BART Fashion (Circa 1972)

BART, which was first opened and last cleaned 40 years ago this Tuesday, is celebrating their big four-oh by joining the millions of fellow perimenopausal women on Pinterest!  That's right, they're taking a look back at their trendier days with a solid spread of early BART fashion (with some photos of cakes, trains on cars, politicians, and train wrecks to boot).

All social media hahas aside, I can't help but marvel at how fashionable (and, presumably, laundered) BART uniforms were back in 1972—especially compared to the unremarkable rags of today.  Come to think of it, I'm not totally sure what they're even wearing these days.  Isn't it some sort of reformed prison uniform?

They look like employees of a Bond villain in the 1970s.

When sistah was doing her hair that morning, she was blasting:

♬♫♪Blackouts don’t mean a thing to me
You generate all the life I need
Your lips glow with electricity
We got our private source of energy

Right in the socket
Right dead in the socket
Right dead in the socket

Holy shit, that is 100% awesome.
