You alright! I learned it from watching you!

After five+ hours of 80's I am suddenly in the mood to bleach my jeans then peg them, find a pair of lavender striped leg-warmers, throw on my red high top Chuck Taylors, and ripped sweat shirt then find the ol' crimping iron and a jumbo bottle of Aqua Net. Maybe throw on some Poison or Warrant. Possibly old school Salt N' Peppa. Wear three different huge dangly earrings (one for each hole), three or four Swatches (with Swatch-Guard!) and put on about two dozen gummy bracelets.

Then come home and watch Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Bright.

Ah, memories.

Be glad you don't actually still have these things stashed in your apartment tempting you. A couple years ago for Halloween I went as myself... in 1985. What seemed like a fun idea at the time just left me feeling weirder and weirder as the evening went on.

Tee hee! That's so classic.

And this? This in a nutshell is why the 80s has always terrified me right to my very soul.

I have a shocking pink Esprit top, if you'd like to finish off your ensemble.

HA!

And now I must memory this.

I also remember what your topic is from. Which I'm sure is a bad sign.
