Beach Boys Fashion Blunders!

[bossaroo]

thanks for the laugh, hypehat.
i actually dig Brian's barefoot/bolo look.

let's see some of these jumpsuit shots of Carl.

it's really nice to see no shots of Bruce in shorts, perhaps the worst blunder of all. let's keep it that way.

Mike and Bruce really are too easy.

i'm gonna pick on Al a little bit:

[Pretty Funky]

A great look for Mike was the Hall of Fame Tux.

....of course he then had to undo the good work!

[Lowbacca]

Looks like a promotional still for a Gran Torino sequel, starring Mike as an angry bitter old man in a tough neighbourhood, who somehow befriends a young kid from Sumahama an then starts to clean up said neighbourhood.  I'd watch that.

No. You don't wear a baseball cap with a fucking tux. It does not work.

priceless! I'd totally go see that film!

Does Brian's left foot look like some kind of horrible bony claw/talon looking thing to anyone else?  I can't unsee it.

[runnersdialzero]

Holy sh*t! Those are some long toes!

[Lowbacca]

You're right, his toes look freakishly long and weird.. like the foot of some kind of movie monster. Brian Wilson is a freak!

No. You don't wear a baseball cap with a f*cking tux. It does not work.

Mikes done worse!

Tin Helmet with a tux in 88.

I know this is getting weird, but I isolated Brian's foot from that image and it looks like this:




That can't be Brian's foot...Looks more like a hand. Maybe there was some kind of image processing done? But why.

I'd heard that Hitler's only surviving relatives were living in the US, but I didn't believe it.

Until now

Two generations of hipsters, that's heartwarming. 

[hypehat]

That's such a weird photo. From the poor kids attempt at a mustache, from the fact Mike is dressing like he did in the 60's despite the fact it's after '81 (dig kids shirt) to the fact that the kids eyes look like he's crudely photoshopped two black dots onto his eyes. Mystifying

[anazgnos]

Looks like somebody tried to fix redeye by creating fake pupils in MS paint!

The fake eyes are creeping me out and so is his moustache

Those Carl jumpsuit pics are made even more ridiculous by the fact that Dennis is just dressed normally and looking totally chill, and you can sense everyone else is looking at him and thinking 'why in the blue hell am I dressed like an idiot?'

[Craig Boyd]

I'd heard that Hitler's only surviving relatives were living in the US, but I didn't believe it.

Until now

Apart from that little white patch on his beard Mike hadn't really aged noticeably in the 15 years since the Pet Sounds shoot. There's a picture in that Wouldn't It Be Nice book of Mike without a hat on in 85 I think, when I glanced at it I thought it was one from the 60's until I looked closer and seen the Nike tracksuit and how little hair he had on top 

I dunno why Mike persists with the caps, there's a Beatles documentary from a few years back and he's not wearing a hat in that, looks totally fine without it. Infact if I remember correctly he's not even totally bald and still has a little bit of hair left on top...just a little 

[Dunderhead]

Carl (what is this. This is horrifying.)

It's called Grunge, look it up buddy

[Pretty Funky]

Carl singing 'God Only Knows' during his troubled years.

[Lowbacca]

That is an AWESOME photo of Carl.  




Also.. with those pants and the hair he kinda reminds me of somebody...
