Is this a Tribute to Marc week of postings? I cannot deal with this! The hair, the hot pants, the hose, and the boots are beyond divine.
Lynn is totally giving me Kylie Minogue with this look!

My mom made a bargello pillow (gold orange yellow with an orange crushed velvet back) when I was a kid. She still has it on her couch. . . She wasn't the kind of chick to WEAR bargello, however. ..
