TIME TO MAKE FUN OF 1970's FASHION FOR MEN - PART 2
What was it about the seventies? People dressed semi-normally in the sixties and went back to a semi-normal way of dressing in the eighties, it was the decade between the two semi-normal decades that we will be laughing at.
Posted below is a magazine ad from a November 1971 American magazine. The ad is from a shoe manufacturer from England. The company obviously believed that the U.S. was a country full of pimps, and or, men with limited sight.
I wonder if that English company had a subsidiary company that made feathered fur hats for men, along with walking sticks?
My favorite Seinfeld episode was when Kramer accumulated, piece by piece, all of the accoutrements of a pimp, without knowing he was looking like a pimp. He borrowed the infamous prop coat, from the Broadway play, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, from the propmaster of the play. Elaine gave him a walking stick, that was used in a catalog photo shoot. A fur hat was picked up by Kramer when it was rolling down the street, after a gust of wind took it from it's rightful owner.
Kramer had all his finest "pimp" clothes on as he was going to pick up his Cadillac, that was parked in a discount parking lot. The reason for the "discount" was that the owners of the lot needed privacy for their "business" of giving "quickie love sessions" inside the parked cars.
Kramer walks up to the car and discovers what was happening. Unfortunately for Cosmo Kramer, NYPD was also there. As soon as Krammer opened the car door, a nearby police car siren was heard, created by a police stakeout detail
The episode ended at that point.
Dry humor at it's FINEST.
