1970s men's fashion. Feast your eyes.




































Shirt and undies in one? GENIUS!

I'd guess the problem was that those pictures represent too small a segment of the population.

Most likely; similar with the pictures from pre-war Afghanistan. I thought the book Kite Runner gave a decent (if brief) account of the pre-war differences between classes/ethnic groups from the view of a privileged child.

He should have checked his privilege.

Anyway I think, in Afghanistan's case, it is not entirely unlikely that a place would be much better coming off several decades of peace than it would be several decades of war. Even poor people don't enjoy decades of war. Or so I hear.

:bleeding: What a terrible decade...

Although props for knowing how to showcase men's packages.

The raven haired girl in the green mini-dress looks just like my cousin and back then would have been of similar age.

Nice pics!  :)

I recognize Barcelona, the Forbidden city, Palmanova, Venezia, but the others?
The big messy city seems Mexico City.

Edit: no, the star-shaped one isn't Palmanova. Palmanova is bigger.

The sun shaped one is Mexico City. :) The messy one is Marrakech.

No, not Palmanova. I think it's Bourtange in the Netherlands.

I think most people will find at least a half-dozen astonishing images in this Reuters slideshow of images from the news this week, some of the images might be bit strong but worth a viewing here:

http://uk.reuters.com/news/picture/photos-of-the-week?articleId=USRTS5OLJ

I won't spoil the effect by posting images in this thread, I feel it's better to view all twenty together and be able to read the descriptive notes.
