You have struck gold here, my friend. Golden turds, maybe, but gold nonetheless.
I swear when I clicked on this the BeeGees’ “Stayin’ Alive” started playing unbidden in my head.
Hey! Stop making fun of my newest wardrobe!
The third picture on the first page has what looks to be a young Ricky Schroeder.
What are they glaring at that’s got them so pissed off? My guess is a camo Tee shirt and a big plate of bacon.
I think it’s really him!
Now you know why some of us that were teenagers in the early 70s became latter-day hippies and deadheads.
James Lileks has preserved a ton of scary stuff from the 60s and 70s like this:
The 1973 Sears Catalog – frightening fashions. Also noteworthy are several recognizeable models, including Veronica Hamel, Shelly Hack, and Susan Blakely.
The Dorcus Collection – scary men’s fashions, mostly from the 60s.
The Gallery of Regrettable Food – nasty looking pictures of food, mostly from 1950s cookbooks. Did people really eat this stuff?
Interior Desecrations – hideous interior design from the early 1970s.
I think it is him, too. I just checked imdb and he was born in 1970. It also mentions that his sister did modeling work, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he did as well. Wow! Thanks, Astro, for the laughs.
Scroll down to the plaid suit coat.
I owned one.

I posted that link 3-1/2 months ago, and not a single comment. I say that less with bitterness than with relief that someone else is spreading that joy.
When I’m in a bad mood, I can still cheer myself up by reading that. The rest of the blog is generally pretty good, too.
Astro, that third one was taken from my blog too. The original link is here:

Stop By!
What makes the shirt “A” in this shot a classic, is that when you blow it up, you can see that the shirt is buttoned all the way up! That’s all the buttons there are! Sweeeeet.
johnny, I doubt I’m alone in thinkin’ you need to stick around. Your kind of humor is much appreciated in these parts.
That comment about Brownies being boobless Girl Scouts was comedy gold.
Those clothes were so bad, but we didn’t know how stupid we looked at the time. I looked just about like that kid in the red pants and the striped shirt, although I don’t remember wearing belts.
Yes! I, for one, love you and have sent many friends to your blog. So, you kind of owe me. 
My brother had an ensemble very much like #3 how-to-get-your-ass-kicked-in-elementary-school. Especially the belt.
Lorene, thanks! Ctrl-Z, the first day of 8th grade I wore an awesome brown and tan matching jacket and pants that faded from dark brown to light tan going from top to bottom. Add the platform loafers and the giant white comb in the back pocket and I was a fashion force to be reckoned with.
I also walked into the girl’s bathroom that same day by mistake.
