I love my Brother Misfit.
You would too, if you knew him.
 |
| 1973 I have always been a demented face-puller |
 |
| 1975 Check out his awesome hair and my awesome crocheted vest. |
 |
| 1975 My first day of school. What's not to love about every single thing in this pic? |
 |
| 1976 This is the dawning of the age of the terrible home hair cuts and the groovy wallpaper. |
 |
| 1976 I am wearing my cowgirl vest OVER my dressing gown because I am a fashion-forward six year old. And check out the priceless expression on Brother Misfit's face. And the awesome poster. |
 |
| 1977 The home hair cuts are growing out a bit and we have become beatniks, man. |
 |
| And... back to the awesomely bad home hair cuts. And another |
 |
| 1978 Man alive, I loved camping back then and seriously, you could not PAY me to go camping ever again. |
 |
| 1979 We got puppies and home hair cuts for xmas! Check out my awesome ruched boob tube and matching skirt with pink gingham. I would so wear that now. |

| 1980 Summer at the beach |
| Every Australian over thirty must have these memories of a xmas holiday at the beach, pre sunscreen: spending all day swimming and building sandcastles, getting horrible sunburn that quickly turned into a mega tan, having salty, unbrushed hair, the smell of Reef Coconut Oil, getting bindi-eyes in the soles of your feet because you never wore shoes and playing Space Invaders at the take away while you waited for your burger or chico roll, which you then washed down with a Tab or Passiona, followed by a Golden Gaytime. |
Love.

Welcome Comtesse!
Oh yes, Jeff is one of our One True Loves.
I'm so glad you liked the owl post - what else do you love? As my 20th follower, I will do a post on ANYTHING you like (anything not too gross) - you decide and let me know. You can answer here or keep it secret and email me at misfitsvintage at gmail dot com

cuuuuuuuuute post! such fun to see how did you look like when you were a child!adorable... :o)
Chuck E's In Love! Love it.
Your photos are so like mine, bowl haircuts and crochet. Thank goodness mine are all on slides so I can't share my goofy teeth and skinny legs.
Your brother has a look of Ross Geller about him, and he's got great taste in clothes (like his sis). xxx
Hullo again, well I am honoured - I can't think what to suggest so maybe I'll throw out a few of my favourite things to see in blog posts and you might think of picking one:
1)An all-time favourite vintage piece that you will wear forever
2)Your style icon and why
3)I just love seeing how people organise their collection of clothes - whether they are floor-drobe or wardrobe types, folders or flingers, shelf people or rail people/plus any decent tips for preserving vintage clothing and accessories (particularly handbags) are always a welcome delight.
Of course, don't feel bound by any of the above, just some suggestions as Your Revered 20th Follower!
Keep me posted!
