Hello, Ladies!
Was it the pleated, acid-washed jeans? The Flowbee-style haircut? Or perhaps that faint whiff of Old Spice mixed with Clearasil?
No one knows for sure, but somehow I was really able to reel in the ladies with large prints on their dresses and even larger hair in the ’80s. Case in point below:
Hello, Ladies!
Sadly John never had these made as promised
31 Jul 2008 John
that is my wedding reception, 1991. Had fake nails for the first and last time, chewed them off on the honeymoon. UGH!!!
I thought it was early ’90s as well. But my wife Patti convinced me that it had to be the ’80s because “no one was wearing acid-washed jeans in the ’90s.”
I’d like to introduce her to John Marcotte, fashion trend setter.
Well, at least none of the Nirvana/Pearl Jam-listening cool people in Seattle were wearing them in the 90’s. Maybe it was a “St. Louis thing.”
I still love that it was a wedding reception and John wore his best acid-washed jeans. Classy.
I remember this day well. It was my second date with Steve and the first time I met the whole family.
Wow John! Those are some fancy pants! I think my Grandma has some pants similar to those but hers are polyester.
Let’s leave my jeans out of this for a moment, and turn our focus where it belongs: Katie’s hair.
