My Worst Look Ever! It's a Complete Eyesore!

Categories: Musto on Musto

leisure suit 2.jpeg
It was in the smiley-faced, deranged 1970s, and I was all decked out for some swanky South Brooklyn event or other.

And I wore the de rigueur white leisure suit that was so prevalent until people realized that polyester causes brain damage (or, more likely, is the result of it).

On top of that was that crazy shirt with the oversize collars out, the nutty tinted glasses, and the dirty cotton-candy hair.

And the wallpaper!

Interestingly, this was the first time in my life that I slavishly dressed according to current styles for the everyman.

Looking back on this visual train wreck, I'm delighted it was also my last.

Considering that in the 70s...I would have been sportin' my polyester suit from Sears, a nylon shirt with sunsets on it, and my Buster Brown platforms...I would have also been sportin' a crush on you, sir....

You've never looked lovelier. Beats those discount 90s designer duds you've been sporting of late.

Michael - this look, at the rate we're going, is quickly making a come back ...

Oh, I don't know...you don't look so bad. I'd kill for one of those "Barrymore collar" shirts! And no one needs to individually apologize for their 70's fashions...because EVERYONE looked like shit. I've become obsessed with "Match Game" reruns on GSN. It's hilarious how the atrociously clad Gene Rayburn comes swanning out in his clashing plaid outfits and everyone compliments him on how "dapper" he looks! What the hell happened in the 70's? Did it have something to do with Nixon?

I think Southern Dave wins the award for Name that Picture...Saturday Night Bieber, love it. That portal in time of pure innocence( at least "looks"-wise) before we trudge off and become the debauched people we become...I too, think its nice when people share their photos of themselves from the past. So thanks Michael- you the man!

That photo is highly inoffensive bordering on touching, but I am worried what Anonymous might be driven to upon seeing it, particularly after that column....

Michael Musto, you were a goodlooking kid. Stop being so down on yourself.

I think you look cute! Also, it was kinda brave to post that photo for all to see.

Is it true your Zia Rosa, after hugging, pinching and kissing you, had to be rushed to emergency for poking her eyes out with that oversized pointed collar?

And do I detect a pre-pubescent mustache, you know, the look typically sported by lazy stoner high schoolers and others trying to impress girls with their peach fuzz and OF COURSE, child molesters.

Now that suit looks sort of trendy/funky.

From the neck up, you're a handsome young fella. From the neck down, you look like a born-again server in a Christian ice cream shop. Someone was trying to be creative with that picture frame, I see.

You know, it's kind of cute! It sort of brings to mind Martin Landau for some reason.

Don't feel bad that was really in. I had wings like Farrah Fawcett and a tank top sundress and wore clogs and thought I was put together so don't feel bad. I miss your salmon suit. LOL! It made me crave lox. ;-)
