What the HELL is she wearing now?

Ah, sequined gym wear! How the 80's loved you!
 Woo!

I'll be fair to the Girls and admit that these snazzy outfits are not the ones they originally wore to the gym. They actually wore sensible sweats, like any sane senior should (awesome alliteration). Upon joining an aerobics class the girls learn that to be serious about exercising, you also have to have some serious exercise clothes. The aerobics instructor, a woman who would be very pretty if she didn't have a face, pretty much pressures the ladies into purchasing extravagant(ly expensive) workout gear.

That's right, these were the years when proper gear wasn't yoga pants from Lululemon (did I say extravagantly expensive...?), but rather leggings/vests/wife beaters covered in sequins, legwarmers, sparkly headbands, keds-like shoes and giant gold hoop earrings.

Honestly, Dorothy doesn't look too bad. Blanche on the other hand looks like she's auditioning to be a back-up dancer in a Michael Jackson video.

Rose was the only one not effected by peer pressure. She wore her good ol' grey sweats.

Windshield Wipers!
