Frickin 80s

earlymadonnaThe 80s were the best frickin decade ever. Women were pretty and men were prettier. Eyeliner, big hair, sparkly clothes- it was such a great look.

If you compare decades, the 80s wins by far. Here’s why:

  • Nobody cared if you shaped your eyebrows, just ask Madonna.
  • Crooked teeth were A-O-K and gaps in your teeth worked, too.
  • All it took to look your best was three minutes, a can of aquanet and a fine-tooth comb.
  • Men wore make up.
  • Hammer pants (No explanation needed.)
  • Your feet were never cold, due to the multiple pairs of socks over tights with Reeboks.
  • Mr. Belvedere solved all of our problems.
  • Your crimped hair looked super-fantastic in a banana clip.
  • Jem was truly outrageous.
  • Your boyfriend’s permed mullet felt awesome when you ran your fingers through it.
  • You lost your sister, but still have enough beans and rice (Oregon Trail).
  • Side ponytails rocked.
  • Guys looked fantastic in hairband t-shirts and acid-washed jeans.

If you are of a different opinion, watch the clip below. I am sure it will convince you.

What are your favorite things about the 80s?

AGREED! – But a side note – I never wore makeup. Oh, and you forgot those really cool sunglasses that had the leather sides on them so the sun didn’t come in through the corner of your eye. :)

Don’t forget Units. I could get 23 outfits out of a pair of pants, a skirt, two tops and 3 different colored waist bands. Which all looked great with my layered socks and matching banana clip.

The 80’s were the best!!!
