80’s Arcade Attire
I often try to explain to my young wife that fashions that are popping up now- big dorky glasses, long haircuts, etc, were all in vogue in the late 70’s and early 80’s. One thing that has never come back into style yet have been the short gymshorts nor the knee-high colored socks.
Everyone had Nike’s back in the day, and you got teased mercilessly if your Mom bought you Adidas or Converse shoes. And spending our time indoors pumping quarters into games like Galaga, PacMan, Q-Bert and Dragon’s Lair is how we kept our skin so pasty white.
Hey, we were all avoiding the currently popular man-made Eco Hoax of the Ozone Layer holes.
I remember getting made fun of for wearing the converse all star shoes in elementary, then in high school everybody was wearing them.
