WOM and MJM, Christmas 1977, walking to Santa Catarina Palopo
from Panajachel in the Western Highlands of Guatemala. If you look
closely, you can see that trendsetter MJ has red bandanas tied smartly
(or is it ridiculously?) around his knees, presumably to collect sweat
(either that or to impress the indigenous ladies).
Alas, time moves on...the road has since been paved. And these
days, MJ wears Cox Classic caps to collect sweat -- on his head.
(His knee sweat, while ever-annoying, he has learned to live with,
and that now goes uncollected....)

note the ever-present camera strap--also a cutting edge fashion accessory!
ReplyDeleteGiven your great good fortune at getting to attire yourself in the stylish hand-me-downs of your three brothers as you grew up, it's little wonder you fancied yourself a fashion plate, MJ.
