LouieThe Mr T fashion Show!

You read correctly, this is The Mr T fashion Show
Mr T will always turn heads
Adorned in pimp daddy, Mac Stylin’ bling, a cyber punk rocker Mohawk and menacing image, no one can ever accuse Laurence Tureaud a.k.a. Mr T of not having his own individual fashion sense. But why inflict it on others?
Ever imagine what it would be like if bad ass B.A Baracus hosted fashion TV. Me neither, but his real life kiddie friendly, gentle giant alter ego obviously did. I stumbled upon this footage late last night and it has invaded my rudimentary consciousness ever since.
B.A Baracus - I pity the fool who buys designer labels
Filmed back in the 1980’s, this work in street chic urban ware is less of a blast from the past and more of a neutron dance. A fluorescent flashing neon light that represents the era with the same thoroughness as a Miami Vice episode.
It’s frightening to think how outrageously far outside the box 80’s garments dared to go. Screaming for attention, at the same time off putting and clownish, yet it somehow worked back then.
The A-team of fashion 911?
Enough about the clothes, back to Clubber Lang. Having Mr T as the presenter on this glass of Max-Headroom-Geek-Boy Tab cola adds a time capsule appeal, it’s a postcard to a generation.
In Rocky 3
Before Mr T became an overnight sensation as Clubber Lang in Rocky 3 he was a respected celebrity bodyguard. His clients included Steve McQueen, Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali and Michael Jackson.
Remaining in the spotlight after Sylvester Stallone discovered him in a Worlds Strongest Man Competition, T again became a household character name as B.A Baracus in The A-Team.
You have all waited long enough. So now here it is. For your viewing pleasure. The Mr T Fashion show, 80’ style. - Warning content may blind some viewers.
