    In the fall I always get the urge to pick up a few "gambles" that more often than not someone absolutely loves it because they are so odd/loud hideous...this is one of this year's strange picks.

    A ruffle printed shirt...in metallic!
    i guess you could call it "salmon" colored. It was paired with a brocade jacket actually.
    Oh and those are 80s liquid look lame' pants to add to the ...um....look

    So what is your vote...absolutely disgusting or strangely intriguing??

    Don't worry my feelings aren't hurt....

    I KNOW its a love it or hate it...

    Strangely enough...this may go the way of the monstrously sized cartoony flowers palazzo pants set and the mylar dress...to someone who just is very "original" and LOVES it. hee hee.

    LOL I should clarify... I DO think it's horrid... but it's so tacky that it's awesome in it's own way.
    Hehehe... I probably would have picked it up, too!

    LOL Louise! Exactly!

    The foofy front reminds me of poet shirts... but it doesn't have the big puffy sleeves.

    Even so... maybe you could market it as an over the top Pirate costume? I know!! A VEGAS PIRATE!

    OMG Liz I almost forgot about Jem and the Holograms. ("she's truly outrageous...truly truly truly outrageous" i think was part of the theme song). She would need HUGE blonde 80s "tamed down for family consumption" glam rocker chic hair and big eye makeup halfway acrossed her face.

    "Barbie and the Rockers" was a less made up version...but she had crimped hair.

    Why do i remember commercials 15-20 years later lol

    Whoa, had to put my sunglasses on to look at that shirt!
    Very flashy. I picture it tucked into a pair of tight black cigarette pants with a wide patent leather belt on someone with big hair wearing stilettos. Sort of a Peg Bundy from "Married with Children" look.

    Definetly something you would see and have seen Peg Bundy wear in "Married with Children"......:barf:

    Elsewhere put it precisely as I feel. So wretched that you have to admire it!

    I know what it is...a train wreck "you just can't help yourself but look".

  15. I vote for Peg Bundy. Go For It!!:headbang:

    (I probably would have picked it up, too..hehee...well, metallic is in and it IS Halloween.)

    I *DO* have a red wig if I wanted to go for Peg vs Barbie and the Rockers/Gem. Not "big hair" but it might nudge someone in that direction :)

    Oh...this would slant it towards Peg Bundy versus Gem....although i don't think she wore hats
