What an...interesting selection of colours. And what, pray tell, is that colour the car's supposed to be?!

I think I know the picture you mean.
She did in fact work at Vogue with Diana. This is a very smart and shrewd woman.
She did look great in that movie. Remember the car too? ;)
Ali went to Wellesley and graduated in 1958. While there she was part of a small local theater group. One of the members of this group was - can you guess? Erich Segal who wrote "Love Story." :-0

There's a somewhat famous series of Joni Mitchell and Graham Nash from around that time. Joni wears the same hat. Ali's wardrobe in Love Story is epic. I think she was Diana Vreeland's assistant at Vogue prior to her career taking off.

Grandma? Wow, I feel old. She looks about 20 and judging by the clothes and hair this probably 88-92, so born late 60s, early 70s. She’d be a grandmother - maybe - of young children, right? Not ones old enough to be posting or is my math bad? Guess it’s possible if she and her kids had kids really young.

It was supposed to be the restyled Mustang but a mail in campaign by Mustang fans and owners changed the executives at Fords minds and it became the Probe.

No, this might be just after Hammer pants. Most of 1990 and early 91 were peak Hammer pants. I think he still had them into 92, but just wasn’t as prevalent.

My Dad bought the first Ford Probe available in our city when they first came out. He went to the dealership to look at the new Tempo's and saw their two new arrivals still on the truck. A decked out black GT and nifty red LX. Dad wanted the GT without so much as a test drive, but they refused to sell it to him. They had literally just arrived and they wanted at least a day or two to display it out front. The did agree to sell him the red LX, so he bought it. They were '89 models, and this was in March of '88, btw. I was working in automotive service at the time and hadn't even heard about them yet, so I was a bit surprised. Didn't take long to figure out they were just a reskinned Mazda 626, which was just fine because they were slicker than owl doo-doo...

1980s hair products are probably behind the bulk of climate change we see today.

Remember tanning places? And the head only things that you stuck your face right into? Scream, I did a few of those in my time :-0
