All Mod Cons (The Jam)
In honor of my newly replenished iPod workout playlist (734 songs--only around 2 gigs so far and counting--as opposed to the 182 songs that used to fill it to capacity) here's a meme I pilfered from somewhere so long ago that I don't even recall where it came from. Yeah, it's kind of silly, but most memes are, aren't they? And some of the entries are rather spot on, if I do say so myself!
Enjoy!

This is hilarious, and I'm thinking I just might have to borrow it for my blog!
Good grief, how could y'all do anything in dresses so short! I can't even imagine that! Y'all look great, though. :-)
LOL, ewok!
Actually, I scanned a bunch of old photos of the band, and I'm planning to do some entries devoted to it. But the dresses were quite the attraction at the time. It was a year or two before minis came back in style. Guys used to stand at the foot of the stage and try to look up the dresses... the thing is, we always wore tights (or sometimes Gael--the tall one--wore fishnets) AND dance trunks, so there were several layers between what the guys hoped to see and what they actually GOT to see...
I just remember being in high school and wearing a huge, long sweater with some sort of leggings or something, as was the style circa 1991. My mom eyed me, then said, "You know, I used to wear dresses shorter than that!"
Naturally, I was appalled to think of my mom in one of those micro-minis of the 60s.
I asked her how she could do anything in such a short skirt. She said, "Very carefully! And you couldn't bend over." LOL!
Oh yeah, there was a specific technique for getting into and out of a car!
