The Seeker Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Oh that... I've never seen anyone wearing that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 They're not so much in style now, but when I was first in high school-'89/'90 they were in fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) When I was 12 or so, I devoured Barbara Cartland romance novels. I was probably the only 12 year old in America that knew the term "going Gretna Green". I learned lots of British terms back then, some that I still wonder about today. Like what the heck is a jumper. Jumpers were probably more in fashion when I was a kid. A few years before you Shannon. I grew up wearing them.

The Seeker Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Well... come to think of it, I know dresses like that for little girls... But not really like the ones in those pictures, just similar. Edited May 4, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_r Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 pinafore dresses, which apparently is the same as a jumper dress, have been back in fashion in the past couple of years. They just don't look as 70-80s as the ones you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 This a jumper in America. One can wear a turtle neck or blouse underneath. But hopefully not a plaid turtle neck or blouse. Paisley maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ow my eyes! The image... in my head... will never disappear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Since coming here to Songfacts over five years ago many mental images have formed. For example: Whenever I hear an ELO song anywhere (as I did in my car yesterday while waiting as my wife shopped) I think of Katie and I envision her Bowie avatar. The associations with SFers is ever present. Like... When I hear The Kinks or anything Red Sox I think of Sammy. Stones-Lucky. Jack Black or Stevie Wonder-Peaches. Kula Shaker-Radhi. Can anyone hear Badfinger and not think of Laurie? Elvis Costello-Shannon (our Costello girl). It goes on and on and I stop now dare I leave someone out. My question to fellow SFers is this: What associations, mental images, etc. of SFers are evoked within you by a song, an image or the like?

Levis Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Goldfrapp = Susan Jeff Buckley = Gisela I have a hard time imagining you come across many Kula Shaker references, Uncle Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ahh, but not "Radhi" references. Besides, I really like Govinda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 anything by the Doors - Tim Serge Gainsbourg - our dear hélène The Who and Oasis - Fin Powderfinger - chris (c_s) AC/DC - rayzor Goldfrapp and now Kent - Susan "Wunderbar - Tenpole Tudor" and numerous obscure Punk and Ska bands - B-F "Holiday in Cambodia" always makes me think of Kevin, but I dunno why... maybe he nominated it in the TTs once? additionaly to Badfinger, Neil Young makes me think of Laurie... strange, huh? Kiss and Alice Cooper - Katie I try to think up more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Martin - heavier, grungier stuff... not necessarily just certain bands Kevin - 80s stuff like China Girl and Forever Young... I've no idea why... might be his avatar... Uncle Joe - doo wop stuff, and somehow also things like Little Richard Edna, Sammy, Lucky -- Stones of course! And for edna also all things French b-f -- anything obscure and punk-y stuff you'd find in small underground clubs There's more, of course.

skybluesky Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I saw Jeff Buckley's music on Last FM and that's what made me report you missing Gisela. Flight of the Conchords and The Doors make me think of Tim R.E.M.-Martin and Radhi French Pop and the Stones-Edna Ryan and Rufus Wainwright-Sue Willie-Mama Elvy Janis-Sweet Jane The White Stripes-Viaene The Ramones-Katie I'm far more Ryan than Elvis Costello. I haven't been Costello girl for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 ^yay A good thing then that Ryan Adams makes me think of RG. Oddly enough, so does Rufus Wainwright and I don't know why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 YAY! Rufus should make you think of me Radhi. I lurv him! The Small Faces make me think of cs1987 and Fin because they're talking about them made me interested in The Small Faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'm far more Ryan than Elvis Costello. I haven't been Costello girl for years I know but I'm not likely to ever be listening to Ryan Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
