Has anyone ever seen liquid metallic lame bodysuits that are made of 100% polyester with the soft, silky, satiny insides sold in stores or worn by different people in the past?

See pics below!

You mean they actually sold shiny liquid lame' bodysuits made of the silky 100% polyester fabric with the glossy silky feeling inside backings similar to the pics I posted at the Lerner's clothing store back in the mid 80's? Got any old pics of them? (If not, don't worry!)
 
In the UK, there was a very raunchy dance group in the 80's called Hot Gossip. They were pretty outrageous even by todays standards. They would have worn this kind of thing to great effect :embaressed:

Yep, and jackets and harem pants and skirts. No pics, sorry!

yes i too wore such things in the late 80s!!!

I was born in 83.... we actually wore them for our little marching baton twirling group, whatever they were called and I think I even had a turtle neck like shirt exactly the same!

I knew it was totally 80s... I think they were trying to jump into the future, you know terminator, running man, total recall, all those movies (funny I picked on Arnold) hahaha all had shiny clothes as the future so there goes the 80s, no wonder I hate it.... fry dye and kill your hair, make it a puff ball and wear flashing metallic clothes to let everyone know that you fried your hair the best. Oh lets not forget the awful pale makeup with bright orange/pink cheeks and blue eyeliner,,,,yuck!

Sorry to any who love the 80s..... they stole every other eras style and tried to "modernize" it and all they did was mutilate it,,,,ie rocky horror picture show!!!! lol

Ok I'm done ranting.

80s on the suits lol!

You mean... there's an era that DIDN'T steal from one before it? :scratchchin:

... and I loved Rocky Horror! LOL! :nana:
 
I was an eighties teenager. Rara skirts, legwarmers, slashed neck sweatshirts a la flashdance. Bubbly perm.

I remember this fabric (I'm seeing it as harem pants in my minds eye).

And I loved Rocky Horror too!

And while we're on the subject of 1980s harem pants, I had to share this...
 
:USETHUMBUP:
wow, I remember the eighties glam too now!
Great (Chrystal of Dynasty) haircut, too.
Love the photo!
