Do you remember the 80's? It was a time of big hair and sweater vests, leg warmers and parachute pants. A time where both pop and hair bands ruled the music scene. Debbie Gibson, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake...just to name a few.
I got a moment to relive the 80's (see photos' at bottom). I know, I was only born in '78...but I had a Rubik's cube, plenty of Cabbage Patch Kids and what kid DIDN'T have an Atari console back then? I mean, really. I watched the Smurfs and played with Strawberry Shortcake dolls, My Little Ponies, Rainbow Brite, He-Man & She-Ra... And EVERYBODY had to have Pop Rocks.
Remember those Members Only jackets? How cheesy were those? And of course, every girl had ripped Jordache jeans with spandex shorts underneath (oh, the horror!)...not to mention the guys got in on that fad too... Remember Flashdance and The Breakfast Club? What about Sixteen Candles? I'm sure just about everyone's seen Back to the Future and The Karate Kid...and don't forget cheesy 80's horror flicks!
Alright. Enough already. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is as follows:
Write me something about the 80's. Length doesn't matter, but the longer it is, the funnier it should be. I have a relatively short attention span. Please, make it funny if you can. I'm a big fan of humor. Either write about one trend from the 80's or many. I don't care.
Jackie, I hope you don't kill me for posting this, but I couldn't resist...... While I was down visiting I stayed at her house and she had a late night birthday party at Classic Skating. The theme was 80's and they got to dress up and go rollerskating! How cool is that, bringing back the 80's.... LOVE THE LEG WARMERS... I was so honored when I got to take a photo with two of the hottest chicks. Boy they pulled it off, and her hubby Jason ROCKED! I am glad they had a great time...
