Claim: 2017's Big Fashion/Pop Trend Will Be 80s Forever
Two fashion analystas are projecting that 2017 is going to make 1987 look like 1983 or whatever. I have no idea how that joke is supposed to go.The [Pinterest in-house trend analysis] team has analyzed the trends that have seen the most year-over-year pinning growth over the past year and that seem primed to peak in 2017. Among their forecasts is the belle sleeve top silhouette taking over the off-the-shoulder look, an even more heated interest in flair (as in things like stickers and pins), and of course, more '80s. "Other big shifts were in political Ts (no surprise there), backless shoes--and not just the mule--and multiple earrings," writes WWD. "That goes hand-in-hand with the popularity of Eighties-style trends, such as high-tops, peg legs and denim skirts." Meanwhile, retail analytic firm Edited is also forecasting trend temperatures in the '80s as well. "The 1980s will be huge--everything from power suits and slouchy tailored trousers for office wear, through to off-the-shoulder looks, activewear and [over-the-top] ruffles," the report stated.Okay, I wouldn't mind denim skirts. And feather earrings. Anything kind of riding the line between "slutty mall-rat" and "slutty whore." The article notes that Hollywood is rebooting Dynasty. By the way, I bought some Vans a few months ago. The brand's been resuscitated, if you didn't know. J. Crew sells them, and they have their own store too.

Yes, but in the past writers at least had the creativity to tell the same old stories in different, interesting ways. That's how , say, a "Romeo and Juliet" would become a "West Side Story." They didn't just keep making "Romeo and Juliet" over and over again...

Just like the new Celebrity Apprentice. They think they can simply plunk into the title role , a has been severely wrinkled steroid faded weight lifter who real Austrian accent sounds fake and who helped destroy a state as Gov. while married to a Kennedy while he was banging the nanny.
I saw a brief pan of the lineup of "celebrities". Didn't know several of them and all look like they all use tattoo parlors and what's left of mall Claire stores to get yet another piercing after they leave their third counseling session of the week.

==================
It represents absolutely everything that's wrong with musicals. The songs never add anything to the story, they're almost always complete side shows. The dancing becomes the point instead of the story. Also, they got Shakespeare wrong.
How do you get Shakespeare wrong? By completely missing the point and have Juliet give a speech as she walks away.
It's like a bad action movie that fills the running time with action sequences that add nothing to the story in any way shape or form, but because it's music and dance, people praise it's complete lack of keeping on point. It's a meandering mess of a film.

I'm totally going to start wearing acid-wash jeans with Chuck Taylors and Ocean Pacific t-shirts again. I was just starting to feel midlife crisis-ish but it'll be like 6th grade all over again!
Oh, and remember those stores where you'd drip paint on a t-shirt or sweatshirt, and they'd spin them around in some machine so the paint would swirl out into a cool design? Can't remember what that was called but bring that back too.

Funny how whenever the horrors of domestic abuse are mentioned, the feminists never can seem to drum up any mention or care that Phil Hartman was killed by his wife.
Supposedly it was Andy Dick that (re?-)introduced cocaine to Hartman's wife.
He was funny on that show, but in a "feckless shitweasel who's very probably a horrible person IRL" vibe. Though I did like the episode where he was a dentist.

So, that's we have finally arrived in American culture. It's the 37th century AD (or whatever it is now), and we're still rebooting The Jeffersons. What next -- The Glenn Campbell Goodtime Hour? Pink Lady and Jeff? The possibilities for unoriginality are endless!

The heyday of the "Gibson Girl" was from the 1890s (especially) through about the beginning of the Great War, when a slimmer fashion in women began to take over.
One of the many models who posed for Gibson was the notorious Evelyn Nesbit, famed as the spark which caused Harry Thaw to put a bullet in Stanford White's brain:

==================
It represents absolutely everything that's wrong with musicals. The songs never add anything to the story, they're almost always complete side shows. The dancing becomes the point instead of the story. Also, they got Shakespeare wrong.
How do you get Shakespeare wrong? By completely missing the point and have Juliet give a speech as she walks away.
It's like a bad action movie that fills the running time with action sequences that add nothing to the story in any way shape or form, but because it's music and dance, people praise it's complete lack of keeping on point. It's a meandering mess of a film.

So, dishwasher was to be delivered between 8:00 and noon today. Placed three (3) calls to Best Buy to find out where it was. Finally get a call back that, "Oh, sorry. Somehow your delivery was cancelled. We'll get it to you on Thursday between 8:00 and noon." This was 5 minutes ago.
I expressed my displeasure.
Then, construction guys were to be here at 8:00 this morning to finish exterior repairs to hurricane damage. They just showed up (3:10 p.m.).
I'm so pissed I have steam coming out of my ears.

