1970's fondue makers and upper lip bushy moustaches?

I think that women being coerced in to wearing high
heel shoes is the same thing as Chinese Foot binding!

Heck, they are distracting enough what with all their lumpy good looks ....

Those well trained street charity people that use the psycho hard sell to get us to give up our bank details regardless of whether we are struggling to pay our own bills or not.

I still love the sight of a good looking gurl in a pair of hip hugging bell bottom jeans.
I don't think they have ever gone out of style.

Sweet fantasies :)

I guess the oddest thing is when our fantasies or imaginations go out of fashion and we realise the world never needed them in the first place.
