Being in the old car hobby for 99% of my lifetime, one of the stupidest god damn things I've seen is this Rockabilly/greaser/wop look alike fad. I see these stupid sonsa bitches at the car shows, treating the car show like it's a fucking runway fashion show on Madison Ave. in New York City. This is almost as bad as the assholes who dressup like a 1940s gas station attendant complete with 8 pointed cap and do nothing but wander around the flea market without buying a damn thing.
Get over yourself you wanna be Marilyn Monroe, you can't hide that pouch of cottage cheese around your waist nor can you hide the fact your ass looks like 50 lbs of chewed up bubblegum- same with the chinese lettering inked on the back of your neck- that's not vintage! the inkage is a leftover from the previous fad she was into I reckon.
It's all of a sudden cool for women to look like a tattooed Donna Reed and the guys to look like an even douchier version of the Fonz.
It's mandatory to get a 1954 Plymouth Savoy or some other equally obscure/worthless 4dr sedan and put red rims with a black primered body and mexican blanket upholstery. This right here gives those of us who drove cars in black primer years before this horseshit started a bad name by lumping us into the same crowd as the vitalis hair and white tshirt crowd.
Thank Xenu the rat rod fad is starting to die off as the rat rod BS helped incubate the rockabilly, when this rockabilly clusterfuck dies I'm having a kegger just so I can drink enough beer to saturate the rockabilly grave with piss. Twice. Or more.
Addendum- Add this Fawning over Bettie Page and the retro furniture fad. Nevermind, that's fodder for another wonderful and thought provoking post here at the thingsatrandomblog.
------No photo is going to be posted as I have trouble finding one that's even more lame than the next. They all equally suck. If I posted a photo some other rockabilly girl would start crying that she didn't get picked and in the process her makeup that she applied with a drywall trowel would start running. We simply can not allow that to happen here.----------