IIRC, there was a big swing dancing thing here in Austin back in the early 00's. Didn't last long. Zoot suits and 2 tone wing tips aren't cheap I guess, rare/hard to find.

Swing dancing is still pretty big in a lot of places. There's two venues that I know of here in SoCal, and Denver has a decent scene as well. It's mostly confined to college students, however.

Before they went super angry in the 90's, Pantera was your standard 80's hair and spandex band but so much better IMO. Dime was taken so early.. so sad
Anyway, I've been listening to 80's music for as long as I've liked music. so that's 30 years or so.
I was wondering if the 80's would make a triumphant return since Trump got the Presidency. There are some similarities musically speaking. Songs were generally happier in the 80's (Stevie Ray Vaughan completely reinvigorated blues too) then the Clinton 90's ushered in total whiny rubbish like Nirvana, and Nine inch Nails, smashing Pumkins... Reagan was an actor, Trump was/is a personality on a TV show and generally loves this country (so it seems anyway) as did Reagan.
Call me crazy but these kinds of connections gives me hope for the future.

There's been studies about how musical trends and movies relate to Presidential terms. Like the gas-guzzling hot rod flicks in the Carter era, or the big business tropes in Reagan's.
Not sure if there's much there there or if it's all specious reasoning and selective bias and stuff, but it's fun to look at.

Vans were comfy, but having rubber and suede everywhere did not breathe well at all and led to eventual swamp foot smell.
Chuck Taylor low-tops were pro-tier submarine underway shoes. Thin canvas and a sock full of foot powder was heavenly, plus you could stash them anywhere.
Of course, both led to the hilarious cartoon flappy slappy archless duck feet I have today. Je ne regrette rien.

I remember washing cotton sweaters in the '80's and ending up with shoulder pads that had lost their shapes. You'd end up looking like you had some weird growths on your shoulders and if you cut out the pads, the sweater wouldn't fit right.
Sweater dresses, however, were quite cool. I remember a black cashmere one I had that was the best little black dress I ever owned.

That's how the Starship got to record it....
Another great-bad song is "MacArthur Park." So over-wrought and ridiculous.
And "Total Eclipse of the Heart," but I think that one makes it work.

you could not pop the collars on izod shirts, they were too long, only on polo shirts.
Posted by: yankeefifth at January 03, 2017 03:25 PM (cPsPa)
spread collars gained ascendency in the '90s from formal wear and then as an indicator of bespoke shirts. now every low reporter wears one looking like his head's on a pike, knot askew, class pretensions blaring. it really is a bit much.

That's media-manufactured bullshit. There are far, far worse songs from the 80s, like that anti-war n-n-n-n-nineteen one.

Liberals are ecstatic in their mocking.
I'm just shaking my head, wondering, "WTF?"
Assuming the press report is true (I know, I know it's a big-ass assumption!), there was obviously a serious violation of BASIC gun safety somewhere.
So, I'm more pissed at the stupidity, than anything.
Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at January 03, 2017 03:20 PM (8iiMU)
The article this morning said the kid was handling it when it "went off."
Now, you don't hand a loaded weapon to somebody who has no idea how to handle it, nor do you stand down range... but this is standard pet peeve material:
THE GUN DID NOT "GO OFF!" Somebody put a finger on the trigger and squeezed.
I am wondering though... is there more to the story. Maybe a not-so-accidental discharge??

shirt collars never go away they simply wax and wane in popularity.
really offensive is 70 style huge collars and wide ties that were like silk bibs.
everyone wearing 60s style skinny lapels and ties is irritating.

Would love some 80s-type clothes too, some, not all, and oh yes, may I please have my 80s figure back thank you very much.

I'm not a gun guy. But to me something like the mantra of "treat every gun like its loaded" means don't stand in front of someone so the barrel can point at you.

When we played in the backyard, the phrase I heard most was, "Why you gotta hit so hard?"

Vans were skateboarding shoes, gum rubber soles and suede uppers with rubber under the suede for protection against abrasion wear. Once they got their cachet, they probably branched out into less utilitarian and more fashion design like every other clothing company.

Not to mention that "tight suit that looks like it belongs to the wearer's younger brother" look, with the tie showing like a pointed penis below the suit coat. "Hey, people, look at Cary Grant. That's what you should copy. Now go."
