It surprises me. I was born in 78 and never have been interested in old fashion. Tanks for bringing that to my attention :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19973953.post-45075141555936228182008-08-03T13:39:00.000-04:002008-08-03T13:39:00.000-04:00Hmm...This is pushing the outer limits of my own m...Hmm...<BR/><BR/>This is pushing the outer limits of my own memory--I was a really young kid back in the late 60s, early 70s--but I do vaguely recall lots of "pleather" and something called "naugahyde", and not just in the context of furniture or purses.<BR/><BR/>Meaning? There may have been *tons* of tall boots around, but the quality might not have been the best. You've seen firsthand and heard how it is, Asudem, the Faux-Latex and Faux-Leather look may sell, but unless both the backing material and the topcoat of vinyl are *THICK*, the stuff just doesn't wear well. It tends to fall apart easily.<BR/><BR/>And that's with the leggings made here and now. I can't imagine too many 60s vintage tall boots surviving some 40, going on 50 years in someone's closet.<BR/><BR/>I know, it sucks. Like I said, on some issues we were once so far ahead of the game, and now we're stuck having to remember and *relearn* how things go again, and not just on kinky stuff.<BR/><BR/>We once knew more about how to do zero-emissions vehicles too, and are having to relearn and refine knowledge of batteries and fuel cells too. But I digress...<BR/><BR/>Point is, we spent a large chunk of the 1980s and 1990s getting *dumber*, I'm sad to say...and I include myself in that statement too.<BR/><BR/>Just saying....<BR/><BR/>--Bradley Poe (who has some *diverse* interests and hobbies, even if some are a bit retro)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
