Doc Holliday Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Whilst trawling the web I came across this photo - http://www.maniacworld.com/four-popped-collars-cool.html and it reminded me of when I was 17 or 18 and walking down Rocky Hill in Maidstone one night wearing my shades. I thought I looked the dogs and my swagger most probably conveyed that but in reality I probably looked a complete tool. So let's have a bit of honesty here guys. What did you do in your younger years in a bid to look cool but now has you cringing on reflection? I can't wait to hear some of the responses.

Imperfection Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 In the early 80's i had blond highlighted hair,a rats tail (a tiny pony tail) and a crucifix ear ring.I looked the fashion king when wearing my red denim jacket. Ironically,i now wet shave my head and look similar to Uncle Fester so im not sure which is worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Permed hair. Leg warmers (the woollen things that went around your ankles and over your trousers). Not sure where that craze came from. Was it Flashdance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
