Throwback Thursday

Throwback Tuesday: Jim Morrison and Madonna Jackets

May 21, 2013 by WendyB

My recent musings on 1980s painted denim jackets drew the attention of my high-school classmate, Karen D. Karen told me she still had her painted Jim Morrison/Doors jacket and, within moments, sent me a photo. I could hardly believe my eyes! It looks brand new. Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors, died in…

Throwback Thursday: 1980s Denim Jacket

May 16, 2013 by WendyB

Even though I have fond memories of the 1980s fad for painted denim jackets, I never owned one myself, to the best of my recollection. I don’t know why. Maybe I couldn’t decide which band I wanted painted on the back? I was equally devoted to the Beatles and Duran Duran. I did have a…

Throwback Thursday: Program From ’82, Dress From ’89

May 9, 2013 by WendyB

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that my parents are moving out of my childhood home in New Jersey. They’re clearing out all their old stuff, so I visited last weekend to take a look around. I couldn’t believe some of the things I found! Just last month I was trying to figure out when I’d…

Throwback Thursday: Polaroid, Sweatshirt and Puppy From 1982

April 4, 2013 by WendyB

Here’s a really old photo — a Polaroid, in fact — for Throwback Thursday. I had recently turned 14 in this picture from 1982. As you can tell from the name of my Shih Tzu puppy, my love for the Beatles was in full effect. (Even though Paul was my favorite Beatle, the dog was…

Throwback Thursday: 1996 Dress, Hair and Photobomb

March 28, 2013 by WendyB

I’ve always had a passion for cherry prints. I got a Louis Vuitton Cerise cherry-print bag in 2005 in part because it reminded me of a satin-y Cynthia Rowley cherry-print dress that I wore in 1996. I got the dress at a sample sale and I was so happy with it. I wore it with…
