Watching telly from the 70s and 80s....

I can't get over the men!  Women still look much the same, give or take a bubble perm, but the blokes could be off another planet.  Tight, tight trousers, long hair, humungous moustaches, shirts unbuttoned to reveal welcome-mat style chests.... I was watching Magum PI and I swear he had our old black cat stuffed down his front.  They were posturing, macho and practically had testosterone leaking out their ears.  Did we really used to fancy them?

I'm afraid we did

Mind you, having said that I wouldn't push Martin Shaw (as Doyle in the Professionals) out of the bed, even if he did have collars and lapels you could land jumbo jets on.

Oooooo, yes I'm with you there..........Martin Shaw, then and now

What about footballer Kevin Keegan - looked like Shirley Temple gone wrong!

Married my hubby in the 70s and he does look different now ...but he was never into the macho medallioned moustached look...but I get your drift .....

He was perfect for me then and is perfect for me now ...........

The gentleman with whom I often walk out informs me that in the 70s he had a Mexican moustache and an afro. However being 5'2" and Welsh may have spoiled the Jason King vibe.

I think some of those 'Ming The Mercyless' collars are pretty cool.

Lewis Collins was the man for me, although Martin Shaw has got better with age.

Tom Selleck, on the cover of Gentleman's Quarterly... looking very snazzy at 69 years of age...

 Or, if you prefer...

[ed_blackadder_1]

Prefer the 2nd picture.

[mouse4702]

Ah, now he kindles my long-dormant fires in the first photo.  I never fancied him young but he's aged beautifully.  And you can clearly see the black cat in the second photo

I thought it was a nest of caterpillars he was homing at the time

Where have all the hairy chests gone, I think Tom Selleck is lovely no matter his age, he's a fine figure of a man!.
