22 Years Ago




Look at the top right. I was 27 then. I've changed a bit since then of course.

Picture from A Fannish Archive, a pictorial pot-pouri of Australian SF Fandom in the 70's and 80's.

  1. That's a fannish activity? All those clean-cut folks with ties and such? What did you all wear when you relaxed?

  2. Well, it was a formal wedding...

    When relaxing, what do they wear? One guy at a party wore a red ribbon toed in a strategic location.

    Usually though, they wear whatever is appropriate for the occasion, hauberk and gambeson, chainmail bikini, leather miniskirt and red top, a big smile...

  3. I had much the same thought : "Fen? Dressed like that? Must be a mistake."

  4. I thought in fandom formal was where the Klingons cleaned off their weapons.

    BTW, you call those shoulders broad? You call those shoulders broad? Girl, you want broad shoulders wait till I send you a picture of mine. We're talking three feet here. Wingtip to wingtip this mutant spans nine feet. (Broadshouldered my ass.)

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
