Throwback Thursday - 1980’s Powder Blue Polyester Suit

 Throwback Thursday - 1980’s Powder Blue Polyester Suit

Looked cool in my Trans-Am

Okay, so you wanted embarrassing.  Here we go.  This one was randomly picked from the photo box.

This was taken at my mother’s wedding.   How about this 1980’s, powder blue, polyester suit?  I think it was the same suit I wore in this throwback.  Do you think the powder blue polyester suit will come back into style?  I will bet $100 it will.

Close Up

Next to me is my “girlfriend”.  We had just gotten done taking the white Trans-Am for a spin around the playground when this picture was taken.  We had Van Halen cranked up on the 8-track.  This was the cool David Lee Roth era, not the loser Sammy Hagar era.  (Side note:  Mr. Hagar has recently admitted to being abducted by aliens (see here).  He says they downloaded software into his brain.  Something tells me he had too many non-prescription drugs when he was younger.)


White On White

My stepdad is sporting the white pants, white shoes, white shirt, white tie, white jacket, etc (screams Miami Vice).  Did I mention he had a white 1980’s TransAm (damn that was a cool car).  Did I also mention he liked white?  With all that white you would think he would look like a dork but I think he looks pretty bad butt.  The shades make him look cool.  Funny those shades are coming back into style.

  9. Hmmmm...that looks more like a Camaro Berlinetta than a Trans Am. Given the wild 80's "high tech" dash boards in some of those, the Berlinetta is more of an 80's statement.
