New girlfriend dumped over "Palmetto" jeans

ERIE, PA -- In the Seventies, Jordache, Calvin Klein, and Palmetto jeans shot straight to the hips of teenagers all across America and almost just as fast, they shot right back in the closet for the trendy chicks. But one girl tried to buck the trend and it cost her the hand of her three-year-crush, Curt Moyer.

"Lisa Smith was totally hot," said Danny Thomas who was a good friend of Moyer at the time. "Then she started busting out with the same clothes she wore in High School and Curt would have no part of it."

Lisa's mom used to tell her she was "unique" and should do whatever she felt like doing. "Boys will appreciate your independence," she would say, but Moyer just couldn't look at her the same anymore."

I mean Lisa was a totally hot chick," Moyer said from the seat of his '78 Camero. "I was all about her, but you know how it is when you see someone do something that totally bugs you. It's hard to get passed it."

Smith tried to win back Curt's hand by stocking up on Guess and Girbaud jeans, but it was too late for Moyer.

"I don't care if she would have walked in with silk panties and a cashmere bra, all I could see were those damned Palmetto jeans."
