I do so enjoy a good novelty blog. Sure I probably only ever look at them once, a brief diversion before heading back to my carefully manicured garden of Google Reader delights. But still, I find the fact that they keep emerging in such numbers and inspiration quite… stirring. Today we’re mocking people in their ugly and/or 80s stages. With so much 80s revivalism going on in fashion these days it’s easy to convince ourselves that we do understand the full horror that was your average 80s wardrobe. It is hoped that these blogs may serve as a stern reminder to the contrary.
Sexy People: A celebration of the perfect portrait. If staged portraits are anything more than a fine way of tormenting future you with the brutal realities of your fashion past, I’m yet to see it.
Rad Dudes: Actually encompasses rad dudes, rad kids AND rad ladies. Nothing if not comprehensive in the field of radness.

Just a gentle reminder dear, you were born in the 80’s so dont be so harsh in your judgement of that decade. I proudly dressed you in the very latest baby fashion wear from the 80’s. And when I return from my sojourn in Fiji I will post a lovely picture to remind you.

Hello from Vunavutu Village, Fiji. It is your grandmother here. Very impressed with opening page dog image. Just saw a picture of you with beard and was shocked. Where have all the years gone to?? Proud of you Paul.
