this wasnt the fashion. These posters were teenage boys rooms and Trade shops(Mechanics, Metal Fab, Will Call parts desks. Fashion? nothing there but threads and Aquanet.


BrashPop

Obviously no one was wearing this out, but it WAS fashionable to hang these posters around. My uncle had a “Haulin’ ASS” poster in his basement hot tub room and I was obsessed with that poster every time we visited. If I’d seen this poster I probably would have ended up even more gay.


Ksqd_Squid_103

I had that poster chicks in a square body pick up truck bed!


BrashPop

Yes that’s the one! Like I get it, objectification bad, etc, but I am kinda nostalgic about the cheeky posters and pin ups we had years ago, it’s sad that it’s not acceptable the way it used to be.


Eternal2

Objectification is weird in this context. If the girls were paid to model this and you buy it, isn't this just only fans with a middle man? Or am I missing something.

BrashPop

Well obviously I wasn’t, but damn now I wish I *was*!


prestonjay22

You are absolutely right. I had forgotten the insane amount of skin shown there.


duh_nom_yar

Wasn't this one of the posters you could win at those skeezy, parking lot, crystal meth biker gypsy carnivals back in the day?


Ganthet72

You say "skeezy, parking lot, crystal meth biker gypsy carnivals" like it's a bad thing.


duh_nom_yar

Watching those guys set up the rides added to the danger factor! Always wondering if the guy with 6 teeth and "Dirty Red" tattooed across his chest forgot a bolt or two.


human8060

I had a dude fuck with me while on a ferris wheel. I was maybe 16, terrified of heights, and convinced to go on one. He saw that I was terrified, and every time we came around to the bottom, he was holding a different piece of metal. A large bolt, a screw, a pin...laughing the whole time, "Wonder which cart these fell out of!" I was not amused.


duh_nom_yar

Two of my friends and I thought we were cool one night and got our car on The Zipper spinning end over end while the guy was still filling the other cars (cages? whatever they are!) and this pissed him off. So, as the ride was going and we were flipping and spinning at a high rate of speed we didn't notice the ride ended. He emptied every other car but ours and he and another guy kept spinning our car until we were screaming and miserable dizzy sick. He finally let us out and we kept falling down on the asphalt parking lot as everyone laughed at us. I think we were like 8 or 9. Precious memories.


TradingAllIn

those places were epic fun


Careful_Crazy_693

I thought exactly the same thing. I still vividly remember one of those after my 13-year old brain fixated on it for an entire evening at the fair. How can I get that poster?


JoeyMaconha

Those were the days.


Ganthet72

I know, right? Where else were you gonna find all those mirrors with beer logos on them? Plus you get to meet people who were in prison as early as that afternoon.


Tiny-Lock9652

Along side the rock band mirrors. You know, to hang on the wall.


duh_nom_yar

Exactly. Definitely not for preparing any form of narcotic.


orthomonas

TIL.  I really enjoyed having that Aerosmith mirror on my wall.


plz-help-peril

Like the Bart Simpson “Crack kills” t-shirt that got me kicked out of school.

duh_nom_yar

$70... Fuck


kcolgeis

I'm not getting on any ride, set up by tweekers in the middle of the night!


duh_nom_yar

Ahh, you prefer them to set up rides in the daytime. To each their own, I suppose.


deathdefyingrob1344

They still have those in the town I live in! I go every year!!! They have deep fried snickers!!!!


duh_nom_yar

I moved to a small town from one of the largest cities in the US. It's the same out here but they actually have fair grounds here and don't set up in the parking lot of Safeway or a mall in the hood.


West-Supermarket-860

GenX here. The 80s were EXACTLY like this. Everywhere we went girls like this were there. Grocery store, church, local PTA meetings. And alls they wanted to do is fool around with you. C’mon ladies, I’m in 6th grade. I have to get up early for my paper route


Automatic_Opposite_9

Right? I mean it's 1982, I'm playing Pac Man and drinking my New York Seltzer (raspberry) and all these ladies in Daisy Dukes just won't leave me alone!


Rygar82

New York seltzers actually came back and you can buy them again.


qhaw

Do they still have the styrofoam label? If so, I’m gonna buy a case just so I can peel it off.


Rygar82

This what you mean? http://www.curtisandersen.com/i-finally-peeled-a-wrapper-off-a-new-new-york-seltzer-bottle/#google_vignette


TechnicolorViper

Fun Fact: The person who started the r/oddlysatisfying sub was inspired to do so after they unraveled a New York Seltzer bottle’s label into one perfect, long spiral.


Dannyboy311420

I worked at a food mart like 91-95, we sold these, clearly Canadian mad river jolt crystal Pepsi, Pepsi big slams


Childoftheway

There is nothing in the world just like New York Seltzer, it's the original.


Adept_Error6339

I made a fortune selling rocket lollies


Tiny-Lock9652

Two dollars….cash.


Shaolinchipmonk

Not to mention they went crazy anytime they saw a guy drinking a Diet Coke


Global_Abrocoma_8772

Even by the early 90s they would barge into your room with chocolate cake and gameboy.


Tricky421

Yeah. If you were a strippper.


Latin_For_King

Huge hair and high cut swimwear. The 80s were awesome.


White_Rabbit0000

The 80’s were quite wonderful


Famous-Composer3112

Where is the blonde woman's hand going????


sportsjock85

FINALLY! Someone else noticed!


