One of my bosses just got a new car so he’s parked it right in front of the door so everyone has to look at/ask him about it.

unaguerrasinfondo: one of my many not well loved assertions about ‘punk’ fashion is that people of color were influencing punk fashion well before the movement defined itself in the bowery/NYC and later in the UK. photo on the right is from 1970 (new haven, black panthers) and one of the women is wearing a bullet belt - which I’ve heard was solely an invention of punk subculture…  I’ve looked over hundreds of photos taken during the late 60s - the early 1970s of Puerto Rican youth subculture in NYC and seen many of the same bricolage/punky fashions that were worn by punks in the late 70s and throughout the 1980s. I can’t really imagine that the art school kids that took credit for conceiving punk were not somehow influenced by the Black and Puerto Rican youths that they were living side by side with.
