To this day, it seems almost impossible anyone could have thought the "identically dressed" look was ever a good idea.
This photo shoot is wrong on so many levels and not just with the clothes. The clothes look pretty good, in fact. The poncho is much too dressed-down for the rest of the ensemble, but aside from that, this is solid 70s fashon that's aged well. The problem is the models. They both look incredibly uptight, worried. up to no good, or all of the above.
"Dammit, Alois said he'd be here at 10 with the heroin. What keeping him?" "We've got a problem, Hon. A Polizei van just pulled up on the corner."
Then there's the fact both His and Hers have the world's most horrible veiny skeletal hands. My dad had hands like that. But he was 76, weighed around 45 pounds, had COPD and stage 4 cancer.
Just the kind of visual associations you don't want when you're trying to convince people to buy clothes.
Sadly , the power duo of Scungilli and Roach were never able to duplicate their phenomenal hit . Their last appearance was on the Love Boat as a copy of Shileds and Yarnell . They never had a single speaking line either ;
Due to recent events, I'm limiting comments to google account holders only. Sorry if you're a decent person affected by this but the spam has gotten weird.
Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...no fooling?
ReplyDeleteSeriously though,Put that print on a flannel button up and I'd totally wear it...untucked.

An Aztec Poncho is what you can keep your high grade weed in :)
