I loved my red Converse tennis shoes, which were worn with rolled up jeans. And Madonna net-looking hair bows. And, Swatches piled up to my elbows.

No, you're thinking MC Hammer's harem pants, with the baggy crotch that hung to the knees and the tight ankles. Parachute pants were made of nylon (like parachute cloth) and were quite tight, with zippers all over the place. Parachute pants were uncomfortably hot because they didn't breathe, like wearing a garbage bag.

Oh! I'm dippy.

My brother had a pair of parachute pants, and they were the stupidest, ugliest things I had ever seen (at the time).

Manekineko, how do you know so much about parachute pants? [:p]
