The Smiley Smile Message Board

Photos of the guys of late show them looking good but as we know that has not always been the case. Bruce and his shorts and who can forget Mike with a Turban?

I'm starting a queer beer eye for the straight guy thread for those classic shots.

First up...Mr and Mrs Wilson

You mentioned the turban before the sparkly gold vest?

Melinda's style is questionable. She was a good looking woman 20 years ago, and a former model... I'm sure she could look much better than she does. I thought Brian looks good in those pictures if not completely groomed. The jacket's fine with me.

Open vest as well.

Theres already sites for Mike alone. ;D

Awesome captions..  :lol

BTW. A note to the bands handlers.....see what we get up to here with nothing 'official' to talk about?  >:D

Next up......The Return of the 'Melinda the Model' Thread (be afraid, be very afraid) ;)

Damn, that first link is funny.

"Man, these overalls are comfortable. I feel like I could crap them and no one would ever care."

No mention of the Lovester's yellow (and other colours) shirt at Live Aid? Blue trousers too! He even upstaged Al with his purple shirt that day  :lol

I actually liked the gold jacket thing, I much prefer Mike doing his take on Jagger on the Good Vibrations tour dvd to him doing that funny dancing on the spot thing he did in the early years.

Also what about Brian's leather trousers in the late 80's, damn you Landy!!!

I like the overalls, actually. Al wore them, Dennis wore them and Brian, too, as I recall from a late 70's Tower Sunset sighting.

Their look these days is pretty middle of the road, let's do brunch at the marina, kinda look. Not bad, but not very exciting.

Brian gets points for the shoes, at least. That jacket is a bit of an eyesore, though.

Mike (because shooting fish in a barrel is fun)

Brian (Dude, no tie and no shoes and you might as well not be wearing a suit at all, you dig. Would f*cking Sinatra be seen without shoes? No f*cking way.)

Carl (what is this. This is horrifying.)

Al, you are not a cowboy. Stop it.

I fucking hate dungarees.

The other things to keep in mind when wearing a suit are a) make sure it's appropriate and b) don't go overboard. So obviously Bruce just rocks up in top hat, tails, gloves, and cane on a summers day to a photoshoot apropos of nothing. Way to not look like a twat, Bruce.

Sorry Dennis....But it does look like a 'Village People' audition!

It is very, very easy just to fill this thread with pictures of Mike.

Although in this one, he does look like he is about to stomp your punk ass. He looks like someone just told him that his school isn't great. Daddy took the T-Bird away. He got up this morning, turned on his radio, and it didn't tell him about the surfin' scene. He's gonna Shut. You. Down.

"Brian (Dude, no tie and no shoes and you might as well not be wearing a suit at all, you dig. Would f*cking Sinatra be seen without shoes? No f*cking way.)"

He has on a bolo tie.

The Beach Boys are Rock 'n' Roll awesome; ABBA was awesome/awful in that way, too.

A quick google image search seems to show that only Bruce Springsteen, the governor of Montana, kids with mullets and cowboys wear bolo ties, which makes it an even more questionable decision. And no shoes, man!  ;D

Where are you from? It's a Western thing. I had two; one with torquoise, the other a scorpion. I've seen them often; even in semi-formal settings.

"You talkin' a' me?"  :hat

:lol hypehat, my week is complete. Thanks for the laugh!

"Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I'm gonna take you DOWN, motherf*cker"


I think this is my new favourite picture ever. I can't just stop staring at it and laughing.  :lol

Brian is not Sinatra, he is a Beach Boy, I would think shoes are optional. As stated by another poster above the leather pants (and cowboy boots) on Brian in 88-89 were bad. Carl's mid-70's jumpsuits were the absolute worst. Oh, and those 1977 team "racing" jackets (which Carl wore over his jumpsuit)?!?

bravo hypehat :lol

Mike at the Brother Records office fancy dress party, "Hey girl, I came as Robin Hood. Speaking of hoods I got a fuel injected engine sittin' under mine, wanna see it and then what you say we perfect our chemistry?"  :hat

You wear a suit, you gotta wear it right, is all I'm saying.  ;D

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:

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

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

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.  8)

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

:lol 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.

Holy sh*t! Those are some long toes!

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

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:

(http://s17.postimage.org/l4q0nmtzz/image.png)


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

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Champion  :lol

Two generations of hipsters, that's heartwarming.  :)

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

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

Blame Freddie mercury

  Not Carl'sbest jumpsuit, but all I could find at the moment...

My vote for Mike's best look...

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?'

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  :lol

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  ;D

It's called Grunge, look it up buddy

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

That is an AWESOME photo of Carl.  ???




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

And, lo, you can buy one of the jumpsuit jackets!

 :lol

Only $20! That thing is hideous, but someone here has to buy it for only $20.

I'd rather buy a Ghostbusters jumpsuit for $40...

I noticed that if you scroll through, say, 100 random band photos from all eras, you'll probably find 95 different hats on Mike's head. I wonder if he has a giant walk-in closet or climate-controlled storage vault full of those styrofoam wig heads to hold each of his hats through the years.

Seriously, did anyone else ever wonder what the man does with all those hats? He usually shows up with a different one each time, dating back to the mid 60's. I always thought he looked fine without the hats, it's kind of an odd trademark to have but he's done it for 5 decades.

The turban was the low point, though...

Awesome.  But, to clarify, that would be the tour jacket.  A jumpsuit does not have a jacket as it is a one-piece "suit" one would theoretically jump into and zip up. Not that I am an expert on jumpsuits, but just sayin'...

In that jumpsuit Carl looks like a hairy version of The Michelin Man.

This is a great thought process.  Maybe he has a storgae facility somewhere.  Did anybody find find it humorous that when the boys were checking out all of the free "swag" at the grammy's, that Mike found his way to the New Era Cap tent and picked up a new lid...

I'm guessing that in the mansion where Mike lives there is a study with a bookcase that contains a secret lever which when activated, slides back to reveal a hidden chamber which contains a walk in hat wardrobe as well as a TM meditation room and a locked room behind which contains the heads of all his ex wives.

The BBs had some really awful outfits. I think this should be turned into a thread about the SHARPEST each one has ever looked, because that might turn up some revelations. Even just Hawaiian shirts in general are tacky. Melinda could use some more flattering clothes, but of course so could Mike. With Melinda it's the shape; with Mike it's the colors. I think Brian often looks pretty good at events. I kind of like Mike's Freud look from the mid 60s.

Brians toes have always been the same...

I can't help but imagine the scene in American Family where I think Dennis walks in on Mike meditating.

There are worse things you can walk in on....  ;D