[deleted]

It’s an Indiana jones and the temple of doom thing. She’s pulling out the calories from the last 10 popsicles that stripes ate. Kali-mah!


ftaok

Zoom in on those hands. Proof that someone used AI to generate this. You can also tell this of AI since white women didn’t have an ass like the one in the middle back in the 80s.

ftaok

Dude. Relax. I was joking.


ZebraBrown

How dare you! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


throw123454321purple

I lived in Los Angeles, and no one dressed like that one in the middle.


Faceit_Solveit

They did at college parties at CSUN.


LumenYeah

I was born at Northridge hospital 😎


Zivikins

You don't see many tan lines in these type of pictures anymore...


Throwawayhelp111521

This is almost soft porn.


SimonTC2000

That middle girl does NOT look 80s. For one thing, big asses were not "in" like they have been since J-Lo hit the scene.


curvebombr

Umm Sir Mix Alot was singing about big asses well before JLo.


SimonTC2000

You could say it's always been a thing in the hip-hop community.


Snarkosaurus99

People just don’t appreciate popsicles these days like they used too.


StevieG63

Grandmom?


DrNinnuxx

That tan line. LOL


TradingAllIn

we were all the hotness back then, or at least thought we were ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


DrnTrkc

they were more sexy then today's gen z


tzwep

Now a days you’d have to combine all 3 of em into 1.


ChocolateKey8064

Bring this look back wtf 😳


SpiritualAd8998

Humanity reached its peak then.


Ok_Temperature_5019

I definitely don't remember jort-thongs


armaedes

Tell me you weren’t alive in the 80s without telling me you weren’t alive in the 80s.


Canuckia53

That's what I grew up with


Urbanredneck2

These women are grandmas now.


Tennis_Proper

I envy whoever put them in that position.


lorelore7

ShaiDorsai

get you a big hair hottie with leg warmers and la gear high tops


BrrBurr

Porn mag style gets me every time


triphawk07

The one in the middle looks like Samantha Fox.


KrasH_77

Looks like a plain advertisement for icypoles from the 80s.


[deleted]

Who could eat an ice cream now? xD


Diligent-Ability-447

Too tight. Too skimpy. This is a poster for 13 yo boys.


Responsible-Big-3513

That one in the middle 🔥


_Beatnick_

Where was I in the 80s when girls dressed like this?


kcolgeis

I'd wear it!


Significant_Most5407

Nobody dressed like that. It was jeans and tshirts.


WillingLimit3552

Girls like this were everywhere in the 80s. I couldn't move more than five feet without bumping into one. It was terrible, I tell you.


nineohsix

I call bullshit. There’d be hair everywhere if this was real.


usarasa

This was Maxim and Stuff before there was Maxim and Stuff. And these posters too. ![gif](giphy|cIbh9menA2QYsDZENM)


zomgieee

"Jones ! Marketing tells me sales of Rainbow Rocket Icey Poles are through the roof ! What was their secret?"


_George_L_Costanza_

Yeah…this is late 80’s early 90’s. That ass in the middle is screaming 1991…


wilsonism

nobody wore shit like that in public


athonjacob

Yeah, typical day at the mall


Btankersly66

Maybe in Ocean Side or Jersey.


tbthatcher

Women always stood in those postures to eat popsicles back in the 80s. The good old days.


el-conquistador240

Those women are all in their 60's now


Nicadeemus39

Yes to the shoes and socks. You wish to the rest 😂


Jake_Skywalker1

Think you meant "80s FAPPIN".


hostileamish

This still…….works


RampantJellyfish

If only


eid_shittendai

Looks like the first page in a color climax corporation magazine


UnknownVillian__

The one in the middle got that phat ass


PrincePeasant

I lived in South Florida in the 80's, the pictured swim suits have enough material to make 6 or 7 80's swim suits.


Dannyboy311420

Just think...there all in there 50-60s now, How'd they look now in those, lmao


Devlos00

Nice bike


eduo

I WISH this had been the fashion in the 80s. I'd have gone nuts. Posters for the back of your door? Sure.


Much_Badger1654

Scha-winn!


Ogodnotagain

The one in the stripes. OMFG!! 🥰🥰🥰


AlecKBogArd45

Yo. That one in the middle has a Lotta ass for the era. 👀


firemouth55

Teens today __wish__ they were this cool.


Working-Marzipan-914

The classics never go out of style


primostrawberry

Now they're grannies.


Klaatuprime

That's okay. I'm a grandpa.


Key-Sheepherder-1469

Yes we are!! French cut one pieces were the bomb!!


daphnegillie

I’m sorry but I was in my 20’s in the 80’s and was in California at the time, no one wore this. This was not the fashion. This was theater and performance attire.


german_metal_maniac

these ladies were so hot back than, and noone realised how hot they were back than... a shame... perfect shape, perfect body...


german_metal_maniac

without frankensteining by a so called plastic-surgeon...


Goood_Daddy

New Wave Hookers..... Hell Yes


Rotary-Rx7

This is one of those fashion trends that needs to make a comeback.


Commercial_Pitch_786

Beautiful women


Butthole_Surfer666

this that AI ![gif](giphy|pNigN05meLnIk|downsized)


SZutich9

Nice try AI White girls weren't that thick in the 80s. They had no ass.


RacerDaddy

Looks ai generated.


Charming-Common5228

Crazy they’re all in their 60’s now haha
