Questionable Wardrobe Choices


I caught this on cable the other day, and was taken aback by some of the odd clothing choices in the film. I was alive in 1994, and I don't remember anybody dressing this way...ever. One brother seems to have a bizarre sort of rocker look, ripped jeans and leather jackets and no less than 17 bandannas. Weird, but not so weird I can't forget about it. The other one, though, seems to dress like some kind of homosexual science fair project. Unitards, three pairs of shorts, ten shirts with a tank top on top, shirts tied up to show off his stomach, and at one point some kind of crown made of plastic and seashells and, perhaps the craziest, a lawn sign strung on a telephone cable worn across his shoulder/chest? What?

I mean, the Barbarian Brothers are giants and appear to be super strong, but if some dude was rolling up to me all ready for a fight and the dude was wearing a plastic hat with seashells on it, I'd fight him no matter how big he was.

I'm surprised the lawn sign thing never caught on...

GumWrapper, first of all, thank you for opening such topic. I would never dare to do so on my own. Please don't anyone ever speak of 80's kitsch, prior of watching Twin Sitters!

I'm certain some pride parades are example of more moderation then what I have seen here :)

Absolutely atrocious styling choices. Two steps from just eccentric or hyper extrovert. Adolescent bad taste is redefined in Twin Sitters.

Also another thing strike me as odd. Those guys were in their prime time, in good health, but looking at their faces, they sure started with plastic surgery way too soon. There was something odd in the first ten minutes. Something unnatural about their faces, where specially (sorry don't know the names) one brother was really "stretched" way to much in face features.

OK, that just cracks me up 

I rather liked the way they dressed, but then I'm






a lumberjack and I'm OK

as flamboyant and ridiculous as the "fashion" choices noted above are, i believe the most obnoxious for me is the how the brothers would wear jeans but not use the belt loops and instead tighten the belt to an ungodly narrow level an inch or two below the waistband
