Can you dig the super see-thru polyester man?

 

How cool were YOU in 1972, and what’s the whackiest thing you ever wore, besides to a fancy-dress party?

I never had an Afro but by God I had the jumpsuits — two purple ones in my wardrobe at the same time, and a purple hot pants and skirt set alongside those.

Had the platform shoes, too — black patent leather — but they were such a bitch to wear I needed a man on EACH arm.
If you’ve never stepped into those, just imagine trying to walk very far in ski boots and you’ll get the idea — your feet are too far from the ground to have any traction.

So anyway after seeing how that hobbled me I said to hell with it and gave the shoes to a cross-dressing friend; who was delighted.

But seriously, were you ever committed enough to fashion to wear a bump knit shrink with 100% texturised acetate?
