Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.
If you don’t have a good story, you are encouraged to make one up.
What was the worst style choice you ever made?
Back in college, I made the mistake of going to a Spanish class with a 6-fingered glove on my right hand.
Black leather collar with spikes.
Nothing. Ever.
EVERY style choice I’ve ever made has been 100% perfect and trend-setting, still is, and will always continue to be.
Bank on it.
But I will still, for fun, tinker with the nasal hair-back hair-eyebrows-armpits-chest hair turbo mohawk/mullet/jeri curls look. (Maybe more cologne?)
I once wore a MAGA hat in modern America.
I went streaking wearing nothing but a Nixon mask.
Maroon double-knit bell-bottoms…
Mine is similar to Bob B’s. I had a date back in graduate school (during the Coolidge administration). I wanted to look good for it, so I went out to buy some pants that weren’t jeans. The best thing that I could find was a pair of bell-bottom pants with a houndstooth check. I’m not sure whether they were double-knit or not, mostly because I’m not sure you could produce a houndstooth check in a double-knit fabric. To top it off, my date stood me up. As I recall, it was part of an eight-day period during which I got stood up three times. I believe that I still hold the Pacific 8/10/12 record for getting stood up. Now, of course, as a software developer who drives a 1998 Toyota Corolla, I get all the hot chicks.
In my younger years, I kind-of went through a phase that allowed my brother to semi-accurately describe me as “the Jackson Pollock of fashion–colors all over everywhere and none of it means a damned thing.”
I was also more likely to be sporting suspenders than a belt at the time, so there’s that, too.
