11. You don't know the half of it, Josh!

In JHS into early HS, I wore the style of the day--blue tanker jacket and jeans, with Oxfords and white socks (!).

Skinny ties came in, so I wore them--even though I hated them!

I didn't like bell bottoms, but I LOVED my brushed-cotton flare jeans (wish I had some today!).

To my undying shame, I once had two polyester "leisure suits"--and even wore them when I did a college internship on Capitol Hill, working for a CA Rep.

With my history, hoodies are the least of my fashion worries, lol!

I may even pack a hoodie when we do our trip to Libya. Might just spark a style revolution among the revos.



P.S.--If you want to go even farther back, I was probably about 5 years old when I had a Davy Crockett fringed faux buckskin shirt (with Fess Parker's Davy Crockett image on the breast), together with a coonskin cap and b'ar rifle.

I'll wear my ratty hoodie again at the next march for Trayvon on Sunday--more pics to come.
