All the things I would be embarrassed about having liked in yesteryears I probably still like today and don't have the self-respect to be ashamed of myself.

There was a time I had an excessive amount of body and facial piercings. I still looked badass. \m/

It's 1979. Hubby and I had a good friend over for dinner. She was a very high-end hairdresser in Georgetown DC.

We all got a little tipsy on cheap wine. Fast forward a few more glasses of wine and we both were sporting perm rollers in our hair. We were both so stoked with what we just knew would be our new then-modern looks. We shot an entire roll of film documenting our transition to our new hairdos.

Then she took the rollers out. WTF did we do? Umm...seemed she *forgot* and left our rollers in just a tad too long. We both ended up with hairdon'ts!

Hubby was mortified. She cut his hair short, and it looked pretty good, all-in-all.

Me? Oh no. I rocked that fried White Boy frizzed Afro for several days. Until a good friend told me the truth. I cried.

I ended up getting my hair cut short too. It scarred me; I quit drinking. I believe it's why I prefer pot today to alcohol.

We did develop the pictures. We got high and laughed and laughed. Then we destroyed the pictures and the negatives. We agreed to never speak of this again. And I haven't. Until now.

We just knew we were gonna be the bomb. We were wrong. So wrong. I do kinda wish I had the pictures now that it's 40 years later...it would be kinda nice to reminisce about the time when I had hair...LOL.

Great thread @englad!

I had my hair similar to this middle part in the 90s. I thought I was sooo cool. When I got tired of it, I cut off all my hair. Turns out my scalp had tanned and my head looked like it had a butt crack.

I used to hold goth so near and dear to my heart that I would wear long sleeve shirts, pants, knee high boots, etc all black in 100°+ summer temperatures. Dumb. I can rock all black in the summer, but now it's tank tops, cotton skirts, and flip flops. Practicality won.

It's a long list, no, there are no pictures. I regret the times I have deliberately gone out of my way to hurt people, either because I made terrible choices, or my own pain was consuming me to the point of not caring (and took joy in doing so). I put myself in the group of "people who I have deliberately gone out of my way to hurt". Some of these incidents may have been accompanied by egregious fashion and lifestyle choices, on that front I regret nothing!

Who here remembers wearing cordoroy pants *whistle whistle whistle* as you walk. Gold plated chains with your astrology sign *looks back in shame*
define hard drugs? I mean with what's out there now? What I did seems so tame. pot speed white cross pink hearts (shaddup! this isn't Lucky Charms) then on to coke shrooms acid. Sadly I quite drugs for tobacco. Now that's a drug I have a hard time quitting.

Now? Just an old guy full of piercings/gauges and a couple tatts

It's kind of amazing how RHCPs stayed a band through all the bullshit. When Hillel passed my uncle was convinced that was the end of the band.

RHCP is to guitarist as Spinal Tap is to drummers.

I used to love Penny Loafers, a black pair with little tassels on the top and a white pair, the kind Pee Wee Herman wore in the 80s and i wore them with wrangler jeans with the bottom of the pant twisted so the would be tight around my ankles. I did wear Cordoroy pants and love the heck out of them, wore them out. I wore Panama Jack t-shirts with a button up shirt over it, but had it unbutton, swore I was cool..(unfortunately I tried fitting in and no one wanted me). Listened to heavy metal and country music..classic country it is considered today. I was different than most black guys to say the least.
