I entered the 1980s in my mid teens and left it in my mid twenties. It was a good decade for me and, yes, I also did the 50s retro vibe happening at the time.
My girlfriend at the time and I, late 1980s. I'm wearing a Levi trucker jacket, Levi chinos worn with a leopard print Western belt...
Nice plain face, looks like it was inspired by Swiss train station clocks. And I like that red second hand, looks classy. The case, though, reminds me of my old boy scout compass.
Regarding a down vest, a la Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future, you could check out L.L. Bean. They sell these in the 'retro' hunting / trail styles and they do a nice line in red, orange and brown hues.
Get a old M65 field jacket (think Rambo I or Flashdance with Jennifer Beal wearing one).
For 1980s denim, can't beat a old store brand J.C. Penney Plain Pockets trucker jacket. I prefer my old blue J. C. Penney denim jacket but if you're looking for authentic 1980s style it just has to be ice...
They are designed to bio-degrade when thrown away, much like the modern plastic bags. They are designed to break up once they get thrown out and buried in the landfill sites but often they'll start to fall apart while still being used. I believe it happens if they become damp or wet as that...
Oh, I have watched his films as I'm a fan of the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta and Uma Thurman. I just don't 'get' his enfant terrible persona that he puts across in interviews and making films for the sake of violence isn't what I'm looking for, though it is a popular genre I admit...
They are showing a rerun of Due South here on TV again, a show that I greatly enjoyed first time round (I can't believe that it came out nearly 25 years ago.....damn I'm old). Always thought that it was a funny show and that Paul Gross and David Marciano worked well as a team, along with the dog...
I'm still catching up on the Christmas taped movie backlog.
I watched two RomComs from the early 2000s; Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) and Love Actually (2003). Renee Zellweger is always fun to watch as Bridget and I have always enjoyed the impossibly cool actors Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, who...
I taped the new BBC three part mini series The ABC Murders over the Christmas period and was looking forwards to watching this as I am such a big Poirot (David Suchet era only, mind you) fan. The BBC series has little in common with the Suchet Poirot films, though its darker undertones echo the...
I'm going through the films I that had taped over the Christmas season.
I watched The Revenant starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy. Though based on a true story, the real events did not take place in the mountains in winter. I seriously doubt that the main character, Hugh Glass (DiCaprio)...
The 'Christmas' tree, or fir tree, far from being a 'wretched custom' as you put it, is actually a Christian symbol of the resurrected and immortality of Jesus Christ.
