As I don't sleep so well, my mind overruns with memories good and bad

Any way

How many of you had platform shoes and Bell bottom pants back in the day


Being short I have had a lot of comments when the conversation came about how it must have been odd to be normal in height with every one

I just reply I had them of course, they added 3 to 4 inches to my height depending which pair i was wearing

but since Everly one else was wearing them also )made no difference Lol


I kept them for a long time the bell bottom pants and platform shoes as just keepsakes to the trends of days gone by.

but many years ago my wife threw all them away while I was at work one day

I did not notice for some time as they had been put up for yrs and when I discovered it yes I was upset but nothing I could do lol

    Yes had the shoes plus the outfit to go with them.

    My wife and I were dating and we were at a different club every weekend.

    I was managing the bakery deliveries for a local grocery store chain so had to be at bakery for 3 am to make sure trucks were loaded correctly.

    I used to drop now wife off at 2 am and head straight to work. Those were long days but it is amazing what you can do when you are 25 years old.

    I had a leisure suit, but no big shoes. My feet were big enough. 😁

    Those polyester shirts would just about erupt and melt into a huge blackened hole when a live ash from a cigarette landed on them. Would leave an awful 2nd degree burn on your chest if you went without a heavy T shirt. Ask me how I know this! 😲

    Yup, went through that during my HS years in the 70's. We were the kids that were into rock music and hanging out.
