Part II - Hard Times
The late eighties to mid nineties

It's not entirely trivial being cool when you look like a moron.... Nice haircut. What I was thinking is beyond me, but funky hair that seems to a recurring theme through the years... Let's just agree we all had a bad hair decade in the eighties.

You know, now that I've been exposed to this picture it kind of grows on me. Plus, this must be 1987 considering I'm wearing a Saga t-shirt from the "Wildest Dreams" tour. I rule! Coolness personified.

I have to give these guys credit for looking and acting the way they do, even if it's horribly lame. Yeah it's Fredde & Ingvar (Pingo, Pingu, Dudde, The Dudd).

As a bonus you also get a slight dose of Kakke (Kaktus, The Krax)  (dark hair in front) & Susan (blond, behind The Krax). Two of my babes. I'm not going to expand further on that because the rule of thumb is that in order to get an honorable mention on this site you have to have visited me. I moved to Switzerland in '94 and to the US in '97. Has Krax been visiting? Nooooo, she's busy traveling to the rest of the world and consistently avoids visiting me. 

I'm not sure when this is, but we are actually playing out a somewhat obscene dance number that is based on a modified curse (of sorts) that we got from a movie... Well, I guess you had to be there... It's Steven in front, Anders behind him and I'm the idiot to the right.

In 1994 I moved from Sweden to Switzerland and this is what my friends had to say.

This is me in... no wait..

Ahh.. here it is. Yeah what I can only describe as "The Fabio Years"

About once a year or less I dress up.
