It's a pneumatically knickered One-Question Quiz!

[redscharlach]

In the absence of any proper fannish posts from me (I'm still scribbling away, honest), here's a startling visual bonbon from one of my regular trawls through the fascinating online annals of LIFE magazine.

But what on earth is it? Well, readers, that's for you to decide...

:O

I love that the fishnet shirt has nothing whatsoever to do with it. That's, yknow, just what a guy wears with his inflatable pants.

LOL! Thank you for voicing this - because I concur totally. I bet it was the model's shirt and they just said - "hey, take off those leather assless chaps and put these on for the picture."

I was boggled by the fishnet shirt too. But the Roman-esque sandals really add the finishing touch.

Fishnet T-shirt, inflatable shorts and roman sandals are three things men should never wear at all, let alone altogether.

I didn't really laugh out loud until I read this thread.

Personally I think this look should make a come back!

As soon as I saw those pants I remembered this.

[mizufae]

They're gold! Oh my goodness that makes them even better.

[redscharlach]

I'm just a teensy bit disappointed that they aren't silver, but the gold is very festive indeed...

It almost makes it more understandable as to why Gary is wearing Roman sandals. You just wouldn't wear those types of shoes with SILVER pants.

i love their expressions. esp hers. it's like, "i should smile, b/c it's for an advertisement, but this weak half-grimace is all i can manage."

[redscharlach]

It's the facial expression of a man who is thinking very, very hard about his next paycheck.

[princesskraehe]

I ...

... wow.

[redscharlach]

Yes, that was pretty much my reaction too.

Oh dear... the ad should have had the words 'guaranteed to make everyone point and laugh at you while you wear this'.

[redscharlach]

I think that's why they focus so heavily on the words "fabulous" and "space-age". If you believe you're fabulous and space-age, you probably don't care what the non-fabulous folk think. They're only jealous, after all...
