On Thanksgiving, yet another Dancin' on Air reunion/retrospective aired on Philadelphia's local PHL17. It was very much like the first one, so I won't get too deep into rehashing, but I do think I'd be remiss if I didn't share this fashion show of gorgeous denim goods from JC Penney with you. This is so cheesy that it'd make Sue Ellen from Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead say, "NOT IN MY BACKYARD!" Unfortunately, Suell wasn't quite the commentator as the dude who's announcing this stuff.
love the attytudes of those clad in the ahmurican claysics denim outfits. this gave me PTSD for the '80s in general and watching 'dancin' on air' in the '80s in particular. thanks!

I work for JCPenney and unfortunately we still have lame fashion shows like this. Except they're now in malls and the models are the cashiers.

Everything old is new and then old and then new again.

The Dexy's Midnight Runners overalls & bandana, the permed mullets, the rolled up jean legs, the short denim mini.........ah, I miss the 80's.

The breathless "Elvis couldn't do it better" is the highlight!

This is amazing...the only thing missing is Paula Abdul doing "The Barbie" and you have my childhood.

My mom bought me a very similar jacket on layaway, and then someone broke into my friend's boyfriend's mom's mini-van and stole it while we were at the Monsters of Rock concert and mom was NOT HAPPY lol

Wow, we sure HAVE come a long way. Personally, on November 12th, my vote will go to Romeo. It’s time for us to elect our first black jeans President!
