who remember's the 80's?
« on: October 16, 2003, 05:08:13 pm »
i was born at end of 1985, so i really only had 4 years living in them, and since i was still watching Seseme Street at the time... i really dont remember much else about it! lol
but every year my school has a father/daughter dance and this year the theme is decades. frosh have 20's, sophs have 40's, junior's have 60's and seniors have 80's! and yeah... i have no idea what i should wear to show the 80's... so i need suggestions!

ooo! leg warmers...side-ponytail... a really wide neck-lined shirt (so that it falls past your shoulders)...all in really hideously mismatched colors. thats the essence of the 80s i believe.

Big hair, big clunky earrings, layered neon socks, big baggy t-shirts with one of those side tie things, LA Gear shoes.
I think you underestimate the level of my sneakiness

Damn good advice, Ally Sheedy in Breakfast Club was so damn hot. But I think Holly would do better with the Molly Ringwald look(s).

hey look.. i was 6-16 years old during the 80's .. I truly have no idea why people would ever want to relive them...

the music sucked.. people looked like freaks... and breakdancing could be a valild movie subject...  it was terrifying i tell you... those of you that don't know or can't remember, just be happy and move on... ;)
