Mission Control

[Gilbert Milton Snodgrass]

Salutations folks! New to the scene and working on adding more vintage to my collection. I’m really obsessed with the “Mission Control” look and nerds of the 50s/60s! Thick glasses! Skinny ties! Highwater pants! Short sleeve shirts!

And of course, the piece de resistance:
POCKET PROTECTORS.

Anybody else into this aesthetic? I just think it’s so nifty!

I remember it only too well: it was the look of all the high school administrators who suspended me from school.

Yeah. . . they were still dressing like that in the '80s.

Yes! The 1950s nerd look as filtered through the 1980s is my FAVORITE. Look at Revenge of the Nerds. They’re killing it!
