I found this photo (luckily it was dated
September 1978 on the back).
I had almost forgotten all about this. I
had begged my parents for a leather
jacket, not because of the cold weather
(which is why I told them I needed it)
but because I had planned on using it for
my gorilla costume.
I had bought a make-up kit, I think it was
a Planet of the Apes licensed kit.
Or it could have been a POTA rip-off, whatever.
I had four paper routes at the time and
was able to buy alot of cool stuff like POTA & Star Wars.
Since I had no friends that were interested
in this kind of stuff I had to do everything myself.
I even had to bribe my brother to take the
picture. Since I had gone to all of that
trouble, I did get to at least eat dinner
in the make-up but I had to take if all off afterwards.
I was 15 at the time living in Columbus,
Indiana.
(Hey Trent, the kit was a kit
produced by the legendary Dick Smith, of Exorcist fame.
My friends and I all wanted
one of those babies too, but never had enough allowance in our pockets!
