1980 Business Card Photo Challenge... Who's Brave Enough?

This has to be one of the best posts I have read & viewed in a long time, and the comments are fantastic!

Very hard to believe that this post was not featured by the AR Gods because it has feature written all over it.

I was born in 1958 and this photograph of me was taken in 1980 when I use to model clothing, taken in Portland Oregon when I was living there.

The shoes I wore in this photo are what they called Beatle boots and I purchased several pairs in Vancouver Washington, these ones happen to be a green color!

My Darlin' says I have a lot of nerve posting this photo.

It's me. Thirty years ago in upstate New York...

Do you still have a business card photo from that ancient date?

Are you brave enough to endure the LMAO's?

Would ANYONE you know in the Rain be able to put your "today" photo together with your 1980 photo?

Oh, I know there are those out there who haven't changed the glamour photo on your business card in the last decade. Some of you are right here in Tucson, working for... Well, never mind. I'd only get in trouble.

Anyhow, those of you who were in diapers in 1980 needn't comment. Let's hear from those who were born before 1960.

Don't be shy. And please do upload a photo. Tell us where you were when it was taken. LOL!

You were sure young back then, let's see, I was 31 and looked kinda like this:

Probably hard to make me out though, I was in camos:)

Julie - You were and still are a very attractive young lady and Steve you are just to funny!

VB ;o)

I'm looking for my "big hair" pictures tomorrow! and boy did I have BIG hair!

Vegas Bob, you were A LOOKER in your day! I wish I had a circa '80 photo, but I guess even if I did I wouldn't want to put it up. BAD HAIR!

Janna - Thank you and I am still a looker with all my hair ..............

VB ;o)

Definitely model material, VB, and you are still handsome. I should post of photo of me with big hair and a miniskirt... or not... LOL

You do still have a nice head of hair have you thought about getting back into modeling .I will also look for some photos the eighties were great.

Liz

Shirley - Thank you so much for the compliment, and big hair and a miniskirt would be great!

Liz - Thank you also and we look forward to viewing a photo from the past!

VB ;o)

Bob, I remember 1980, but I was still in High School! This is a fun post and the comments and photos are just as good!

Vegas Bob,

This is just too much fun! I've had nearly 100 comments in 14 hours on the original so far, and you've given the post new life with the reblog. Thanks! From the look of many of the photos (yours is a great example) you're now reaching a "wider" audience. LOL I had a 34" waist back then...

Mike in Tucson

Mike - You are so welcome and believe it or not my waist size in this photograph was 27" and that is scary!

VB ;o)

Les and Leslie Prest

This was our photo for our business cards, late 80s (that's the closest I've got to 1980). It had an ERA sign behind us originally. It's still recognizable I think, but Les has a lot less (and grayer) hair, and I'm plumper.

Hi VB - Thanks for sending me over to Mike's post. Very fun to see how we all change.

You are very welcome Mary and it is amazing!

VB ;o)
