I have been working on a longer post about the sociology and cultural ramifications of 1980s music videos. But as break from that, this image from a ZZ Top vid reminded me of a common woman’s look from the 1980s that’s completely disappeared now.

Those very tight tops with mid-rise (also tight) jeans were extremely common during the 1980s. Almost always braless too, of course, which would be verboten now. It’s a look that most can’t really pull off these days because it requires being svelte. But most women were back then! And no tattoos. The women from then are so much more attractive to me because their skin had not been devastated with horrible tattoos as is almost always the case now.

I wouldn’t want to go back, but damn not having terrible tattoos everywhere would be a real positive thing.
