I still remember when the Converse hi-tops came in only a few basic colors--white, black and, if you were lucky, red. We are talking the 60s, now. First it was the return of Pumas (they defined cool footwear when I was in high school), and now these Converse. Hum, as they say about fashion, if you already did it the first time around, be smart and don't do it the second time around (unless its diamonds (and other precious stones)). Since I've lived through the 60s, 70s and 80s already (and wore plenty of clothes while doing it), I wonder what's left for me to wear given the retro trend that passes for fashion these days? I just hope to God they don't revive stirrup pants (yet again). I wore them the first time they appeared in the 60s (they were called "ski pants" in those days) and then again in the 80s. Yeah, its about time for their revival yet again. They seem to be akin to a virus--as soon as you think you've seen the last of it, you get another outbreak. So, Sean, any stirrup pant sightings? If you heap them up in a pile, I'll hit them with the flame thrower and maybe they will finally really and truly be gone forever!

stir ups... just go to american apparel.. hahah i just used them in abundance last year for a cd haha

"i just used them in abundance last year for a cd " You mean you melted them down (all that polyester and spandex) and recast them as CDs? :-)
