It’s true that the 80′s was a big Hair Decade, but it was also about other things. Like a girl and her badass truck. (Before you even think about saying anything about whether a 4-cylinder mini-truck is badass or not, just know that your jealousy isn’t pretty.)
I remember wanting this truck with a white-hot longing, and I remember how my truck-lust frightened Rick. Evidently he was previously unaware of my unrepentant Inner Hick, which I had covered with a thin veneer of Young Modern.
Nevertheless, he let my dream take wing, and before he could say “By cracky,” there I was in blue jeans and cowboy boots, with some kind of fundamentalist holy-rolling hairdo, leaning up against my brand-new truck.

I think your sweater has more power than your truck. Badass thought it may be.

OH MY GOODNESS.
It is posts like these that keep me doing the Fro week after week.
Amazingly…bad. Or perfect. You decide.
The hair. The SWEATER. The boots…are all great. But the look of ‘why yes I WILL kick your a**’ is superior.
You go mini-truck girl. You go.

How did you end up having a cute picture from the 80′s. Mine are all tainted with frosted make-up, hair to heaven, and freakish fashion.
ps. I think your truck is Badass….my dh drives one like it.

My high school boyfriend drove a truck like that and I was devastated when he got rid of it and bought a regular old car. Boooo!!!! I loved that truck.

a white truck with no chewin tebakky stains on the drivers door (or along the bed)? and I assume your Resistol is hanging in the truck.
still, it is better than a y-person beemer.
LOL, those boots are the icing on the cake!!
You had me @:
“Evidently he was previously unaware of my unrepentant Inner Hick, which I had covered with a thin veneer of Young Modern.”
Seriously.

Trucks like that WERE badass in the 80s! My hubby had one I just happened to have a sexy sweater much like yours! I will have to second Lola that you are looking much too good for the 80s and we had hair standing a good foot above our heads. I also wore make up that would resemble “HO” Raggedy Ann.
Those were the good ole days!
Diana’s last blog post..Sock it to me baby!
With that hair and those boots it could have been you I saw dancing some kind of country kick ass thing at the Holiday Inn lounge a few years ago!! How I ever got out of there alive is beyond me as I spent most of my time in tears, I laughed so hard!!
