The dreaded leisure suit/get-up is making a comeback?! Tell me I'm not sitting up, awake, in front of my computer; tell me, please, that this is a very.bad.dream.. I lived through this god-awful 'era' of that look, the one up there, in brown. It looked horrid on all men, without exception! It was the clothing of the so-called lounge lizards who pulled these too tight pants up and cinched it with a WHITE patent leather belt--yes, oh yes, oh god. Then they slithered into a shirt or shirt jacket, way way too tight, and the fabric was shiny, I tell you, shiny! in sartorial competition with the aforementioned reflective white belt and the matching white patent leather shoes, usually faux wing tip style. This cannot be allowed to happen, Molly. I have no connection with the world of what one should wear, so I beg you, try to get this trend side-tracked until it falls off the track completely and down into oblivion. Please, do what you can. Do whatever is necessary. But don't let the leisure suit in all its polyester awfulness reappear in any way shape or form. Now I need to go and lie down in a dark room for a bit. Just the mere thought has given me a headache of monumental proportions. and PS: I'm enjoying your website! This one, and your previous one (or other one), too. Thanks for all of your work in getting these blogs "out here." !! pbb Oh I can’t believe it! The dreaded leisure suit/get-up is making a comeback?!
