I went to a surprise 40th birthday party this past weekend for one of my friends at work. He is a Phillipine citizen, and moved to China about 4 years ago. His parents came into town from Manila, and his parents with his sons (their grandsons) made a real nice Power Point presentation showing pictures from my friend's life.
Of course, they started with the baby pictures...and then moved to high school. In the high school pictures, we saw multiple photos of my friend wearing:
- Members Only jackets
- Acid-washed jeans
- Levi's "Button Your Fly" t-shirts
It amazed me that the American late- 80s culture permeated worldwide at the same time - so the kids in the Phillipines were wearing the same stuff I was (and we all were) in 1989.
