Remember pedal-pushers?
| Wed, 02-27-2008 - 12:12pm |
Please say you do. This a.m. DH and I were talking about some warm weather clothes we need to get for our upcoming mini-vacation. I said something about capris, and he called them clamdiggers. I said, yeah, pedal-pushers.
What?
He'd never heard them called that before. I believe his response was, "Put down the crack pipe and walk away." LOL
Every once in a while I'll come up with a saying or a word he's never heard of and he thinks I'm making it up, so tell me, did you used to call capris "pedal pushers?"

Bubble suits were one piece outfits that had elastic at the waist, and elastic at the leg openings, which were at the top of the thighs.
You bet I do... as a matter of fact I still call them that once and a while.
We called bubble suits "sun suits," I guess because we only wore them the 2 months it's sunny here.
Oh, yeah, the Easter pics...I have several of those at varying ages, very attractive indeed...and you probably had your hair done the night before in pincurls, right? ROTFL!
over 40 and tired
Yes I had a bubble suit as well and way to many pictures in my easter finest!! I had very long hair back there so didn't get the pin curls but my Mom would brush my hair around her finger and I had those long susage curls.
Love ya
I sure do remember peddle pushers and the bubble suits. What about coolots, I guess now they are called skorts and our sweat jackets with the hoods, now called hoodies.
The bubble suits, now they were the all in one and alot of them had the elastic waist..right. I think we wore the very first onesies!!!!!!!

The first onesies! Guess we were ahead of the times!
OMG, I completely for got about the pettipants, oh yes we wore them. Even had hooks in some of them for your nylons....before pantihose. I was working as a waitress at the airport and the am shift and had nylons on and clipped onto my pettipants my bf at the time picked me up to take me over to his house. They had a swimming pool so I went and changed and when I came out in my bathing suit he started laughing. Welllll, I had indentations on the upper part of my legs from hooks for the pantihose.
I remember Easter as being torture. We had these little pink rubber curlers that when they were opened, they looked like a champagne glass, you wrapped the hair around the stem and flipped the top over to cover the hair and the flat bottom of the curler, anyone remember the name of these?
I am glad you had a good laugh, laughing is a good thing lol
Love ya

OMG, Gail, I remember those awful curlers! If your hair was fine like mine it would get tangled in them, adding to the "Easter torture."
I remember when my family went on vacation to California we stopped at the Redwoods where that giant Paul Bunyan was. There was some guy on a microphone who would talk to the tourists through a speaker in the Paul Bunyan. My sister was about 13 and had her hair up in rollers (the brushy ones fastened with hairpins) and of course the chiffon scarf covering them.
The guy in the Paul Bunyan said, "Hey, look at the girl with the pink things in her hair!"
Well you can imagine the embarrassment! She cried and ran to the car! Of course being the bratty little sister it was good material for me for quite a while. Probably til I was clobbered good by my Mom.
Boy howdy, is this a good trip down memory lane or what?!
