In her defense, most of the styles in the 80's, sucked!


Lord, does anyone remember Chess King? Some of the RIDICULOUS MTV inspired clothing I bought. I now shudder in embarrassment!

I bought one item of clothing from chess king: a plastic yellow raincoat with enormous clasps on it. I kept it for torrential downpours until last years. Yes, it was a hideous jacket but everyone who saw it wanted it...

I still have a couple of the shirts....sure they're ridiculous, but they make me remember being 16!

I also have a pair of parachute pants, that I never wore, not even once.

And I bought a Michael Jackson leather Thriller jacket at Chess King. They'd been $250, and they had them marked down to $20!! Leather!! Dumbass me though,... they had the Thriller colors, and also the REVERSE colors(mostly black, with red accents). I chose the opposite(never being a MJ fan). It's in PRISTINE condition, still. Had I chosen the MJ color scheme, I most likely could've made a handsome profit, when he kicked the bucket.

I bought this picture from the photographer (along with three others) and they're hanging on my wall. Unfortunately, I do not possess a scanner.

Now that is a bummer, since I took that photo in Germany in 1990 at a "Behind the Mask" concert in Essen.

I went there as a Stevie fan and got home as a firm believer that Christine McVie is a godess. Compared to what other female singers (and normal people) wore at that time, her stage clothes were quite tasteful. And she was a vision of elegance, something you would never believe if you saw just photos of her. She had the crowd after "Everywhere" and around me, everyone was as suprised as me how beautiful and spirited Chris was. Stevie who?

(Stevie was beautiful, but totally beside herself, she basically phoned it in, years later i read about her drug and medication horrors, yep, it was bad. I saw her again 13 years later and couldn't believe how much more lively and awake she was.)

Seing Christine standing on the left back side of the stage when Mick performed his drum solo, laughing her ass off with John, both basically rotfl, while Mick gave the madman is one of my most precious memories.

Sentimental memory overload....

Ahh, I love reading memories from concerts I wasn't alive for, thankyou for sharing that Ancient Queen I still can't get my head around why so many people have to have a big epiphany about the whole "Stevie who?" thing though
