View Full Version : The way We Were ...
Okey doke, while not all of us have wedding pics, we all have pics from the past. They maybe pics we'd rather forget, like when we all had big hair, coloured hair ... any hair!!!
Lets see your most hideous outfits & your worst fashion faux pas.
I have several ridiculous ones and heres a couple to start us off.
Unfortunately my camera was as poor as my fashion sense...

This was from 1976 ish

Nearly all my old photos are band shots.
Here's me in 1977 after my first ever gig:

My 'official' publicity shot from the Butlins band in 1979 sporting girlie shirt and hairdo (and strap back to front Doh!):

With the Outlaws...a very, very naughty band.
I don't know how my first marriage survived any of this band :gag:

and me far right at the Burnley Blues Festival early Nineties (the decade, not my age):
http://www.steve-perks.com/gfx/forumposts/burnleyblues1.jpg
Ok, some of these photos are taken before I existed. :P

so why are you still on the puter matt, go get it! I wanna see buff,lol ;) :D
Well I have always had long beautiful hair, whether it's red, blonde, brown or all combined, it's always been long. This is me when I was around 22 and going through my "short hair" phase,lol. Short hair was in at the time along with jeans that went WAY too high,lol. As you can see why, I have never EVER gone back to short hair again,lol :lol: It looked horrible!!!!

Jewel, you're too modest! And Glo, your first pic - let me guess, Marc Almond had just released Tainted Love? Or Pyjamarama had released another God-awful single? ;)

Here are a few of me when I was younger:
Aged 7, Holy Communion. These were the only grey shorts in the whole of Birkenhead that would fit me. I had large thighs for a 7 year old! So I was told.
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e358/Torontoblue/scan0024.jpg
I'm the fat lad in the middle. This was about 1988 (I was 18) in a rock club called Stairways, in Birkenhead. The woman to my immediate left is now my Auntie after I introduced her to my Uncle. Obviously.:thinking:
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e358/Torontoblue/scan0028.jpg
Finally, me drunk on champagne and calvados, Christmas 1989, in Palma.

Ok - are you ready for a laugh? :lol: You did ask for bad hairstyles etc... well I've had plenty in every style and every colour (except blonde :) )
1. Taken about 1988 when I was 16 with a H-U-G-E curly perm (and I thought it looked sooooo hip n trendy back then :lol:)
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e133/minimeeze/80s-hair.jpg
2. looking even worse in 1993 when I went for a bob (in the days before hair straighteners!)
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e133/minimeeze/bad-hair.jpg
3. then I decided to have it all chopped off and went for the uber short look in about 1998:

Safe to say I was a cute baby, shame I grew out of it. :( Also don't go blaming my mum for neglect letting me grow my hair that long... From what im told I threw a tantrum if anyone tried to cut it, and they wouldn't risk injuring me. :)
