Shoulder Pads and Rolling Rinks: The Unsustainable Future of Fashion

Warning: the 80s were a weird time in the fashion world. Shoulder pads were all the rage, but not for their functionality. No, they were for their sheer, unadulterated style.

But wait, it gets worse. People were so caught up in the aesthetic that they forgot the real issue: rolling rinks. That's right, folks, the rinks that rolled.

As a time traveler, you might be wondering how this could have happened. Well, let me tell you, it's because of the Spandex, Baby! Spandex, Baby! fad that took over the world. Who needs practicality when you have shiny, stretchy pants?
