rilla socks or Toe socks? At least I liked those... Leg warmers are just stupid.

Sigh....now I know why I'm still single. :frowning:

yes, Capezios!! Whenever I had trouble with the moonwalk, I would go to the old reliable big Cs. Showstopper everytime...
I think perhaps leg warmers were one of the more short-lived fashons weren't they? I don't remember them lasting that long.
ahh, all this talk is making me want to go out in the garage with a big piece of cardboard and bust a move.
wait a minute - is Breakin 2 - Electric Boogaloo out on DVD yet?

Personally, I really liked leggings--those thin skintight pants that showed EVERY curve.....

Ah! *highfive* And here I thought I was the only one...

New Mexico has its share of Mullets. Mostly, they are Fe-Mullets, worn by lesbians.

Women with mullets. Not an attractive image.
But the worst are the little boys you see with mullets, too young to realize what their parents have inflicted on them. Their fathers, walk alongside them, beaming with mullet-headed pride. They're oughtta be something we, as a society, can do for those poor children.

In the 80's at all the female bi and gay would wear black tight leggins. If she was fat or skinny they looked hot!

It's gotta come back,I noticed it went out around 1990.

When I think of leg warmers I have to laugh, I was young when they were hip, and I never wanted a pair. I remember the ones that were like the colors of the rainbow...yikes! I mostly remember them from that movie..Flash Dance some things should just be kept off the streets and out of the public eye.

 

[Clinton McClure]

Yeah, Jay. I think scrungees are sexy, whether worn in the hair or on the wrist.

glorified rubber band

he he he...

Very amusing site re mullets:

I am not afraid to lift my Bud Light above my head and let my voice ring like a clarion calling for "Freebird"! Let them wonder why I can't be anywhere with live music without calling for "Freebird". I am not ashamed. I will not hide from "Freebird". In between songs, I will lift my voice as though it were a choir of angels, singing with one accord: "Freebird!" "Freebird!" "Freebird!" Who dares deny my ears this magnificent musical opus? Never you mind that your band is an acoustic guitar duo playing at a festival or a Dixieland jazz band. I haven't time for your excuses. Play "Freebird" and be quick about it! Or perchance you lack the ability to execute this masterpiece of Southern rock? And think not of cutting short the 8 minute solo! Do you venture to desecrate this masterwork of Lynyrd Skynyrd? Make way, miscreants, for if you will not play "Freebird", I will sing it myself, acapella. Never you mind that I know very few of the actual words to the song!

That's a pet peeve of mine. Message for parents: Never, I mean NEVER, give your boys to have long hair haircut. Others will mistake your child for a girl and it will cause him a complex that may require therapy in the future. The John Stamos (and his fictional children's on Full House) look is dead!
