That looks like a recent picture of the beastie boys, not true 80s style.

Better???

Yeah, I noticed that as soon as I posted it, but I was too lazy to look for a decent older one.

Maddul, much.

Beginning 80´s I was watching this:

Mid 80´s this:

And late 80´s I listened to these guys:

Awesome ( ) decade to grow up in! I hope to be there...

R/
L
´90!

oops, just got tickets to England...Sunday morning flight...

I just remembered:

New York, Paris, London, MUNICH, everybody talk about... POP MUSIC!

(this is so going on the playlist)

M!

Ahh, IPJ's one-hit wonder of choice

just found a CD from 80s party I had a long time ago - A-ha, Soft Cell, Wang Chung, Thomas Dolby, Toni Basil...making me laugh just typing it. Will bring it along...

will the TB be serving white zinfindel?

Hi
I'm off to Berlin instead this weekend so you'll all be spared the sight of me in a rah-rah skirt (bet you're all gutted now).
Have a skills on wheels party though!

Bucks fizz should be the drink of the evening

Anyone know where I can get a fake moustache from? Kind of like this one...

I don't know what to wear! What is everyone else coming as? Any ideas?

You should go as Madonna obv. BG! You'd need some serious scrunch drying though! H&M has a lot of 80s gear in their ex-Gap store.

big lace bow in poofed up hair, lace gloves and babydoll socks worn with pumps (white if you have them) and a miniskirt to match. spray bangs into a "claw". shoulder pads.

done.

I'm going to raid the Kleidermarkt on Saturday

@Memo - good memory!

@Silva - great idea!

Anyone remember the song Dear God by XTC? Definitely one of my 80's favorites...

I dunno. It's days like these that make me wish I kept all those neon shirts and stirrup pants

I am thinking that 80's hair might just be enough for me.

Ew, Blimeygirl, don't remind me about stirrup pants! They've got to be high up on the list of greatest public fashion blunders.

Yeah it was pretty bad man. Of course I knew people that wore them with cowboy boots (yes there was a cowboy boot phase in my area around 1989 or so) and sometimes even over the bottom of the boot. Talk about blunder.

And I just realized that my hair straightener has a crimper attachment. Hair might possibly be sorted.

Anyone remember this fine lady?

does anyone have a hair crimper?

Man, I really wish I still had that wrap-around-three-times studded belt...

>>I don't know what to wear!

It's all in the accessories. Take a peechee folder and a rubik's cube. I have an old sony walkman you can borrow, if you like.

Sadly yes. And I just bought it last year. It is actually a hair straightener with attachments. Why they felt the need to include a crimper attachment I will never know.

I expect to see your hair crimped and in a side ponytail then!

I can't go to this but could somebody please do a legwarmers and fingerless gloves count for me ? Thank you.

Hmm no idea what I can wear, my mum dresses me now pretty much the same as she did in the 80s. All I can remember were some tight brown shorts called "stubbies", and a t-shirt with a truck and "keep on truckin" written on it. Doubt they fit me anymore though.

new here & feeling "intimidating" walking in to this alone. anyone care to "chaperone" me?

@ zimmer

Def come on by! I'll be the guy dressed as the 4th member of Run DMC (I'll be there EARLY - around 6).

@Zimmer - Come along, you'll have a blast.

I'll be the one in a pink Hawiain shirt, trying to pull off a Magnum look.

Wax ON! Wax Off! Is all I have to say about the matter!

alright. will look for the pink hawaiian shirt. too bad i left my hawaiian dress & garland at home

Damn. Don't have a crimper. I guess I'll just have to do it the cheapy way and make little braids all over my head before I go to sleep the night before.

all right. but only if you wear it in a ponytail, on the side, with either a scrunchie or a lace bow.

everyone must be wearing something neon.

If only I still lived with my olds I would be set. Seriously where do you guys get 80s gear from? I mean most of you are somewhere else than where you were in the 80s, so arent really likely to have old 80s gear lying around are you? Fuck all op shops here too.

Had similar problems over fasching actually.

80s are coming back into style Kza, so H&M would be a good bet for 80s gear.

Hmm... I'm gonna have a hard time pulling off any 80's hairdo's , however, I still have some hope for a totally radical getup.

Any ideas for me peeps?

Vielen Dank!

How about pegged jeans, Converse high tops and a polo shirt with a denim jacket?

Courduroy OP shorts, a regular t-shirt and a pink Members Only jacket?

T-shirt with a blazer Miami Vice style?

Was YMCA late 70s or early 80s, or both? Dare someone to turn up in the leather outfit!

Girls, I need help! I really want to do the tank top with the off the shoulder over it, but the only thing I have that I can possibly wear off the shoulder would be too hot. Does anyone have a relatively thin, baggy shirt with a huge neck (preferably solid color that goes ok with beige, peach and/or wine-ish purple...black would be perfect)?

@KM - They were definitely 70s in my book.

Sounds great but I'm torn between this or going on the hike! Don't think my legs are up to hiking AND dancing on the same day, not as young as I was

Man I want to go so bad but I have to attend this birthday party where I will Have to sit in the corner and pretend I know German...welll I hope everyone has a good time and dances to "shy to shy" ... if they play it and has a good time...

Have my outfit and hairstyle all picked out and will be there *cough* (although I wasnt really "aware" of the 80's as I was born in 81 ) still excited to be there though!

You're kidding me arent you?
Well answer the following questions -

1) Can I win prizes on the Hike?

No, but you can at the 80's party.

2) Will I hear Wake me up before you go-go on the Hike?

No, but you will at the 80's party.

3) Will there be free sweets on the hike?

No, but there will at the 80's party.

4) Should I go to the hike or the Party?

PARTY!!! PARTY!!! PARTY!!!

@Perdido - Go to your party, stay an hour and make your excuses and come over to the TB.

does someone have pics of fashion in the 80ies. the indians had a totally different trend so i think what came out in the 80ies here was the 90ies back home but i could be wrong. just makin sure so that i dress for the right decade.
