Here I am (on your left) around 1985-1986 with the same ex-friend from the last installment. (Thanks to the sunglasses, I don't have to protect her anonymity with a black bar.) I think this may have been in downtown Pittsburgh during a field trip, although that Burger King in the back doesn't look familiar. This honestly looks more like South Side but, if you're from Pittsburgh, you'll know that there's really no reason to take a bunch of junior high kids to South Side unless you're actually trying to get them drunk and, as terrible as my school was, they wouldn't have allowed that.I can't even begin to explain everything that is awesomely appalling about this ensemble but I'll give it a shot:
- Half top. HALF TOP.
- The "Beach Bunny" decal on said half top. (Obviously, I got this in the same place that nearly every teenage girl in the tri-state area got their Beach Bunny half tops: Ocean City, MD.)
- Said half top paired with extremely high-waisted genie pants.
- Permed, feathered mullet that is, sadly, mostly obscured by the hat.
- THE HAT. Worn backwards, natch. I actually remember this hat well. It was some type of floppy, flimsy baseball cap that was white in the back (the part you can see) and on the bill, with a purple and white polka dot design on the front. Apparently I was wearing it to ensure that nothing on me accidentally matched.
I guess I should be proud of those ginormous sunglasses, though. I was wearing 'em before those twiggy reality stars realized they were cool. Also, that Risky Business pose? Very original and super awesome. I'm surprised I wasn't the most popular girl in my school, I really am.

I find that women usually look better unclothed, anyway.
Just take 'em off, I'll wait.
