Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! This was so 80s it’s scary.

If I had to guess, I would say this photo was taken in late 1989. Historically speaking…..either just before or just after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
BTW, the “Sprockets” reference got me laughing so hard, I think I hurt myself.
Dieter!!! Mike Myers was a genius. I guess he still is…

BTW, what was the name of the artist?
Also, was this at “Artport”?

Looking at this picture actually gives me a headache.
February 22nd, 2008 at 8:28 am
Sher, I must say I have already SEEN this pic and own a copy…a FULL pic. I was waiting to wield it at exactly the right time…alas…you beat me to the punch.
No, I can’t tell you where I got it.
John just said “I think Sherri looks good in that photo!”
I have no words.

She does look good in the photo. It’s just the whole eighties-ness of the picture that makes me laugh. I’ll bet there is a Bartles & James wine cooler just out of frame on the table. And her date is outside in a Le Baron convertible honking to pick her up, with Fine Young Cannibals playing on his cassette deck.

Yes, she DOES look good…she ALWAYS looks good…
It’s just I love that danged priceless work of art so much…the one behind her…it boggles my mind.
Not, Barltes & James…Pabst Blue Ribbon! And her date, Troy, is drives a red Camero and is blasting “Flock of Segulls” (I ran so faa aar, I ran so faaar awaaa aay) from his car.

One last observation.
The contrast of the “painting” vs. “Sher in front of it” reminds me of the two theater masks…you know, one happy face and one sad face.
Perhaps we should post this photo outside of The Strand or Marjorie Lyons Playhouse, gurl?

That’s a Nagel knockoff. Painted by the very talented Joey Kent, a Shreveport native.

You are a total fox!

Ahhhhhhh yeah. Look what I just found. When I was at Youree Drive Middle School in 1983-84, it didn’t get any cooler than this.

Ahhh, CT! You’ve brought back memories! In my middle school yearbook — circa 1983-84 — there was this page you could fill out about ‘faves.’ My favorite style of pants on a guy was “a tight pair of red or black parachute pants.” Of course, he’d have to have a bandana tied around his neck and a muscle shirt on, too! Thanks for the blast from the past!

Ya know is some places in Mississippi and a few small towns in southern Alabama one can still find the parachute pant being worn.
February 23rd, 2008 at 11:14 am
You know, I’m not too young to have had a pair of blue parachute pants! I also have parachute material shorts…

A contrast in similarities:
“Herein lies wisdom, beauty and increase, but from thine eyes knowledge be derive, and constant stars such as truth and beauty shall forever thrive within thee”.

You can also still find big hair in almost city or town in Texas.

Deiter is not amused. Where is my black turtleneck?
February 26th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
I misspelled Deiter. Sorry about that, Deiter!

Sheri, how old are you? Several of us in my office think 40 but decided to ask rather than continue to argue!
March 5th, 2008 at 11:08 am
By the way - love your current hair style!
March 5th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Thanks, Carole! Hmm…let’s see. How old am I? Well, my grandmother used to churn butter in snow up to her private parts.
March 5th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I didn’t think you would tell us!
March 5th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Ha. Carole, I’m old enough to be your mother!
Seriously, it’s not hard to figure out. Just look around on this site on the archives. Dates and times are everywhere. Use those reporter skills!
