Having flashbacks to some of the clothes my parents and their friends wore. :)

Just glad that Eddie Murphy is back, in any form. I missed him on the big screen

Before Siegel's closed it's 90-year-old shop in San Francisco's formerly gritty Mission District last year, clothes like this were available off the rack. Willie Brown, the legendary politician and flamboyant clothes horse once showed up to a Giants game wearing leopard-print loafers in Giants orange from Siegel's, or as he called it, "Pimps R Us."

Appropriation? You mean a popular movie might impact fashion? Definitely unheard of until now. Perhaps this issue can be raised in the presidential debates.

@Jp All creativity involves some appropriation.
