- NEW!
by sweetielowe on September 19th, 2009
I cut mine out.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on October 3rd, 2009
Hiya, SPQ! Sometimes, I DO notice them. Usually, it;s when I'm wearing a material that easily slips around, anyway, such as a rayon or satin. The shoulder pads can then be kind of an annoyance, but it really isn't all their fault :) +5
by Jadey - Vive la difference on October 1st, 2009
Right now I am trying to think if any of my blazers have them in. I am sure they must do, so I guess I must be entirely unaware!
by Mountain Momma on October 6th, 2009
I don't wear them.=) +5
by dancer on September 18th, 2009
I notice them in others because if I wore them, I would look like a quarterback. I'm glad they're coming back in. Style lately has been blah. So next, bellbottoms? +5
by Kitt-tastrophy on September 18th, 2009
Oh I notice them...every time I bang my head from side to side into my shoulders I think to myself "I'm glad I didn't get the ones with spikes!!"

I have worn a gorgeous fitted jacket of my mums but the shoulder pads i couldn't handle! I naturally have kind of broad shoulders for a girl and as i'm short wearing shoulder pads seems to make me feel even smaller lol :) +5
by om-nom on October 9th, 2009
yeah ... i do notice them
by PrivateGomerSpooner on October 8th, 2009
The last time they were in clothes was 20 years ago.
by CatLover-The Original is Proudly Canadian on November 24th, 2009
Hey SPQ. I LOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEE your new avatar. Where in the world did you find such a special one :)
by Ms.A on November 21st, 2009
Oh,I'm aware!!!I duct taped 2 couch cushions to my shoulders and if I jump up and down,I can make change for a dollar!!;)
by chocstar on November 21st, 2009
I tend not to notice them to be honest SPQ - nor do the other people on my planet.......LOL
by Marguerite on November 20th, 2009
None of my clothes have shoulder pads. Should I go out and buy some and sew them on?
by RubyReds on November 19th, 2009
Only a few of my jackets still have it. I honestly dont notice them.
by Sarah M on November 12th, 2009
It's been so long since I've worn them I really don't know. I dress pretty casually, Now kneepads? I .....better not comment :)
by jostafine on October 8th, 2009
I don't wear them!!!!;D
by Carolann on October 4th, 2009
I dont have many clothes with pads BUT when I do wear them,I feel powerfull!
by Naia the Bee on October 2nd, 2009
Now that I think about it I actually don't wear any clothes with shoulder pads.

by CT on October 2nd, 2009
I don't have them in many items..but some clothes do come slighty padded and yes I notice..and think of you instantly :D :D
by Chicago Lady on October 2nd, 2009
Hi ShoulderPadQueen! Actually I don't wear many clothes with shoulder pads, except the occasional suit. My summer, and casual apparel, and my work clothes do not include shoulder pads. I am quite comfortable in my diverse clothing, and while I am aware of unique aspects of each, am not overly conscious of shoulder pads in a suit jacket. Good question! +5 :-)
by Gossamer on October 2nd, 2009
um did they not go out with the 80's?? +4 for nostalgia
by chickenchaser on October 2nd, 2009
Not many of my outfits have them anymore, as they are a little outdated. But, when I did I was always aware because they used to slip alot.
by Shatzee coming back? on October 1st, 2009
I do not even own any clothes with shoulderpads. I dont think I would either :)
by Firebrand on October 1st, 2009
I do not notice them. I walk very square shouldered and upright anyway because of dancing for so many years They seem quite natural to me.
by ChuckExAnon on October 1st, 2009
Shoulderpad aren't a problem for me. It's that rolled up sock that I strategically stick in my underdrawers that's uncomfortable. :-)

by Anonymous on October 1st, 2009
I don't notice them at all after lke 30 minutes
by Piratebooty on October 1st, 2009
Like shoulderpads under clothing? Um, when I did wear them, back in the 80s and 90s, I did notice them a bit because they tend to bunch up, especially after you wash them.
by Thriftymaid on October 1st, 2009
I don't like shoulder pads period. I've cut them out of the few clothing items that had them.
by Sunshine in a COAT of Sunshine on September 30th, 2009
I just love you passion SPQ. If I wore them Id not notice them.
by Ailsa on September 29th, 2009
I have no choice but to notice them
you started stitching pins into them lol
by Ms.A on September 29th, 2009
I am always aware of them because people are busy staring at my SPI's at not at my eyes.It's a curse,but yet it looks great,so it's worth it.
by aloha girl on September 19th, 2009
...mine were cut out & used as "nipple pads" inside my bra until I discovered "Walco bras that are made thick enough that is all you need...for those who have...shall we say, erect little soldiers beyond the call of duty..."...LOL...bet you didn't expect an answer like this, ShoulderPad....BTW...one day teaching (8th greade)...I looked down at the floor & saw one of those cut out shoulder pads (that had apparently somehow worked it's way out of my bra)...I kept teaching & nonchanlantly scooped in up in the middle of a lesson...no one noticed...but don't think I ever was comfortable wearing them again..lol...
by Yeahwell... on September 19th, 2009
Unfortunately, I can't wear them. I have no shoulders. I'm just a face.
by iandme on September 19th, 2009
Shoulderpads?! Are they back in style now? Why?!
by Over and Out on September 19th, 2009
I am sorry to say that I cut mine out too!
*is ashamed*
by Spicy Hot on September 19th, 2009
I dont notice them after a few minutes.
by unknown on September 19th, 2009
I don't have any shoulder pads. Maybe I should get some since you own a pair, it might make a nice trend lol.
by words o wisdom on September 19th, 2009
I don't wear them. :D
by Evil Pregnant Master on September 18th, 2009
hmm on others maybe, i cut them out of my clothes :P +6
by Cheery Cherry on September 18th, 2009
Why am I not surprised that you ask this question? LOL, well, I only have shoulder-pads on some jackets and coats...and no, I don't notice them since they are sewn in between the liner and the actual...like they're not flopping around or anything. I don't like shoulder-pads!
by gtravels loves her life penguin on September 18th, 2009
I thought those stopped when Dynasty ended.

time to buy some new clothes
by Moley the contrary female dragon on September 18th, 2009
I only seem to notice when they have turned round in the wash.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on January 17th, 2010
What I notice is that those women who wear them seem somewhat less feminine to me than those who don't. That is because I associate them with Joan Crawford in the 40's and she always played a tough broad. It's weird that I would think of her every time...I guess her shoulderpads were enormously big and I remember focusing on them rather than on her in the movie. Now, I don't think that was what the fashion designer or director necessarily wanted but that's all I ever remember seeing was the shoulderpads. They were a star in their own right and always stole the scenes from Joanie! :)
by Ron-T on January 17th, 2010
hi rosie,never wore shoulderpads before but i thought i might mention that i used to wear my kneepads at times when seeing my bank manager,lol
by -NUNYA-- on December 10th, 2009
I don't notice them the majority of the time. I have owned a few shirts that gave me 'fits' with the shoulderpads! I'd say 98% of the time, I don't notice them.
+5 ShoulderPadQueen!!! (((HUG)))
by dea_ex_machina on January 14th, 2010
If they are huge, then I am aware of them, as I keep seeing them out of the corner of my eye - and I find it difficult to walk through doors
When were poodle skirts worn?
